My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 4

Interceding with Jack seemed impossible. Rachel looked at Celine instead.

Celine was the woman that Jack had been wooing so many years.-

Rachel wasn't an expert in reading people. But she now realized that Celine was just one of those white-collared workers with a pretty face. Whatever was going on between Jack and Celine, Rachel did not have any interest to know. However, she didn't expect Eric to get involved.

But Rachel couldn't understand why Celine acted as if it had nothing to do with her. Everything that was happening today was because of her, wasn't it?

"What happened today, Miss Duan, is definitely Eric's fault. He knows he was wrong. I hope you can forgive him."

This time, Rachel was placing her hope on Celine to persuade Jack to let Eric go.

Unfortunately, Celine simply ignored her. She stood up, looked down at Jack, and impatiently said, "Leave me alone with my business, Jack. Isn't he your wife's cousin? I don't think you are going to punish him. You are just acting."

Then, Celine turned and walked towards the

door.

The cigarette between Jack's fingers dropped to the floor. As he stared at Celine's back, he barked, "Cut his hands off!"

With eyes wide open, Rachel quickly made her way to Eric.

Hearing the order, two of Jack's men restrained Eric by holding him on his shoulders. The other one was moving towards the knife. His hands pressed on a chair, Eric was on his knees and trembling with fear.

Eric couldn't move, and he called Rachel for

help.

Before the bodyguard could pick the knife up, Rachel grabbed a wine bottle on the table and smashed it against one of Eric's hands.

Crash! The bottom of the bottle hit the corner of the table and broke.

Eric couldn't believe what Rachel did and just stared at her. His hand now turned swollen.

All the people around were shocked by this unexpected situation. Celine also stopped and turned around.

In dilemma, the bodyguard stopped from picking up the knife. He, then, looked at Jack for further instructions.

However, Jack wasn't looking anywhere. With eyes as dark as ink, he stared at the glass of wine in his hand, swirling it slowly, and showing everyone that he was enjoying the drama unfolding in front of him.

"Miss Duan, please forgive him for offending you," Rachel said with the broken bottle in her hand.

Celine just lifted her eyebrows and sneered at Rachel. Then, she continued to walk towards the door.
