"Is he here too?" asked Lucas. He seemed surprised from the look on his face.
Neither he nor Rachel noticed that Claris was gnashing her teeth.
'How dare they flirt with each other in front of me! Do they have no respect for me at all? What are they thinking acting so lovey-dovey in front of me?
This bitch!' Claris was so angry that she let go of Lucas' hand.
She stay behind them and listened to every word they said with contempt.
The two of them were so indulged in their conversation that they didn't notice Claris' expression.
Ever since they got here, Lucas barely paid attention to her. He was so focused on Rachel that he might've forgotten that Claris was there too.
What irritated Claris all the more was the way Lucas talked to Rachel. His voice sounded so gentle. It was completely different from the way he used to treat her, cold and distant.
The mixed feelings of envy and grief welled up in Claris' heart. She couldn't believe how angry and helpless she felt right now.
Lucas' eyes were covered with a layer of shadow. He pressed his perfectly-shaped lips together and said in a soft voice, "You wait here, and I'll go over there and take a look."
When she heard what Lucas said, Claris said, "I'll go with you!"
Lucas frowned and looked at her. "There's nothing for you to do there. You can wait here."
Claris bit her lower lip and her eyes turned red. She felt so betrayed and wronged that she was driven to tears.
Lucas saw that she was crying, and couldn't stand seeing her like this. He sighed and said in a soft voice, "You should wait here. I just need to do something, alright?"
Claris pursed
t Claris, trying to recall what happened earlier. She remembered how Claris tried to be close to Lucas; and now that she thought about it, she remembered she heard her voice before. It was the same voice she heard on the phone when she called Lucas.
Then she realized that this girl might be Lucas' girlfriend.
Rachel didn't know what made Claris misunderstand her relationship with Lucas. "Lucas and I have grown up together. We..."
However, Claris interrupted her again. "I said don't get close to him! You're already married! I know Lucas is a good person, but stop taking advantage of his kindness and mind your manners!"
Rachel wanted to interrupt her, but Claris kept bombarding her with so many things.
"Your husband is the president of MK Group, isn't he? "I know about the Fu family's prestige in Ninwell city. Maybe you should think about how this would affect your family's reputation. Perhaps you want find another man just because your relationship with your husband is not good. Please think this through! You're going to get yourself in so much trouble." Rachel was ready to give her a piece of her mind,
when they heard someone's voice come from the door. "Miss Ying, perhaps you should think twice about poking your nose into my business? Does my family have anything to do with you?" It was Jack. He was slowly approaching them, and Claris felt the heavy pressure that he carried with him.
She could no longer say a word. Why was he here?
Jack sat beside Rachel and put his arm around her shoulder. "We don't have a good relationship? Where did you hear that? Perhaps you've forgotten that slander is against the law."
