Chapter 642
“Jessica, what are you doing?” Jack stood in front of Roxanne grimly.
Jessica was drunk, and she had lost most of her inhibition and rationality. Therefore, when she saw Jack defending Roxanne, she became even more enraged.
Despite that, Jessica was still gentle with Jack. “Move aside, Jack! This has nothing to do with you.” In fact, she still tried to squeeze out a smile for him.
Jack frowned. “Jessica, we’re in a public space, so please mind your behavior. Go back soon if you’re drunk!”
With that, his eyes flitted toward Jessica’s friends, a sign of him wanting them to take Jessica away.
They immediately understood what he meant and carefully came over.
However, just as they were about to reach Jessica, Jessica spotted them.
“Get lost, all of you!” Jessica shouted hysterically before turning to look at the spot behind Jack. “Come out here,
Roxanne! What are you scared of?”
Roxanne met her gaze with a frown. “Ms. Hightower, sober up. I’m only friends with Mr. Damaris.”
Even if they did have a relationship, Jessica had no right to intervene in it.
After all, the only thing between Jessica and Jack was that Jessica had a crush on the latter.
Still, those words were not hers to say.
“Friends?” Jessica laughed mockingly. “You have plenty of friends, don’t you? It’s already so late, but Mr. Morrison and Jack are still keeping you company. I knew it. You’re a minx who’s going after two men at once. You’re smug, aren’t you?”
The moment those words were out of her mouth, the expressions of the trio darkened.
“Jessica Hightower,” Jack bellowed. “Mind your words. You and I have no romantic relationship to speak of. Ms. Jarvis is only a business partner and a friend to us. What nonsense are you spouting?”
