She later appears at Mark Beaks' press conference involving his app which allows anyone in Duckburg assistance from the robot buddy with a simple click. When Roxanne asks Beaks if he will be responding to all help requests, Beaks added that for the sake of efficiency, he would decide who he saves and who he doesn't.

Not too long after, does she make another report stating that Glomgold industries has now risen to the top of the stock index, making him the richest duck in the world.

Suddenly, she is given another report and is saddened to say that Scrooge McDuck has died of a disease known as "Gold Fever." She attends the funeral of Scrooge while witnessing Glomgold burst in and gloat about Scrooge's death. However, when Huey intentionally motivates Glomgold to admit his scheme of stopping time to make Scrooge go mad, it is then revealed that Manny was playing dead inside the coffin with a false head of Scrooge. The civilian who sat beside Roxanne is revealed to be Scrooge in disguise, who admits he faked his own death and staged Roxanne's news report and the funeral in order to get Glomgold to admit to committing fraud.
