Scarlett opened her sleepy eyes and rubbed them. When she stood up and saw Jack's frown, she
stretched out her hands to touch his temple.
As soon as she reached out her hand, she was stared at by Jack in disgust. Seeing that he took a few
steps back, Scarlett sneered, "Jack, do you really dislike me so much? Then why do you want me to
stay with you?"
Jack frowned more tightly, but obviously he was not in the mood to stand here and listen to her
nonsense.
When he was about to walk to the bathroom, Scarlett grabbed his arm. Tears streamed down her face.
She said hysterically, "Why don't you touch me even if you are drunk? Jack, what on earth do you want
me to do?"
Before she could finish her words, Jack took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a bank card from it,
and handed it to Scarlett. "It's yours. The password is the same as the one last time. Don't talk
nonsense like this anymore. I don't want to hear these words the second time!"
The same way again!
Just like last time. But Scarlett still took the bank card without courage and pinched it in her palm. But
the pain made her feel more satisfied.
In the cafe, Kailey was sitting on her seat. As soon as she saw Scarlett, she raised her hand and
greeted, "Cousin, here!"
She quickly spread out the menu, turned around, pushed it over, and asked with a smile, "I don't know
what you want to drink, so I haven't ordered."
Scarlett took off her scarf and sat down opposite her. "Why are you calling me in such a hurry?"
She ordered a cup of coffee and returned the menu to the waiter. Then she looked up at Kailey.
She rubbed her eyes and licked her lips. Then she lowered her head and stared at her hand. She
wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. Scarlett frowned and said, "Tell me what
happened. Don't be like this."
"It's about my shop..."
Kailey didn't run a clothing shop or a dessert shop with her friend. Instead, the two of them opened a
small bar. It's said that only running a bar would earn money faster.
Scarlett didn't say anything, but took a sip of the coffee that the waiter had just served, waiting quietly
for her to continue.
"It's just being redecorated, but we have used too much money, so we don't have enough money to
purchase now. I want to borrow some more from you." Before Scarlett could say anything, Kailey
stretched out her hand and waved her five fingers in front of her. "This time, I'll ask you to lend me
these. Cousin, you are so rich now. It's not difficult for you to borrow such a little money to me, right?"
"Fifty thousand dollars?" Scarlett held back her anger and didn't roll her eyes.
Kailey smiled sheepishly. "No, it's five hundred thousand dollars."
"What?"
Scarlett screamed and pounded the table with her hands. She stood up directly. Kailey held her hand
and hinted her to sit down. "Cousin, you were too excited just now. Now everyone is looking at you."
She had to straighten her clothes and coughed, pretending nothing had happened. She sat down
again, but her face was serious. "Do you really think of me as an ATM? You've taken one million dollars
from me, and now another five hundred thousand dollars. How could I have so much money?"
"Cousin, don't lie to me. The clothes you bought in the shopping mall are worthy these money, right?"
Kailey used her trump card again and put her hands in front of her as a plea. "Cousin, you just ask
Jack to take these money easily. Anyway, I don't know where to get the money. If I don't have the five
hundred thousand dollars, the previous one million will be in vain. Are you willing to do that?"
Hearing this, Scarlett sighed deeply. After a moment of silence, she finally said helplessly, "Okay, I'll
transfer the money to you tomorrow."
Rachel's life seemed to have returned to peace again. The news about Jack had been published on the
Internet for so many days, and everyone was tired of it. Their interest in him gradually faded away. Now
there was less news about him and Scarlett, and they could only see one in two or three days.
And she hadn't seen Jack since that day.
Julie mentioned him a few times. Sometimes she went to the kitchen to get some water at night. For
several times, she saw Jack's car parking in the yard and he just sat in the car.
Rachel didn't know what he meant and had no interest to know.
On this day, Rachel slowly put down her clothes and sat up carefully. The doctor also put down the
instrument in his hand and said with a smile, "Your baby is in good condition. It's normal. Don't worry."
"Thank you, doctor."
Rachel's belly was always told too small. At first, she was worried that if her appetite was not good
these days, which led to the lack of nutrition. Now hearing the doctor's words, she was relieved.
Julie, who was standing beside them, took the B Ultrasound report, folded it and put it into the room.
Then she reached out her hand to help Rachel and asked with a smile, "Miss, are you not going to the
hospital later? How about we go to the supermarket together and see what you want to eat?"
It was really difficult to buy food. Standing in front of a variety of counters, she didn't know what she
should reach out for. There were only a few kinds of food materials she picked up every day. Seeing
that Rachel's appetite was not as good as day after day, Julie came up with such a suggestion.
Thinking that there was nothing to do only to sit in the sofa at home, Rachel agreed.
As soon as they left, Jack came in. The doctor seemed to have known he would come and gave him
the copy of the inspection report he gave to Julie just now, and said with a smile, "Mr., you are so
considerate that you come to get it on time every month. But I'm a little curious. Why don't you let your
wife know?"
"I just want to give her a little surprise." Jack smiled bitterly. Of course he wanted to come with her for
the prenatal checkups.
But he didn't have the chance from beginning.
When they arrived at the supermarket, Julie was pushing a shopping cart. Standing beside them,
Rachel was carefully browsing the goods on the shelf. Some time ago, she wanted to eat everything
she saw, but now she had no appetite at all.
It seemed to be a cycle of reincarnation, with some torture, but also a hint of happiness.
When they arrived at the vegetable zone, Rachel took a handful of vegetables and threw them into the
shopping cart. "You'd better cook some vegetables in the evening and replenish with vitamins."
"Okay." Julie agreed. She was wondering whether it was better to boil vegetables with water or to fry it
with a little oil.
The two of them walked forward quietly. Rachel stopped in front of an ice cabinet, bent down and
picked up a box of cut streaky pork from it. At this time, an arrogant female voice came into her ears.
"Well, you can take whatever you want to eat. I have a lot of money now."
It was the first time that Rachel had heard someone describe herself like this. She smiled helplessly.
Then another girl beside the girl asked in disbelief, "Really? I heard that you lost your job and have
been running a bar recently. How could you get so much money? Don't tell me that you are a mistress.
I don't think you will be liked by a rich man."
She said mercilessly.
The girl immediately raised her hand and tapped her partner's forehead with great strength. "But my
cousin found a rich man."
"That's why I said that my cousin is so stupid. But how lucky she is! Do you know who her boyfriend is
now?"
"I don't know such rich men. I can't guess what he is."
"Some time ago, the heroin in the news is my cousin, and the man is the president of MK Group, Jack.
I don't know how much he gave my cousin. Anyway, as long as I put in a good word for her, she would
give me as much money as I want. I told her that I needed one million dollars to run a bar, and she
gave me. In fact, our shabby shop doesn't need so much money. Five hundred thousand dollars is
enough!"
The girl laughed arrogantly. She didn't lower her voice because they were in a public place. Instead,
she spoke loudly, as if she was afraid that others couldn't hear her. "Today, I told my cousin that the
purchasing needs five hundred thousand dollars and she would give me tomorrow. At that time, I can
use those money by myself."
The voice faded away with the two of them.
With a box of pork in her hand, Rachel stood still in front of the fridge, frowning tightly.
Of course, Julie heard it clearly. She parked the shopping cart aside, walked up to her and asked with
concern, "Miss, should we tell Mr. Jack about this?"
"Let's talk about it when he comes back."
Rachel was a little hesitant. She didn't know if she would be regarded as a bad person if she said so?
After all, everyone knew that Scarlett was the one Jack loved most now, even more doted on than
Celine before.
With a wry smile, Rachel thought it was unnecessary for her to meddle in this matter. After all, money
was nothing to Jack.
After walking a long way back from the supermarket, Rachel only felt that her legs were a little heavy,
so she went back to her room and planned to lie on the bed for a rest. She picked up her phone and
put it down again. She was still hesitant whether to tell Jack what she had heard in the supermarket.
On the one hand, she hoped that she wouldn't want to meddle in other people's business. On the other
hand, she really didn't want Jack to be treated as a fool!
