"Is that all?" Rachel asked with a tone of indifference after Jack finished speaking.
"Yes," he answered.
She smiled slightly at him and slowly pulled back her hand from him. This worried him. "You made me look like an idiot today, Jack," she said wearily.
The partition in the middle of the car was activated. Thus, the driver never heard anything about what they were talking about.
Jack was in a panic for a brief moment. He tried to hold Rachel's hand a few times more, but she avoided his advances.
Rachel slightly turned her head towards him with a look of indifference. She then looked down at the carpeted floor beneath her feet.
Jack's heart suddenly felt heavy and aching.
"Rachel," he said, almost whispering to her under his breath.
She never reacted to his words. She played with the embroidered patterns on her dress with her dainty fingers. "I thought you had an accident. That's why I rushed to the police station right away to see if you were okay. Then I suddenly felt like a fool when I found out the real reason why you were there in the first place," she said in a soft tone of voice.
Jack shifted slightly in his seat. He felt anxious after he heard what Rachel had to say.
He didn't know what to say to her.
Earlier, he had a secret plan to reward his wife for being jealous. And yet, he suddenly felt like a fool after he heard Rachel's words. Like a basin of cold water was splashed on his face early in the morning.
Rachel turned her head slightly at Jack. "Do you think so?" she asked calmly in a soft voice that was almost a whisper.
She then smiled at him mockingly.
Even if he was a s

It was exactly how she expected it. The man in front of her was clueless why she was even in the police station in the first place. She wondered why he even bothered going there without knowing the true story.
She covered half of her mouth and smiled coldly. She finally understood what was in Baron's mind this whole time.
And because she now had a clear idea of what went on in Baron's mind, she knew how to play the crowd to her advantage. She knew how to make him like her and how to make him feel pity for her.
She lowered her eyes with a deep breath. Her face looked as if she was greatly abused and was too embarrassed to even talk about it.
"It was Ron. He asked me out."
"What does this have to do with Ron?" Baron asked immediately while looking confused.
It was Ron that Celine stabbed that caused her to be brought to the police station. But she told the story in a bit exaggerated way to give herself an advantage over Baron.
Not only would the story make Baron angry, it would provide Celine with a certain advantage.
Baron loved dignity so much. But how would he be able to endure such a humiliation once he found out that his own friend had assaulted his woman?
He never spoke as Celine told him the whole story. His face turned redder and gloomier with every detail in the story that she revealed.
And his reactions to the story told her that he had made a decision.
But her story was not over yet. She kept going at him, spitting out her sad story of getting abused by his own friend. "He took me outside where we were alone. Luckily, I happened to picked up something sharp and stabbed him with it."
