My Darling, My Dearest

Chapter 108

Celine looked pitiful as her cheek reddened because of Lea's three slaps. Her hair was even tousled because of the impact.

Lea was known to be a good-tempered person to her friends. However, when any of them got bullied, she couldn't afford to just watch. So, when she saw Celine slap Rachel, she immediately gave her three consecutive slaps in return. This was how she defended someone close to her.

She had even wanted to punch Celine but fortunately, she was able to realize that it was quite inappropriate in a place like this. To avoid making a scene, she controlled her anger and just stared at Celine coldly.

But Celine was really good at acting. Although she was the first to hurt Rachel, she was the one playing as a victim now.

Rachel didn't want to mess with her anymore so she just quietly wiped her hair and face. Somehow, she was thankful that what Celine threw on her was only iced water, not something harmful.

Celine kept on wailing but to her dismay, no one minded her. Eventually, she got bored of crying and just stared at Rachel sharply. She was gnashing her teeth in rage. The calmer Rachel looked, the more irritated she became.

"Bitch!" she shouted through clenched teeth as she pointed at Rachel. ■d

Seeing what Celine did, Lea trembled in anger. She was about to raise her hand for another slap but Rachel pressed it down at once. To her surprise, Rachel's other hand landed on Celine's cheek.

Another slap for Celine. But this time, it was from Rachel. The crisp sound of Rachel's slap echoed all over the coffee shop. Everyone, including Celine, was stunned. She almost couldn't believe that Rachel slapped her.

She raised her hand to touch her face, eyes glued on Rachel.

Her lips trembled and soon squeezed a venomous curse out of her throat, "Rachel! You fucking bitch!"

Celine was about to pounce on Rachel but Lea alertly stepped forward and stood in front of her. She then said coldly, "If you dare to say another word, I will personally drag you to the hospital and have your mouth stitched."

Rachel squeezed Lea's hand, signaling to her to calm down. Then she turned to look at Celine.

Although Rachel looked awful right now with wet hair, she remained amazingly calm all the time. On the other hand, Celine seemed to be on the verge of breaking down. She was so angry that she wanted to tear Rachel into pieces at the moment.

Celine was about to do something but she noticed that Lea was glaring at her. Left with no choice, she controlled her hand and stopped moving.

The only thing she could do right now was give Rachel a death stare. "Rachel! Can you even be ■d

more shameless?"

'Shameless?1 Rachel was really wondering what she could have done for Celine to hate her this much.

The only reason that she could think of was Jack.

She had been putting up with Celine ever since they had met, but trouble always happened. Celine would always come to her and create problems and inconvenience.

Wasn't it that Celine should be looking for Jack and settle their issues with him?

Celine felt a bit scared when Rachel was staring at her fiercely. She made a few steps back while looking at her warily.

Rachel chuckled, "You were so brave to beat me earlier. Why looking so nervous now?" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing Rachel's words, Celine seemed to come to her senses. Rachel made sense, she had nothing to be nervous about. So, she tried to keep her cool and was about to say something.

However, Rachel's next move was something she didn't expect. Rachel suddenly stepped forward, grabbed her right hand, and pressed it at the back of the chair. The pain was too much for her to endure so, Celine's scream reverberated around the coffee shop.

Lea, who was right next to her, was also startled. She had never expected that Rachel would be in a fit of rage.

When the other customers heard Celine's ■d

scream, they all came to see what was going on.

Rachel pressed Celine's hand harder at the back of the chair and held her tightly with the other hand so she couldn't move. Then she leaned closer to her ear and said in a low voice, "When Eric touched you, Jack almost cut off his hand. So, since you slapped me for no reason, should I also break your hand?"

Celine felt so painful that she couldn't utter a word. She had no idea what Rachel did to her hand but she could almost faint every time Rachel pressed it harder.

What Rachel said really scared her. Since she couldn't say a word, all she could do was sob. Although it was too painful, she struggled feebly to free her hand from Rachel's grip.

But no matter how much she tried, Rachel's grip was too tight. She gritted her teeth and shouted to Rachel angrily, "You bitch! You told me you had no feelings for him. But now you are clinging to him. Bitch! Bitch! You lied to me!"

Rachel didn't show any expression on her face, but she pressed Celine's hand harder. Celine cried out in pain again.

Lea was stunned at what she was seeing. 'Shit!

Is this Rachel? When has she become so aggressive?' she thought to herself.

"I lied to you?" Rachel asked coldly. "Very funny! What lie did I tell you? You're the one who always come to me and cause trouble. And now you're accusing me?

Celine, you are so shameless." ■d

Celine retorted angrily, "If you were not getting close to Jack all the time, I wouldn't have come to you!"

"Ha- ha! Seriously? You are really funny. Do I always need to inform you ahead of time before I get closer to Jack?"

Rachel curled her lips into a devilish smile. "This is my private life. And I don't think I am obligated to keep my husband's mistress updated of my daily activities."

Obviously, the word "mistress" was too much for Celine to bear. She almost jumped up and down. "You told me before..."

Before she could finish her words, Rachel interrupted her, "I don't have time to talk about the old days with you here. If you want, you can go to Jack and talk things with him. Solve your own problems with him. Don't ever come and bother me again."

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Celine shouted angrily again. Rachel put on a malicious smile and answered, "Don't you hate me getting close to Jack? Unfortunately, I think you have no chance of stopping it now."

It seemed unbelievable that Rachel could be this vicious when someone crossed her line. She was not done yet. She whispered to Celine, "Jack told me that he broke up with you. Now, you are not even a mistress. Who are you now, Celine? An exmistress? Ha-ha!

Jack won't protect you anymore. So, let me tell you again for the last time. Don't ever come to me ■d

again and cause trouble. I will always remember everything you have done to me!"

Meanwhile, someone knocked on the door to Jack's office.

"Come in," said Jack coldly.

He wave his hand, hinting the person in front of him to stop talking. Then Austin approached him hurriedly and whispered something to him. After hearing it, his facial expression slightly changed.

"I got it. I'm in a meeting now. I'll deal with it later," he said with a nod.

After Austin went out of his office, he said calmly, "Let's continue."

Although he looked so calm, any sharp-eyed person could notice that his eyebrows crooked faintly.

When the meeting was almost done, Jack suddenly stood up. He looked at his watch hurriedly and said, "You can discuss the rest of the agenda. Just call me if you need anything."

Before the others could even answer, he had already strode out of the office.

He was talking with someone on the phone.

"What happened?"

"Where?"

"I see. Don't go anywhere. I'll be right there."

"Mr. Fu..." The receptionist was about to greet Jack but before she could even finish her sentence, a gust of wind swept past in front of her. Then she just saw his back. ■d

'Why is he in such a hurry?1 she thought.

Celine had ruined the happy moment of Rachel and Lea. Still wet from hair to chest, Rachel couldn't contain her anger anymore. After all, the mark left by Celine's hand was still visible on her face. Lea was so angry too. She wanted to slap Celine in the face nonstop.

"How dare this woman bully you! I have met a lot of arrogant people but this is my first time to meet such an arrogant mistress. I won't let this bitch go so easily," Lea said angrily.

Rachel touched her red cheek. Luckily, Celine's slap wasn't very strong. Her face was a bit swollen but it wasn't very serious.

Actually, it was Celine who was in a more difficult situation. The slaps Lea gave her a while ago were more powerful. Besides, Rachel had almost broken her hand.

One could say that Celine was much more wretched than Rachel. If not for the people in the coffee shop who came to mediate, the fight wouldn't have ended. It was also a good thing that Rachel hadn't lose all her sanity. At least, she still took her and Lea's reputation into account.

But this had to end. She didn't want to be disturbed again and again. Whatever was going on between her and Jack, Celine had definitely nothing to do with it.

As she thought about it, Rachel's beautiful eyes narrowed. She then said to Lea, "I won't let this go easily as well. If I don't get back, she will continue to think that I am someone very easy to bully." ■d

Lea burst into laughter. She was glad that Rachel had finally learned to fight back. She gave her a thumbs up and said, "Rachel, you are so cool! So murderous! Anyway, she's just a third wheel. You should not go easy on her. She needs to learn a lesson as soon as possible."

Hearing those words from Lea, Rachel suddenly detested both Jack and Celine. All the good impressions she had for him vanished. Apparently, Celine's drama had ruined everything.

"Jack told me that he already broke up with her.

I don't know what really happened between them, but she only deserved it," she said after contemplating for a while.

"What do you want to do with her?" Lea knew that Rachel had already formed a plan in her head so she was a little excited and curious.

Rachel curled her lips into a faint smile. She knew that it was useless to find Jack. If he could really control Celine from the start, she wouldn't have caused trouble to Rachel again and again.

Anyway, Rachel had already tolerated her for so many times. But she had gone overboard this time. Since she had thrown iced water at her today, it wasn't impossible that next time could be something harmful.

Maybe Jack had tolerated Celine for many times, which was why she became more confident in bullying Rachel. He had to be blamed too.

Rachel opened her phone and slowly browsed on her contact list. When she found the number, she immediately pressed the call button. Lea was curious who she was calling.

After a few rings, the call got connected. Rachel said sweetly, "Dad!"
