Stuck in you

Chapter 56 Snitch On Rachel

While narrating what happened, Celine couldn't help but cry. Then, biting her lower lip, she continued in a soft voice, "She mocked me and said I was just a bitch. She asked me whether I was dumped by you, as I was so poor that I gave so much importance to a mere dress. But, I rarely care about that dress because it was a gift from you. But, I didn't expect that boy to stain my dress just like that!"

Glancing at him, Celine saw Jack's brows slightly frowning. Her heart was bursting with joy.

However, what she didn't know was that Jack had something else in his mind.

Jack couldn't remember when he had sent her a dress. He asked Celine, "What dress did I give you?"

Hearing his question, Celine was stunned. She didn't expect that he would ask her such question.

"The one you brought back from France."

Failing to remember anything, Jack kept silent. After a while, he asked again, "What else did Rachel say to you?"

Celine's heart skipped a beat. She kept her mouth shut for a while. Thinking fast, she had to be careful with her next words. However, what came out was much different from the truth.

From Celine's mouth, Rachel was a spiteful woman. According to her, Rachel humiliated her in front of many people.

What really happened was distorted by Celine's statements.

Her version of the story showed how Rachel scolded Celine like a bitch. She told Jack how miserable she felt at that time.

Doubt seeped through Jack's mind, though he didn't think that Celine would lie.

If Rachel hadn't done anything bad to Celine, the latter wouldn't have drunk herself. But hearing Celine's words about Rachel, Jack became suspicious.

Celine had once seen Rachel in a cafe. His man who was protecting Celine sent him a video. Jack watched their whole conversation.

He knew Rachel's style of being mean, which was different from Celine's description.

To be more specific, Celine made Rachel sound so boorish. It was not like Rachel at all.

Processing the information Celine gave, Jack thought she might have changed the story a bit in order to make Rachel bad. Devoid of any expression, he released Celine and said, "Take it easy. I will talk to her later."

Suddenly, Celine's face darkened. Her intention of telling Jack was for him to hate that woman and to stay away from her, not to get in touch with her!

Releasing his hand, she angrily shouted, "Don't ever see that woman!"

Realizing that her tone was a bit harsh, she added softly, "I don't want you to see her. Please don't. Okay?"

Jack nodded. With a satisfied smile on her face, Celine leaned on him and said, "Her boyfriend was also frightening. He said mean things to me too."

"Boyfriend?" Jack asked, slightly narrowing his eyes.

Without raising her head, Celine answered, "Yes. They worked together against me."

"How did you know they are in a relationship?" Jack asked in a low voice.

With a straight face, Celine lied, "They entered a store offering maternal and infant products. Do friends do that?"

Noticing something was wrong, Jack pursed his lips and didn't say anything. But Celine knew that he heard what she said.

'Oh, no! Is he going to see her? He'd better find someone to confirm it,' Celine thought to herself.

Smiling secretly, Celine would see if this man really loved her. If Rachel having a boyfriend not enough reason for Jack to divorce, then she wouldn't wait for him anymore.

So, she would see Jack's reaction when she asked about it a few days later.

All of a sudden, she thought of something. She felt hot.

Snuggling up to his arms, Celine slipped her hand past his throat. Teasing him with her index finger, she touched his lips and ran it down his chin.

Grabbing her hand, Jack pulled it away and said gently, "Don't be naughty."

Still, Celine continued. This time, using her other hand, she touched his cheek and slowly went down Jack's body.

Catching his breath, Jack grasped her wrist and growled, "Celine!"

His eyes were in slits, dark, and full of desire.

Though his voice was deep and strong, he was not really angry. He was trying very hard to control himself instead.

Blinking, Celine licked his Adam's apple. Then, she said enchantingly, "I want you, Jack. I won't resist you anymore. I'm ready."

Her slender hand slid all the way down to his body parts which elicited erogenous pleasure. Tiptoeing, she pressed her nose against his and saw, with satisfaction, the burning desire in his eyes.

And, that exactly what she wanted to happen.

Straightening up a bit, she invited Jack in her low sexy voice, "Jack, let's go to the bedroom."

Using his last ounce of control, Jack held Celine's shoulders and pushed her away. Staring at her face, he couldn't see any sign of hesitancy. Slightly narrowing his eyes, he asked, "Are you serious?"

"Yes, I mean it." For Jack, it had been a long time since he touched a woman.

And, he wanted to make sure that Celine also wanted this. He didn't want both of them to regret this, for he made a promise to her that he wouldn't touch her unless he got divorced.

In the room, moans could be heard. When Jack's phone rang, both of them were on the bed, half- naked.

Getting up from her, Jack reached out for his phone. But, Celine stopped him and said, "Leave it alone!"

However, Jack ignored her. Standing up, he said, "Don't be ridiculous. This is a call from my home."

There were only two people in his home, and they were Jack's parents. Hearing him, she didn't stop him anymore. With his back at her, he didn't see the change in Celine's expression.

Going out of the room, Jack answered the phone. It took him only a few minutes to finish the call, and he returned immediately.

Sitting on the bed, Celine expected him to come back. What she didn't expect was for him to leave so soon.

When she heard the sound of the door closing, she couldn't believe that Jack had really turned her down.

In the middle of their intimacy, Jack went away. Feeling her heart being stabbed, Celine felt like vomiting. Nothing could humiliate her so much than this.

How wrong of her to think that Jack would pounce on her after not having sex for such a long time! She couldn't keep a man even if she was half-naked in front of him!

'What's wrong? Am I not desirable at all? What should I do? What should I change?

Damn it! What an ass! Grrr!'

So angry, Celine picked up a pillow and threw it across the room. 'Shit! Is he a man or not?'

Wondering, she thought what happened to the Fu family that made him leave her in bed in a hurry.

The phone call was from Jonathan. There was nothing wrong with them. He only called to inform Jack that Francis had taken actions against the Wen family. The head of the family was already taken away by the Committee of Discipline Inspection. Not long after, the court issued to seal the Wen's family house.

Very well planned, Francis made all his moves quietly and fast. Unfortunately for the Wen family, Vincent was abroad and could not come home soon.

Although this had nothing to do with the Fu family, Jonathan still asked Jack to come home. He wanted to ask Jack's opinion about the matter.

Their two families were involved in some businesses, and that was all there was in their relationship. The Cheng family was also an acquaintance. Jonathan was sure that Vincent or his mother would drop

by to ask for help. Jonathan was a cunning man and decided not to interfere on this matter.

But he still had to maintain the relationships. He couldn't just ignore them.

Meanwhile, Jack was thinking the same thing. He thought it would take a while before Francis made his move. Unexpectedly, Francis couldn't wait to have his revenge against the Wen family just five days after the engagement.

The Wen family had truly come to an end this time. Even sending an adopted daughter to Francis didn't give them enough time.

Two days later

Running with a file in her hand, Rachel was grabbed by a nurse from behind. Catching her breath, the nurse said anxiously, "Dr. Shen, hurry up. The ambulance is on its way. The patient, who jumped from a building, is in grave danger."

Turning around to face the nurse, Rachel's face darkened, and she looked at her watch frowning. She asked, "Did they tell you their estimated time of arrival?"

"Yes! They will be arriving in five minutes!"

"Let's go!"

Unexpectedly, Rachel was stunned to see Wendy being brought down from the ambulance. Since Wendy was already unconscious, everyone quickly rushed to the operating room.

Changing into her surgical uniform, Rachel frowned with worry and her heart thumped wildly.

During the meeting of the Cheng Group, Francis' phone suddenly lit up. Seeing that the caller was unknown, he frowned and rejected the call without hesitation.

A few seconds later, the phone rang again. As expected, Francis hung up again. It happened three more times. The sixth time his phone rung, he thought it must really be important. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Gesturing his subordinates to stop, he stood up and walked to the window to answer the phone.

Not long, a sudden loud noise attracted everyone's attention. All looked back to see Francis' phone on the floor near his feet. He slowly bent down to pick it up and put it back on his ear.

In a hoarse voice, he asked, "What did you just say?"
