My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 223

Baron didn't notice the man's disdain.

Some of the guests didn't know what had just happened in the garden. Howard returned to the banquet hall as if nothing had happened.

But he still couldn't help feeling worried. He didn't want the banquet to turn into a mess, so he tried to comfort everyone inside.

Fortunately, the man who got injured was not invited by him. He didn't know who had brought the man here.

Howard didn't worry about the man. After all, he had already sent some people to follow him. He would know if something happened.

What he was trying to do was not to make things worse here.

His stepson was here. If he left, his stepson might cause trouble.

Howard had just called Andy to ask him about the situation.

Apparently, Andy didn't want to talk to him. But still, Howard expressed his concern for Bill.

Andy didn't tell him much about what really happened to Bill. He just said indifferently, "He's been treated, so he's okay now."

Howard replied to him in a low voice, "I still need to deal with some troubles here. I'll come to see him later."

Andy snorted sarcastically upon hearing what he said.

Afraid that Andy would misunderstand him, Howard quickly explained, "Mrs. Fu is also there, right? It's her husband who is in trouble. He is in the police station now, so I need to go there first."

Howard was just trying to coax Andy, but he didn't know that Andy immediately returned to the ward upon hearing what he said.

Andy started to care for Rachel since she had saved Bill.

Knowing that Jack was in trouble, Andy couldn't help worrying about Rachel. He thought that since something bad happened to her husband, she deserved to know it.

Howard's purpose in telling Andy about what happened to Jack was to have a valid reason for not coming to the hospital immediately. He didn't expect that Andy would let Rachel know.

When Rachel heard that Jack was in trouble, she was very anxious. She asked Andy the details, but he couldn't answer her questions. Since she couldn't remain settled, she borrowed Andy's phone and called Howard. She did her best to sound calm on the phone. "Mr. Wu, it's me, Rachel."

In the police station, Jack was waiting outside while Celine was taken to the interrogation room.

The interrogation room door was closed, so no one knew what was going on inside.

While waiting, Jack thought of what happened earlier. He was still in doubt about why Celine would be in a dark garden with a man.

Anyone would possibly think of something.

From what happened in the villa earlier, everyone thought that Celine was forced by the man, and she hurt him to defend herself.

But Celine used a knife that was from the dining room. If she wasn't prepared for it ahead of time, how could she bring a knife from the dining table to the garden?

Jack came to a realization when this question popped up in his mind.

If Celine brought the knife with her intentionally, it only proved that she really had the purpose of hurting the man. Perhaps she had already anticipated what would happen, so she came prepared.

What was the relationship between Celine and that man? Why did she have to see him in the dark and brought a knife with her?

These thoughts gave Jack a headache, so he decided not to rack his brains for answers anymore. Anyway, the police would figure it out after their investigation.

Chief Ren was working overtime that day.

When he heard that a big man was taken to the police station, he personally came to check on him.

He also knew that the Fu family had a good relationship with the government, so he decided to help Jack.

Jack briefly explained to him what happened.

After hearing Jack's story, Chief Ren thought for a while. Although he didn't know Celine, she must be someone important to Jack, or else he would not accompany her here in the police station. Could she be his mistress? After all, he had seen Jack's wife before.

If that was the case, he needed to do something for them.

Chief Ren hesitated for a while and said, "Mr. Fu, please stay here. I'll go and ask the result of the interrogation."
