Chapter 74 Properties Division

"Really? Rachel is only in her twenties. She can't get married so early, can she?"

They chatted casually as they walked. Cara found it strange and felt that it was not a normal case. "Rachel had been hospitalized after the abduction, but Mr. Fu only visited her once.

I don't think they are a couple." None of the other members of the Fu family or anyone from Rachel's family had ever visited her.

Besides, the hospital director informed the chairman of Rachel's situation, and the chairman gave Rachel a few days of leave. Normally, the chairman should've informed her family.

Cara thought that the director should know something about Rachel's family. The chairman asked his men to stop the news from spreading in the hospital and give Rachel a holiday.

Cara believed that the chairman did this to protect Rachel from gossiping.

After Cara said Rachel had something to do with the Fu family,

they began to talk about her. Some of them suspected that Rachel was an illegitimate child of the Fu family, and some thought that she might be a relative of the Fu family.

Cara immediately interrupted them before they could say any offensive words. She loudly cleared her throat to give them the signal. "Whatever you're talking about, talk about it in private. Don't talk about nonsense and rumors in the hospital."

Everyone nodded and stayed silent. "Rachel is a good girl and a respected doctor. Whatever her family background is, it is none of our business. Talk about it privately and discreetly, but never talk nonsense with her. If she finds out what you're talking about her behind her back, she'd likely have less respect for all of you."

"Yes, we understand. We were just goo

ught.

"Okay. Good. Please wait here for a while." Noah Zhuo stood up and went out of the room with the agreement. Rachel and Jack sat quietly and waited for him. Different thoughts ran in their minds.

Noah Zhuo came back after a short while and sat down with them once more. "I have spoken with Mr. Jonathan Fu just now," he began. "He said that you could sign the agreement now if you want. But the agreement will only take effect in a year."

"That wouldn't be a problem," Rachel replied immediately without hesitation.

On the other hand, Jack stared at the document, and rubbed them with his long fingers. "I'll sign it now, if it's all the same to you," he said soon after.

After they both signed the document, they both had a feeling of relief. It gave them a strange sensation that a heavy burden that they carried for a long time was taken off from their shoulders. It was a sensation that felt vivid to Jack.

The realization that it was all over made Rachel feel relieved as well.

Jack had to maintain an act in front of his family. He couldn't shake the feeling that his father came up with a sophisticated scheme to get what he wanted from him.

"Let's go," Jack said as he picked up the keys on the table.

"Okay," Rachel replied simply.

There might be calmness in her voice but in her mind, she wondered if Lucas was in her place. She knew that it was not a good idea to call Lea in front of Jack so she quickly texted her as they walked back to the car.

She waited impatiently when there was no response to her text message even after they'd been outside the law firm for a while.

Rachel felt anxious

as she wondered what was possibly wrong with Lea and Mendes.
