The reason why Linda decided to go back to Ninwell City was that she wanted to see the place where she had lived for a long time. She was hoping that it could help her regained her memories of the past.
No one would ever want to live, unable to remember the past.
After hearing Eric's story, Rachel couldn't help heaving a sigh. At first, she thought that her aunt would be able to help her remember her childhood memories. She planned to ask her about her complex thoughts and vague dreams about her childhood. But now, it seemed impossible anymore.
Austin was holding an iPad in his hand when he gently pushed the door to Jack's office open. Seeing him standing in front of the window, he called in a low voice, "Mr. Fu?"
There was no response.
He raised his voice and called again. After a long time, Jack finally turned around and glanced at him indifferently. "What's the matter?"
Austin noticed the trace of worry in his boss's deep-set eyes as his brows furrowed. Before he could answer, Jack asked again, "Has Eric gone out?"
He opened his mouth and was about to reply, but Jack pinched between his eyebrows and said, "Forget it. Why are you here, by the way?"
Looking down at the iPad, Austin said slowly, "The Chamber of Commerce of Ninwell City is holding a charity dinner tonight. Mr. Fu, you promised to attend this event a month ago. Are you still going?"

"I... I'm just taking a look," she stammered in a trembling voice.
As soon as she finished her words, she saw Marcus' mother turn her head and glance at her indifferently. The contempt on her face was too obvious.
Celia pursed her lips and hesitated whether she should greet her or not. Suddenly, she heard the other shop assistant said, "Mrs. Ji, do you know that lady? She is looking at you."
Marcus' mother sneered, "Do you think I know her?"
The shop assistant realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, so she quickly smiled apologetically. "Of course, it's impossible. Come and take a look at these dresses. Do you like them?"
At that moment, Celia, who was about to step forward, froze. She felt angry and embarrassed at the same time. In an instant, mixed emotions surged in her heart. As she recalled the expression she saw in Marcus' mother's eyes just now, it was apparent that she detested her. She lowered her head, turned around, and left silently.
Even if she wanted to fight back, what would she say?
Rachel felt a little distressed after hearing Celia's story.
She thought that if she was in Celia's place, she would never allow anyone to humiliate her just because of her relationship with a man.
