It was true that Celine had taken advantage of Jack.
After being driven out of Ninwell City, Celine met up with two friends in a bar. Seeing how troubled she
was, they offered her a drug that could make her forget everything, and she became obsessed with it.
Last week, after both of them had heard how much of a good life she had in Ninwell City, they called
her up and came to find her.
They had done their best to butter her up, and Celine agreed to go out with them.
They spent the night bar hopping.
They all injected some sort of drug into their systems, so even they didn't know what they were talking
about during those times.
In fact, she didn't even know that she had bedded a stranger that night.
The next day, she found herself lying naked in an outdated motel.
The day after that, she received a package that held stacks of photos that showed her and some
strange man. Next, someone called her up, asking for a sum of money; otherwise, these photos would
be all over the Internet.
However, she had no money.
She had already taken out all the money she had left to find someone to investigate and follow Rachel
around. Now, her account was probably as wiped clean as her face.
"Please give me some time to prepare," she had begged.
Surprisingly, the man had agreed. What she didn't know was that he had already contacted Baron
about the photos.
Of course, everything went according to the stranger's plan.
Given that Celine was his girlfriend by name, Baron had to use his own money to buy him out. This was
his reputation on the line! As soon as he returned home, he took out his anger on her, which resulted to
the injuries she had now.
Her tears slid down her face as she wrenched the needle from the back of her hand. She struggled to
reach Jack. "Listen to me," she stuttered. "I was framed. Please trust me."
"I don't care."
Jack could only stare at her coldly. "Don't ever call me again."
Without giving her a chance to reply, he left.
After taking the antibiotics, Rachel felt much better.
When she went out of the room, she didn't see Eric. She chuckled. 'This guy will never grow up. He
probably went somewhere to party again.'
On the contrary, she actually envied the man for being so carefree. He always lived a good life without
a single care in the world.
As she was pouring herself a glass of water in the kitchen, her phone rang.
"Hi, Dad!" she greeted.
"You finally turned on your phone." He sighed in relief. "Where are you now? Do you think you can
come over? Or is it better if I come to you?"
Given the urgency of his voice, she knew that he wanted to talk about the news regarding Jack and
Celine.
She thought for a while and replied, "I'll go to you. Wait for me."
She already made up her mind to tell him her decision.
The sun was about to set when Rachel got out of the Fu family's house. She sent a message to Eric
and asked that the driver to take her to her home. When she got out of the car, she happened to run
into Jack.
Jack had just returned from Eric's house.
When he saw her, he was so relieved that he walked up to her and reached for her hand. She avoided
him, only for his hand to fall back to his side. He smiled awkwardly. "Rachel."
She nodded expressionlessly.
Jack observed her actions carefully. It seemed that she still looked the same as she did a few days
back. Maybe that meant that she still hadn't seen the news.
In the morning, after Eric went over to make a fuss, he immediately asked someone to suppress the
news. Now, not even a picture was posted on the Internet.
"I got delayed last night. I'm sorry.
How about we go to that restaurant now? I've already booked a table," he said, gazing at her fawningly.
Rachel shrugged. "No, thanks." After saying that, she headed to her room and turned on her computer.
Her mouse scrolled over the form that the director had sent over. Without hesitation, she began to fill it
out.
On her way back from the Fu family, she had already called the hospital to tell them that she would be
attending the training abroad.
The next morning, Jack changed into his clothes and headed back to buy some breakfast. He knocked
on the master bedroom, calling out, "Rachel, get up and have some breakfast. I'll take you to the
hospital later."
She opened the door with a click.
After gazing up at him, she went downstairs into the dining room. However, she didn't touch the
breakfast that he had bought for her. Instead, she made herself a cup of coffee.
"Don't you want to try the shrimp dumplings?" he coaxed her.
Glancing at the door, Rachel took a sip from her coffee and walked up to the porch. She didn't even
look at him as she grabbed her car keys.
Jack hurried towards her. "I'll drive you there."
She neither agreed nor refused.
This was how Rachel treated Jack.
Given that these were the last few days that they were together, she shouldn't treat him so bad, but
then again, she also didn't treat him well either.
However, in Jack's eyes, he thought that this was a good sign.
At least she wasn't as cold to him as before.
Now, they were just right back to where they once started.
He believed that as long as he treated her better, it wouldn't be long before she would forgive him.
Soon enough, they would get back together.
In the canteen, Lucas bought two sandwiches. He handed one to Rachel. "Didn't you have breakfast?"
She usually didn't come here in the morning.
