Chapter 375 Fall Out With Her Parents


    While Marcus and Jack were talking at the door, Rachel came to check why thetter hadn''t returned to


    the living room yet. She was a little surprised to see Marcus, but Jack held her arm and said, "Since


    Marcus is here, we''d better get going. It''s time to go back to work."


    She noticed the confusion in Marcus'' eyes, so she smiled and said, "We just dropped by to visit Celia.


    She''s asleep now."


    "Okay."


    Marcus nodded slightly and watched them leave. His handsome face suddenly frowned as a sense of


    uneasiness surged in his heart.


    Jack and Rachel arrived at the hospital. When he parked the car at the gate, he said in a low voice,


    "Austin just sent a message."


    While unfastening her seat belt, she asked, "What did he say?"


    "Bertha is in the hospital now because of some bruises on her forehead. I don''t think it''s a big problem."


    Rachel heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing the news. But before she could start to feel happy, Jack


    continued, "But ording to Austin, Dn was very angry for what happened. He lost his temper in the


    hospital and swore to take Celia back and teach her a lesson."


    Dn was an egotistical male chauvinist. Putting aside his rtionship with Bertha, Celia had


    challenged his authority as the head of the family by refusing a blind date.


    And now that she hurt Bertha, who he believed had contributed a lot to their family, it was expected that


    he wouldn''t let go of her that easy.


    Feeling distraught, Rachel looked up at Jack and asked, "What should we do?"All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Jack patted her head and replied in a gentle tone, "Don''t worry, I''ll deal with it. You don''t need to do


    anything, but think more about me."


    ''This man...''


    She was rendered speechless as she nced at him. But the feeling of sweetness still wrapped her


    heart.


    He watched her get out of the car and enter the hospital. When she was gone, he picked up his phone


    and called Austin. He said coldly, "Warn Dn. If he continues to mess around, he will never be able to


    stay in the city anymore. Just give him a verbal warning for now. Don''t beat him."


    "Yes, Mr. Fu,"


    Austin''s deep voice was heard from the other end of the line before he hung up.


    Jack started the car again and drove to thepany. But he was just about one kilometer away from


    the hospital when his phone, which he threw at the passenger seat, rang again.


    He maneuvered the steering wheel with one hand and picked up his phone with the other. While driving


    slowly, he answered it, "Yes?"


    Marcus answered in a low voice, "Is it okay if you transfer some money to my ount now? All my


    bank ounts and credit cards were frozen."


    Jack hit the brakes, ignoring the honk of the car behind him.


    "What happened?" he then asked.


    With brows drawn together tightly, he moved the phone to his other hand. He couldn''t help wondering


    what happened between Marcus and Larry during these two days. Everything seemed fine when they


    hadst seen each other.


    Only Larry would dare to freeze his bank ounts.


    Marcus was silent for a few seconds before he spoke up again. "It''s a long story. I''ll take Celia to your


    office now, and we''ll tell you the details. We''ll be there in about half an hour."


    Jack was afraid that things had gotten far moreplicated than he had expected.


    When Rachel entered the hospital, she immediately got extremely busy. This was normal at every end


    of the year. People were not only busy in going shopping, but also visiting the hospital. Since they had


    a lot of social engagements, they thought it was necessary to see a doctor.


    When she finished with thest patient, she went back to her office. She took a deep breath, thinking


    that finally, she could have a good rest. But all of a sudden, her office door was pushed open from the


    outside.


    As soon as Jack got in, he grabbed her arm and said, "Ask for a leave and go out with me now."


    In Jack''s office, Marcus and Celia were already sitting on the sofa, waiting. There were two suitcases in


    front of them. From the looks of it, they were running away from home.


    Indeed, they were leaving.


    When Jack and Rachel arrived, they were both stunned to see them with the suitcases. But before they


    could react, Jack asked in a low voice, "What happened?"


    Marcus replied with a sigh, "We are nning to go abroad for a while."


    Frowning, Rachel was the next to ask, "Why so sudden?"


    Celia pressed her lips tightly and turned to look at Marcus. She seemed to be too shy to speak up.


    The atmosphere around them froze for a few minutes. Marcus put his arm around Celia''s shoulder and


    said in a low voice, "I just made it clear to my father that he shouldn''t interfere with our rtionship."


    His words were in and simple, but they sounded more tortuous at this time.


    When Jack and Rachel left Celia''s apartment this morning, Marcus entered her bedroom. Thinking that


    she was still sleeping, he didn''t disturb her. Instead, he put the breakfast he brought for her in the


    kitchen and sat in the living room to reply to somepany emails with his mobile phone.


    But Celia wasn''t sleeping at that time. She justy in the bed with eyes closed to rest, forcing herself


    not to think about the mess Bertha had created. Since she thought that it was still Rachel who was


    sitting in the living room, she didn''t mind.


    She sat up and leaned against the headboard, bit her lower lip, and said, "Rachel, the man that she


    arranged to have a blind date with me is a wealthy man. But he is also veryme. I was so scared


    earlier, so..."


    Suddenly, a voice reverberated in the air. "Blind date?"


    Celia''s mind went nk as she saw Marcus already standing at the bedroom door. Looking at his fierce


    eyes, she couldn''t help shivering. His stare gave her goose bumps.


    Mouth agape, she asked, "When did you arrive?"


    Marcus frowned and asked again with a gloomy face, "What blind date are you talking about?"


    Celia wanted to hit herself with a hammer for being so careless. But since she had already spat it out, it


    was impossible to avoid it anymore. She told him exactly what happened when Bertha came earlier.


    She didn''t see anything unusual on Marcus'' expression. He just gently tucked her in and bade


    goodbye. He said he had something urgent to deal with at thepany.


    But the truth was, he drove back to the Ji family house and rushed to the study.


    Larry''s face darkened upon seeing him banged the door. "Where are the manners I have taught you


    since you were a child? Don''t you know how to knock first?"


    Marcus gave him a sharp re and asked coldly, "Dad, was it you who asked Celia''s parents to


    arrange a blind date for her? Why can''t you just stop meddling with our rtionship?"


    Larry crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back slightly. He then asked expressionlessly, "What


    made you think I was the one who did it?"


    "Who else, Dad?"


    "Bastard!"


    Larry pounded the desk and red at him. "How dare you talk to me that way! We''ve already told you


    many times that she doesn''t deserve you. Even if I was the one who did it, you must understand why.


    You are my son. You have enjoyed the life we''ve made for you ever since you were a child. Now that


    you are old enough to get married, you must choose a woman that we like."


    Marcus was infuriated by his father''s words. He turned around and walked towards the door. But before


    he left, he said, "Well, since you don''t like Celia, I''ll take her out of your sight."


    "Marcus!"


    His mother, who had been eavesdropping at the door, rushed to him as soon as she heard his words.


    She grabbed his arm and said, "What are you going to do? Where are you going? Do you still even


    care about this family and your parents? There are so many beautiful women in the world. If you don''t


    like Eden, we can find someone else for you. Listen to me. Right now, you think that she is the one for


    you. But believe me, that''s only temporary. No one deserves you but a woman who has the same


    social status as ours."


    Whileforting him, his mother also turned and red at Larry.


    She was so anxious that she could already stamp her feet as she scolded him, "Larry, why are you so


    harsh? We have agreed that we would take it slow, haven''t we? You know that Marcus is still young.


    He is in a rebellious stage right now. The more we oppose him, the more he will insist. Can''t you


    understand that? Why are you so stubborn?"


    The rest of the story was self-exnatory.


    Jack pinched his be and asked, "Have you decided where to go?"


    Marcus replied in a deep voice, "We will go to France. I have two friends there that we can visit. Please


    take care of thepany for me."


    Jack patted him on the shoulder. "Don''t worry about that."


    He then took out a bank card from his wallet and handed it to Marcus. "The money in this card should


    be enough for the two of you to live for some time. The pin code is 870925. If it is not enough, just give


    me a call."


    "Thank you, buddy." Marcus lowered his head to hide the redness in his eyes.


    Rachel, who was silently watching the two men, couldn''t help feeling sad. She took a deep breath and


    said to Celia, "I''m d that you are finally together. But you must contact us as soon as you arrive in


    France, okay? Don''t push yourself too hard."


    She believed that the couple made the right choice. If they continued to stay in Ninwell City, they


    wouldn''t be able to live a good life because of the pressure from both of their families.


    Perhaps if they moved away, their families would gradually ept them as time passed.


    The same thing had happened to Lucas and Iris.


    For a moment, Jack''s office filled with sadness.


    After talking with each other for a while, Rachel and Jack drove the couple to the airport.


    At the airport, Jack saw Rachel''s eyes turn red. He couldn''t help holding her hands tightly and


    chuckled, "If you worry about them, I will take you to France to see them after I finish my work, okay?"


    "Okay," Rachel replied at once.


    She then red at Marcus, pretending to be fierce and warned, "You must treat her well. If I find out


    that you are not good to her, I will take Jack to France right away to beat you up."


    "Yes, I agree with Rachel." Jack wanted to say more, but he was interrupted by the sudden ringing of


    his phone.


    Since it was Austin calling, it probably had something to do with Dn.


    He took the phone to the side and asked in a low voice, "Is everything done?"
