Chapter 86 To Stir Up Trouble

Without the experience of taking care of children, Jack didn't intend to look after Mendes, so he just said, "I'll tell you when he wakes up."

"Sorry to trouble you. I'm leaving now," Rachel said.

With a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, he said, "You're welcome."

It was the busiest morning since she had first moved into the house. The house was full of vitality, not as cold as usual.

When she reached the door, Rachel looked back at the house.

More than ten years ago, she had a lively and warm family. It was the sort of house in which her mom would wake her up every morning, cozy and loving.

She had a father who had always spoiled her. At that time, she had not been as cold and aloof as she was now.

Rachel couldn't clearly recall the details of her past.

Time went by quickly. In the blink of an eye, the anniversary of her parents' death would be very soon.

No one knew that the grief of losing both her parents had lingered in her heart for so many years and had never faded.

Now, the warmth and happiness she had experienced in her family were a distant memory.

Since Jonathan left Rachel's place, Jack also moved out and didn't stay there anymore.

Rachel breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. With Jack elsewhere, she didn't have to stay under the same roof with him. This helped her avoid some discomfort and embarrassment.

She described her situation to Lea as being like a pit she couldn't climb up from.

Now sh

iful women next to him. His smile was not lessened, but a trace of doubt appeared in his expression.

With astonishment in his eyes, Rick Ying asked, "May I know names of these two beauties?"

"Rachel Shen."

"Lea Ye."

With a gleam in his eyes, Rick Ying led the three inside the house. To make friendly banter, he said, "Dr. Zhou, you are so lucky to have two beautiful women at your side."

His tone of ridicule was not irritating. Lucas curled his lips and replied half-jokingly, "It's normal to bring just one beauty. Having two of them is better for impressing the crowd."

His words made the other three laugh all together. Rachel thought to herself, 'Rick is a very sociable man.'

Then Rick Ying led them around the banquet hall and made brief introductions to the other guests.

The banquet was hosted in the villa of the Ying family. There was a sad story attached to this villa.

Rick Ying's father had a serious illness when he was in his middle age. Because of that illness, Rick Ying and Claris Ying travelled overseas with him in their childhood, leaving the company in charge of their uncle.

A few years after his father died, the company slowly crumbled as a result of the uncle's mismanagement.

The company suffered a severe loss. So Rick Ying came back and brought the company back under control. He bought sixty percent of the company's shares, and the board of directors made him the new president of the Hawk Pharmaceutical Company.
