My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 235

Ron could put Celine in prison if he decided to sue her.

Honestly, Jack didn't know what the man had to do with Celine and her new boyfriend.

He had intended to hand over the entire matter to his lawyer. The only reason he came over today was because Howard had asked him to.

Howard had implied on the phone that this matter had happened in his villa and it was related to Celine.

Since Jack had already meddled in this matter, Howard had asked him to come and solve the problem despite the fact that Jack and Celine had broken up.

Howard had already informed him of the situation at hand. He knew for a fact that Baron was not able to solve it properly because of his bad temper.

Baron was incredibly impulsive. He could do a lot of things without thinking them through. When Howard knew that Celine was the woman he brought that night, he decided to ask Jack for help.

Given the mess they had gotten themselves into, Howard had no other choice but to ask Jack to come over to stabilize the situation at hand. After all, Celine used to be Jack's mistress.

If the problem was not solved properly, Howard would also be affected.

The ward was buzzing with people when Jack had arrived.

When Celine saw Jack,

her eyes lit up, but after considering the man next to her, she restrained herself.

When Baron spotted Jack from the crowd, his face darkened. He glanced at Celine who was sitting next to him. She didn't react to the man's presence, which made him feel a lot better.

Howard was talking to the police and didn't notice that Jack was approaching. Jack's lawyer was the first one who walked up to him.

"Mr. Fu," he greeted.

Jack nodded. "Is he awake now?"

"Yes," the lawyer said. "The injured won't push his lawsuit against Miss Duan."

Ever since the victim woke up, his mind wasn't its best. The police only got to ask a few questions, but the man refused to go on the record due to his unconsciousness.

However, in his words, he didn't want to take advantage of this matter to bring trouble to Celine. Although he didn't make it clear as to what really happened, his perspective on the lawsuit was as transparent as day.

Besides, he had already confessed that the only reason he got stabbed was because of his drunkenness.

Coincidentally, the person who Celine had stabbed had close ties with Baron. Actually, the reason he got to enter the banquet itself was because of him.

He didn't really mean any trouble.

Baron had already put a stop to the entire lawsuit.

Celine had been restless the entire night. Her shoulders sagged in relief when Baron promised her that it would all be over.

It wasn't because she trusted Baron, but it was because she knew for a fact that his pride wouldn't allow it if the lawsuit pushed through.

As long as she was connected to Baron, he would do everything in his power to protect her in order to preserve the dignity in his name.

Celine couldn't help but smile mockingly. It had absolutely nothing to do with love, but she had always felt safer with Baron than she was with Jack.

Baron wouldn't allow anyone to trample on his woman, because that was the equivalent on letting someone trample on him.

He might act as a playboy, but whenever he was with her, he always acted as if she was the only woman in sight.

If Celine was sad, he would go out of his way to make her happy. However, what Baron expected from her was her utmost loyalty towards him.

It seemed that the conflict he had mulled over wasn't that difficult to solve. Howard was relieved. When he turned around, he found that several important figures were nowhere to be seen.

The two policemen were busy chatting with the lawyer.

"Mr. Zhang," Howard started. "Where are they?"

The lawyer motioned to the door. "Mr. Hu is inside. They're trying to learn more about his friend's case."

It was said that ever since the patient woke up, he had been disoriented the entire time. He probably wasn't used to seeing different faces all at once, so they decided to let Baron talk to him alone.

They all understood what that meant.

Since the man refused to go through with the lawsuit, Baron was probably discussing to his friend as to what to do next. "How about Mr. Fu and Miss Duan?"

Something flickered in the lawyer's eyes. He didn't answer Howard's question directly. "Mr. Fu had something to deal with."

However, he didn't say anything more about Celine's whereabouts.

Thinking about the two, Howard hesitated to call Rachel.

They had no idea that Rachel had come with Howard. In fact, she was already waiting by the car downstairs.

He was surprised that the woman could stay so cool-headed throughout the entire car ride. She was different from all the youngsters he had seen around her age.
