Chapter 734 Quick Turnaround That very night, the Queen family announced that Roxanne was the one who had cured Alfred’s sickness, resulting in the latter nominating her as a candidate for the Damaris family’s project.

The intewent abuzz right after that.

In a short span of time, those who were initially against Roxanne now sided with her, although there were swho still questioned her ability.

Roxanne was astounded to suddenly receive such an update before going to bed.

She had once thought of asking Alfred to help clear the air, but she also didn’t want to involve him in the whole ordeal.

Yet, the Queen family had decided to help her voluntarily.

Thanks to that, the situation was now far more controlled compared to during the day, even if sremained doubtful of her.

Not wanting to disrupt Alfred’s quiet time, Roxanne decided to dial Jonathan's number.

The latter had just finished taking care of his family’s PR errands when he answered Roxanne’s call.

“I just saw the announcement made by your family. Thank you for speaking up for me, Mr. Queen,” the woman said with gratitude.

Jonathan let out a profound chuckle. “Don’t just thank me. To be honest, | took a lot of risks over this matter. | wouldn't necessarily have spoken up if it were just for your sake.” Roxanne froze briefly upon hearing that, and she thought back to the similar tone he had used during the medical consultation back at the orphanage.

She had thanked him under the assumption that he had helped her when it was, in fact, Lucian’s decision all along.

Did he do something again? “Did Lucian go and look for you?” Roxanne surmised.

Jonathan's laughter cthrough the phone instantly. “That's right. Well, | did consider taking action, but it was Lucian’s personal phone call that really convincedto make the announcement. So if you want to express your gratitude, I'm not the only one you should be thanking.” Conflict swirled within Roxanne’s heart.

So that phone call he made on the balcony while | was making dinner was to Mr. Queen? He was asking him to make an appearance and help me. He probably would've continued to keep this fromif Mr. Queen hadn't explained anything.

Roxanne felt perplexed at the thought of this.

“I will, Mr. Queen. Thank you,” she finally responded, concealing her mixed emotions. “I'll thank Old Mr. Queen in person another time.” Jonathan agreed with a smile.

Right after hanging up, Roxanne opened up her chat conversation with Lucian, but even after staring at her screen for God knows how long, she couldn't figure out what to write.

Ultimately, she put her phone away without sending out a single text message.

Back at the Hightower residence, Stephen thought that since his daughter had apologized to Roxanne and the latter had forgiven her, Lucian would now let them off and that they were clear from danger.

Yet, even after waiting all day, the situation remained the sas that of the past two days, with various companies calling in and asking to terminate joint projects for all sorts of reasons.

Things becdirer by night, where those who called couldn't even cup with any more excuses, instead telling Stephen frankly that Lucian had told them not to work with the Hightowers. Naturally, Stephen dared not say anything in response.

It was only after hanging up that he realized something amiss, so he headed upstairs to knock on Jessica’s door.

The young woman was currently staring at her phone with a grim expression.

It's only been one day! | took so long planning everything, and yet the tables have already turned? To think that even the Queen family backed that woman up! What's so great about her?
