Chapter 235 Work It Out


    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 hiswyer. 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 vi and it was rted to


    Celine.


    Since Jack had already meddled in this matter, Howard had asked him toe 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 nced 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''swyer was the


    first one who walked up to him.


    "Mr. Fu," he greeted.


    Jack nodded. "Is he awake now?"


    "Yes," thewyer said. "The injured won''t push hiswsuit 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 thewsuit 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 entirewsuit.


    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 thewsuit 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 yboy, 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 thewyer.


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


    Thewyer 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 thewsuit, Baron was probably discussing to his friend


    as to what to do next. "How about Mr. Fu and Miss Duan?"


    Something flickered in thewyer''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 hade 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.


    She could restrain herself under any situation.


    Just as Howard was thinking, thewyer widened his eyes as he stared at the woman in front of


    him.


    "Mrs. Fu."


    Howard turned around and saw Rachel. It seemed that she had gotten out of the car herself.


    He had just been praising the woman''s patience and capabilities, only to see that she was there in a


    sh. Luckily, Jack and Celine were nowhere to be seen. Otherwise, the tension would have been


    unbearable if they all bumped into each other.


    Thewyer shuffled uneasily.


    "Mrs. Fu!


    Why are you here?"


    Rachel tilted her head. "I heard that something happened to him, so I came over to take a look.


    She didn''t even say Jack''s name.


    Thewyer could tell that she was in a foul mood, so he hesitated. "Well, the matter has been


    solved. Everything''s okay."


    Rachel casually nced at the two policemen exiting the ward. She crossed her arms and nodded


    as if she already knew all about it.


    "Where''s Jack?"


    There was silence. "Mr. Fu had something to attend to," he stuttered, not knowing how to answer


    her question.


    ''Why does she need to show up?''


    Thewyer finally recovered from his stuttering as he wiped the droplets of sweat from his forehead.


    "Please wait for a moment. Mr. Fu is handling something right now." He stared at her, nning to


    tell Jack of her arrival.


    If she saw Celine with himter, something bad might happen.


    However, Rachel didn''t give him the chance to tip her husband off. She asked directly, "Is he


    handling Celine''s matter? Where is he now?"


    Thewyer was stunned. He had no idea that Rachel knew about this. What the hell was he going


    to do?


    Was he going to deny it?


    He exchanged a look with Howard who shrugged helplessly.


    Rachel crossed her arms impatiently. Thewyer caught sight of a light purple purse in her hand.


    They thought that she came here to catch him cheating on her.


    Thewyer didn''t know what to do. He was awyer in charge of handling criminal cases. Divorce


    wasn''t his forte.


    Just as different thoughts passed his mind, Rachel waved the purse. "You don''t have to be so


    nervous. I just came over to return the purse, " she stated.


    Thewyer didn''t know what to say. ''What does she mean?'' Howard coughed awkwardly. "Mrs. Fu


    is supposed to be here looking for Mr. Fu. Just tell her where he is."


    Women were like a ticking time bomb. Who knew when she would explode if they didn''t tell her now.


    After thinking for a while, thewyer smiled. "Please wait for a moment. I''ll go find Mr. Fu."


    She smiled back. "I''ll join you."


    Upon seeing his eyes sh in anxiety, Rachel added, "I really didn''te here to cause any trouble.


    You don''t have to be so nervous."


    "Please follow me..."


    ''Forget it. I''m hiswyer, not his housekeeper.''


    Indeed, Jack was talking with Celine in private. As for what they were talking about, thewyer had


    absolutely no clue.


    All he knew was that when Baron had gone into the ward, Celine came over to whisper something


    in Jack''s ear.


    He left with her right after.


    Thewyer was stunned that Jack was still willing to help his ex, especially after what they''d been


    through.


    Thewyer nced at Rachel. She was wearing a straight face this entire time. Mixed feelings


    surged in his heart.


    Jack and Celine were standing very close to each other. He ced a hand into his pocket and


    leaned his body forward. A secondter, he ced his other hand on top of the woman''s shoulder.


    They were still so far away that Rachel couldn''t hear them. At the sight, she stopped walking and


    stared straight ahead.


    Thewyer kept silent. The two looked incredibly intimate.
