Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 647

Chapter 647

Everyone heard Jessica clearly.

Of course, they did not know much about the medical field. Hence, they merely nodded at Jessica’s remarks.

After all, they had the perception that accomplished doctors would typically be in their fifties. People would not normally associate a young and beautiful woman like Roxanne with being an accomplished doctor in the medical field.

Jessica’s hand edged closer and closer to Roxanne’s face. The latter’s face turned cold. She was ready to swat off Jessica’s hand at any moment right then.

However, before Roxanne could do so, a large hand struck first and immobilized Jessica’s hand.

The man clutching her hand had evidently exerted a considerable amount of force, so much so that Jessica lost her balance and staggered a few steps back and missed Roxanne’s face.

“You could consult Dr. Lambert if you have any doubts about her medical skills, or you could also ask Old Mr. Queen. I believe he will have an answer for you.” Lucian threw a scornful look at the tipsy woman before him. “Also, if you can’t control yourself after having a few drinks, you’d better not attend these functions.”

Before Jessica could respond, Lucian eyed the crowd and fixed his gaze on Cayden as he ordered, “Get someone to send Ms. Hightower home.”

Cayden hastily agreed.

Lucian’s grip hurt Jessica’s wrist, and she slowly snapped out of her daze. Her blurry vision slowly became focused as she started to recognize the man before her.

“M-Mr. Farwell?” Her voice turned shaky as she registered the face in front of her.

Lucian looked daggers at her. Noticing that she was finally sobering up, he swung her off to one side with a disdained look on his face. “I’m glad that you’ve finally sobered up, Ms. Hightower. I think it’s best that you refrain from drinking from now on.”

Jessica felt her legs going jelly at the realization. She staggered a few steps backward before she could finally steady herself.

Despite Lucian’s rough treatment, Jessica dared not utter another word as she lowered her head, still reeling in from the shock.
