My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 391

Rachel and Linda were taken to Chief Ren's office, where the chief took pains to see to their comfort by serving them coffee and ensuring that the air conditioning was at the optimal temperature. Then, he said that he was going to see Eric and left the office.

Linda stood up and walked around with the coffee cup in her hand. She raised an eyebrow and said to Rachel, "Your boyfriend is really awesome. He even managed to frighten them."

Rachel smiled in response and said nothing.

She sat back down on the sofa and continued, "Eric told me some time ago that you two are getting married again. Is that true? I think you'd better hurry up and get married as soon as possible so you could feel at ease."

"At ease?" Rachel asked with a frown on her face, not understanding what her aunt meant.

Linda choked in disbelief and anger and resentfully remarked, "How hard is it for you to understand? With Jack's status, there must be hordes of women who want to take your place beside him and are willing to seduce him away from you. So you must marry him as soon as possible." She rolled her eyes and tapped her chin with a finger. "As your aunt, I think that I should pay Jack's parents a visit as soon as possible."

Rachel knew that her aunt was already imagining what she would say to Jack's parents and what requests she would make when they met, so she quickly interrupted, "Aunt Linda, we don't need to think about it until after Eric's problem has been resolved, okay?"

Linda's hand on her shoulder gradually slid down, and her bright eyes dimmed slightly. She pursed her lips and asked, "Why hasn't Eric come out yet? Is this matter really that difficult to solve?"

As soon as she finished her frustrated words, they heard the sound of footsteps approaching. Eric walked in and sat down on the sofa. He stretched his legs and huffed with his lips

curled. "Today is really a bad day for me. You

wouldn't believe what a group of psychos I met."

Rachel handed her cup of coffee to him and asked, "What happened?"

She checked the room earlier and saw an

unconscious man, and she couldn't clearly

understand what the others were saying.

Eric leaned back, his teeth gnashing in anger, and said fiercely, "I couldn't have fought with them, but someone kicked me in the belly. I couldn't stand it anymore. Who would have thought that the man doesn't really fight? I didn't even use my full strength, but he fainted just like that. What a bastard!" Eric was a chatterbox, so it was difficult for him to close his mouth. He continued to talk about the unreasonable mess caused by those people that time, and Rachel just listened him quietly. If she did not see them with her own eyes, she would never have believed that someone could do such a shameless thing.

The three of them sat in silence for a while. Then, they said goodbye to Chief Ren and left the police station.

Rachel contacted Jack, who had just come from the hospital. They agreed to just see each other at home shortly.

At home, Jack's phone rang as he was pouring himself a cup of tea. At the other end of the phone, Austin said in a dispirited voice, "Mr. Fu, the negotiation failed."

"It's okay." He rubbed the furrow between his eyebrows. He had been in charge of this matter all along, whereas Austin only knew the rudiments of it. It must have been difficult for him to handle the whole meeting.

Jack was not the sort of boss who placed the blame on his employees.

Austin sighed softly and added, "They did agree to give us another chance, Mr. Fu. I tried convincing them with all that I had."

"Good job, Austin." Hearing the sound of door opening, Jack disconnected the call with a smile on his lips. He turned toward the door to see Rachel push the door open and walk in.

He looked behind her, expecting other people. "Where are Eric and his mom?"

"They went home. Aunt said she has a

headache. I don't know why." Rachel took off her high heels and pinched her sore ankles.

Jack narrowed his eyes slightly. At this point, he had become a little too worried about the word "headache." In the past, Tracy had watched too many soap operas in which the heroine

recovered her memory after a headache.

Although he knew that dramas and real life were different, he had become a little nervous.

Rachel watched Jack curiously. "You went to the hospital. What did they say?"

"They won't be pressing charges," replied Jack with a smile.

Owing to Jack's poker face and their own guilty consciences, the folks at the hospital decided to evict him from the ward.

He simply stood there and let them usher him out, but he already kept an eye on the proceedings when he came and asked Celia to take a photo of the scene using her phone.

Afterward, he said to Celia with a blank expression, "Call the police for me."

"What?" Celia was confused. The group of people were so frightened that the man in black jumped out and said, "Now, look here, this is a private place. You should get out!"

Jack kept silent. He didn't want to waste his time on such an unreasonable group of people.
