Successive shrieks reverberated through the police station.
Rachel didn't meddle. Her cold eyes watched as Jack hit Baron's face with his fist.
The two policemen were stunned for a moment. When they came back to their senses, they hastily walked forward and pulled the two men apart.
"Stop! Stop it!" someone shouted.
Rachel didn't give a damn about what was happening. Her eyes were fixed on Jack.
While the policemen pulled Jack and Baron away from each other,
Rachel turned her gaze to Celine who had been standing on one side.
Celine raised her chin and smiled complacently.
It seemed that she had been waiting for Rachel to look at her, so she could show her victory. But to her dismay, Rachel didn't show any interest at all. She just turned her eyes away indifferently.
Apparently, no matter what she did, she was always nothing to Rachel.
Rachel had never given Celine importance in her life, not even as an opponent. In her heart, Celine didn't deserve any of her attention.
But for Celine, it was the opposite. Every time she had a face to face encounter with Rachel, she felt like facing a bright mirror.
No matter how well she disguised herself, she was always exposed in front of Rachel.
This reality made her feel embarrassed.
After a while, Jack and Baron were finally pulled away from each other by the policemen.
Rachel stood still and stared at Jack.
She had never seen him this so impetuous and angry before.
Wait! Maybe she had.
That was when she broke into the bar to save Eric from Jack.
Jack had also acted the same at that time.
At this moment, Rachel came to understand what she was missing.
When Jack and she were together, they were just like an ordinary couple.
They were sweet and warm, but most of the time, they got along with each other like flat water.
Rachel had witnessed all the changes in Jack since they had been together.
Now, he wasn't as wild and active as he used to be, which made them more suitable for each other.
Rachel had thought about it many times. She wasn't sure if he had changed for himself or he did it to please and suit her.
Either way, she was happy to see the changes in him.
But what she saw right now seemed to be different.
Rachel's brain seemed to be working at full speed.
After sorting everything out, she found herself pitiful.
She recalled every word that Jack had said to her.
She was trying to find something that would confirm why he had to do this now.
She tried to make excuses for him, but she couldn't even trust her own words.
Jack told her that he broke up with Celine because there was really no love between them. Rachel believed in him, and she thought that he would never look back to Celine. However, facing this situation right now, she felt really aggrieved.
If he didn't love Celine, why did he care so much about her?
At this moment, Rachel felt a sense of envy towards Celine.
Perhaps Jack and Celine had really loved each other so much before. It was a kind of love that she and Jack could never have. Maybe he would also help her in times of trouble, but he would never love her like the way he did to Celine.
A few moments later, Jack's lawyer arrived.
Celine had to stay because she needed to give some statements to the lawyer.
Rachel wondered if Jack also wanted to stay, but she didn't care anymore. She had better leave. She shouldn't have come here in the first place. What she had witnessed only made her sad.
But when she was about to leave, Jack came to her and whispered, "The car is outside."
He averted his gaze because he couldn't look into Rachel's eyes.
His lips moved as if he wanted to say something more, but eventually, he kept quiet. Rachel just nodded lightly and said, "I'll go now." She then turned around and left. Jack wanted to stop her, but he couldn't.
He knew what he had just done. There was nothing he could say to justify his actions this time.
Left with no choice, all he could do was watch Rachel leave.
The driver saw Rachel coming, so he quickly got out and opened the door for her at the back.
Rachel was expressionless, but her aura sent chills to the driver's spine for no reason.
After making sure that Rachel had already seated suitably, the driver closed the door and went back to the driver's seat.
