Chapter 316 Lies Were Detected

Seeing the bandage wrapped around Rachel's arm, Jack frowned. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," she answered.

Jack raised his hand, wanting to place a comforting hold on her shoulder, but when he spotted the vigilance in her eyes, he held back. "I'll drive you home," he stated, without leaving any room for argument.

Rachel shook her head. "I'll be having dinner with Celia later, and then send her home."

Celia was chatting with Marcus when she heard her name being mentioned. She pointed to her nose. "Send me home?"

Marcus secretly tugged the corner of her sleeve. He glanced at her and shook his head.

'What does he mean?'

Celia furrowed her eyebrows, not understanding what he meant. She was about to say goodbye to him when he grabbed her hand.

"I'll drive her home," Marcus replied.

'What a silly girl,' he thought.

Jack's eyes glimmered with joy as he raised his eyebrows. "In that case, I can drive Rachel home."

The corner of Rachel's mouth twitched.

Celia stared at the retreating figures of the ex-couple. In a few seconds, she realized that her hand was still being held by Marcus. She immediately shook off his hold. "Why did you stop Rachel from driving me home?"

"Fine. Let me ask you this."

She stopped and turned around. "How did you know that I would need this?"

"I heard about it." He scratched the back of his head.

"Who told you?"

"I heard it by accident."

"How much is the ointment then?"

Eric frowned. How the hell was he supposed to know? Thinking that the ointment wasn't too expensive, he quickly guessed, "Thirty-five dollars."

"Really? What pharmacy did you buy it from? Remind me to buy a few boxes. It wouldn't be long till I become a millionaire myself," she said snidely.

His shoulders sagged at her sarcasm.

It seemed that he was exposed.

Having no other choice, he admitted begrudgingly, "You don't have to argue with me like this. Jack was the one who asked me to give you this ointment. He knew that you wouldn't accept it from him, so he asked me to give it to you."

"You know I wouldn't take it. You shouldn't have come here in his stead," she said indifferently.
