Chapter 238 A Sleepless Night

Although Baron thought so too, he knew that he had to be polite to Howard.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Wu."

"You're welcome."

Howard was about to say something else, but was interrupted before he could speak once more.

"Everything is fine here, now. You don't need to worry about it any further."

Howard's face froze, and he suddenly looked awkward when he laughed.

But Baron simply could not conceal the mark of impatience on his face. He glanced at Jack who stood beside him. "I can handle my girlfriend's problem. No need for other people to get involved with it," he said with a smug expression.

Embarrassment was written all over Howard's face. Jack, however, remained unaffected and said something to Howard.

Howard then nodded. Jack didn't say another word, turned around and left them.

Baron never expected that Celine would be so bold to do what she did while he was in the ward.

She dragged Jack to the balcony where they were alone and had a good chat with him. She went there with him on purpose to make herself look pitiful in front of him.

She was not doing anything sneaky or tricky when Rachel saw them together.

She told Jack the story of her experiences after she left Ninwell City.

She intentionally left out the details of everything that happened to her during those days. Instead, she focused on the parts where she suffered while living in another city.

She admitted to feeling embarrassed that she had no choice but to date Baron so that she could have protection, support and safety.

But she understood that if she only told Jack how much she regretted to leave him,

all she'd get from Jack after her story would be disdain and a cold look.

Thus, Celine's approach was to imply that the reason why she experienced so

hing from his family especially since she never did anything to hurt his family.

It was true that she annoyed him a lot before, but he only threatened her so that she'd stop bothering him, but he never intended to do anything about it.

And now, Celine had revealed tearfully how she was hurt by someone from the Fu family.

Unfortunately, before he could go to his father and ask him about Celine's story, Celine called him. When she went back to the hotel from the hospital, she found that all her luggage had been taken out of the room.

And the hotel staff told her that they could no longer allow her to continue to stay there.

And at almost the same time, someone called her to warn her to leave Ninwell City as soon as possible.

These things happened before to her and Celine was sure that Jonathan was behind it.

But Jack did not think that it was his father's idea anymore. It had been several months already. Besides, his relationship with Rachel was getting better. His father no longer had the time to concern himself with another woman from Jack's past.

Maybe his father assigned someone to keep an eye on Celine, but his father had not updated that person yet. And so this person was still harassing Celine and was getting her rejected in Ninwell City.

Unfortunately, everything was just a guess for Jack. He had to make sure of anything first before he could really take any concrete action.

But he never expected that after the many things that he had to do, it wasn't until early morning that he had the time to look for Rachel.

So he drove to Rachel's apartment daily and slept for several hours in the guest room until Rachel got back in the evening.

And because he still had contact with Celine, it made him feel helpless about the situation.
