'Huh?' Rachel was stunned to hear that. "Miss Duan, your accusation is really too much. What did I do wrong?"
Furious, Celine stepped forward and said to Rachel in a low voice, "Jack doesn't love you at all. Why do you have to pester him?"
Hearing this, Rachel couldn't help but laugh. She stepped back, staying away from the unpleasant perfume on Celine. Then she retorted, "Miss Duan, what position are you in, to say this to me?"
Celine was unable to make a comeback. Her face turned red, and she was dumbstruck by Rachel's retort. No matter how hard she tried, Rachel's status as Jack's wife was a trump card that Celine couldn't beat.
She could only emphasize to Rachel that she was the one who Jack loved, but so what? Rachel didn't care who Jack loved. Celine could do nothing to hurt her.
Celine's words meant nothing to Rachel.
Celine became so angry that her face changed dramatically. She stood in Rachel's way, blocking her from leaving. She stared fiercely at Rachel, trying to frighten her with her meticulously painted eyes. But when she opened her mouth, she became less aggressive. "Ms. Shen, I beg you. I love Jack. Please divorce him. Anyways..."
Rachel brushed her hand aside before Celine could say anything more. Celine's arm was frozen in the air with her fingers outstretched.
"Miss Duan, please don't bug me again. Solve your problems with Jack by yours
I assumed she would look ugly. I didn't expect her to be such a beautiful woman."
"They look like a perfect match. The wife is still the wife, after all. Of course Jack wouldn't bring a nobody with him on this occasion."
While speaking, they glanced at Celine, who was obviously humiliated and angry. Celine pretended that she couldn't hear them, but her fists tightened at they hung at her side.
The girl next to Celine burst into laughter and said, "Miss Duan, why are you here alone?"
She took a step forward and taunted her, "Mr. Fu is over there. Is he going to come back to see you later?"
Celine turned around and left. Those who remained in the room continued eating and laughing, making no secret of their scorn.
Their cruelty was not merely for its own sake. Some of them had been jealous of her in the past, and others looked down upon Celine.
They gossiped that Celine once worked as a hotel waitress before getting involved with Jack. In private, they often mocked Celine for this.
Then, Jack's unscrupulous attachment to her made many of them jealous, and they sneered at her in private.
Seeing that Celine's position had been turned upside down, people were quite delighted and wanted to deal her a bit of mockery. They didn't care who Jack was with, but they just couldn't bear to see Celine putting on airs in front of them, flaunting her superior position.
