“It's your extreme obsessiveness that makes it so wrong!”
No one else was more upset than Roxanne to see Jack in that light. “There are so many paths that you could have taken to glorify the name of the Damaris family. Yet, you insist on choosing such a crooked path! As healthcare workers, our purpose is to save others. But you, as the heir of the Damaris family, have used your knowledge of medicine to cause others harm! Despite all that, you still don't think you should repent!”
Both Jack and Roxanne were doctors, not to mention that their first encounter was at a free medical consultation.
All of the admiration that Roxanne had for Jack had turned into disappointment. The better the impression she had of Jack in the past, the more disappointed she was at the moment.
“Jack, I can forget about you poisoning me for your own selfish gain, but how could you bet on Damaris Group? Did Old Mr. Damaris ever cross your mind? What would he think of the situation now? When you were carrying out your plans, did you not think that you would someday end up in this situation?”
Despite speaking in a composed manner, Roxanne's interrogation was deafening to Jack's ears.
Nevertheless, Jack had already reached the point of no return. How could he be willing to admit his mistakes then?
Shooting daggers at Roxanne, who was standing in front of him, Jack clenched his teeth and hissed, “What do you know? You're just a mediocrity that changed your career halfway down the road! Do you really think of yourself as a genius just because others complimented you once or twice? How dare you judge me from your high horse? What's your relationship with the Damaris family? Why should you speak up for the Damaris family?”
Roxanne was taken aback when she heard what Jack said. The shock in her eyes quickly resolved to sorrow. “I really was wrong about you. I would have never thought that these are your true colors.”
How could the heir of the prestigious Damaris family be so driven by greed?
In the past few days, no matter how disappointed she was in Jack, Roxanne clung to the glimmer of hope that he had just transiently lost his rationality.
Yet, from the looks of it, she had been mistaken. Jack had always been an avaricious person beneath his humble and noble persona.
