Chapter 413 Let The News Be Published On Purpose

From that day on, Jack and Rachel didn't say a word to each other even though they were living under the same roof.

Every morning, Jack was already out the door when Rachel went downstairs. In the evening, he was never home by the time she retired for the night.

How could she know anything about the banquet last night?

However, in the eyes of outsiders, she and Jack were still a couple.

Rachel knew that they also talked about Jack being a playboy, usually in relation with herself.

She looked down at her belly. 'It's only for the next five months, ' she told herself. Afterwards, she would have nothing to do with him anymore. She didn't have to bear the fingers pointed her way during that time.

It would be better to come up with a plausible explanation to block the nasty gossip.

After a long moment of silence, Rachel folded up the newspaper and returned it to Celia. "These reporters like to throw around groundless accusations, or else no one will actually read these newspapers. When you go back, if someone asks you again, you can explain this to them. Thank you."

Celia was the most suitable person for this. She nodded and said solemnly, "Okay, Rachel, don't worry."

she said in a condescending manner.

The young women also heard the news, and they couldn't contain their curiosity. One of them asked first, "Scarlett, what method did you use? How did you manage to hook up with Jack Fu?"

Scarlett knocked on the glass table with a spoon. "What are you talking about? I'm not hooking up with him, I'm dating him. He's my boyfriend."

Their faces showed varying degrees of disbelief. The woman said, "If that were true, then could you call him and ask him to join us? Let us check him out for you."

"He is too busy." Scarlett's demeanor changed slightly, and her attitude suddenly became evasive.

However, these minute changes were not lost on her companions, so one of them asked coquettishly, "You are his girlfriend. He will come once you call him."
