The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 728

Chapter 728 Is The Hightower Family Involved

Initially, Roxanne wanted to put out a statement. However, since her Twitter account was mostly used to surf for news, it essentially had no content. Therefore, whatever she had to say would likely not reach anyone.

After further contemplation, she decided to give Colby a call and got him to use the research institute’s account to put out her clarification.

Although the account wasn’t particularly popular, it was still a much better option than using hers. “What happened?” Colby had gone to the research institute early and only learned of the controversy when Roxanne gave him a call.

When he saw the pictures of Roxanne and Jack interacting with each other, he felt a faint squeeze in his heart. Sighing in resignation, Roxanne clarified, “I can’t really give you a good explanation but what happened last night was a misunderstanding. Both of us were not alone at the dinner.”

Even though her assurances failed to cheer Colby up, he remained hopeful and persuaded himself to have faith in Roxanne.

After all, if I don’t trust her, one can’t expect the netizens who are ridiculing her to do the same. Moreover, Roxanne has no reason to lie about the matter.

Holding that thought, the relieved Colby answered in a grim voice, “I understand. I’ll put the statement out.” Roxanne grunted in acknowledgment before ending the call.

Half an hour later, both Jack’s and the research institute’s statements were released at almost the same time and quickly became a trending topic.

However, instead of convincing anyone, the response triggered was entirely hostile and filled with skepticism. In fact, on Jack’s Twitter account, netizens even began to cast doubt on the Damaris family.

B3232: Why are the Damaris family’s selection criteria for the partners so lenient? How can one be included in such an important project or even end up on the name list by pulling some strings? Do you take us for fools?

Love212: Is being pretty all that’s needed to be selected? In that case, even I am qualified.
