Chapter 430 Do You Really Not Care

Name:Trapped In Lace Author:Goose
Rachel smiled at Celia, but her calm face belied the turmoil in her heart. She said slowly, "Well, I can't confront that woman, nor can I get even with Jack. I should not be angry for the sake of the baby I'm carrying. That's the reason why I said that this matter has nothing to do with me."

She flashed the other woman another smile and added, "It's getting late, Celia. You should go back to your work now."

In a daze, Celia nodded and walked out of the office. She closed the door and slowly pulled her hand away from the doorknob. Her head tilted quizzically, Celia stared at the door in confusion.

She came to Rachel's office this morning to see her reaction while keeping everything a secret from her. Since Rachel had already found out, she was hoping that Rachel could clarify everything with Jack. However, it seemed that Rachel was not going to do so.

Behind the door, the smile at the corners of Rachel's mouth disappeared. She picked up the newspaper again and spread it in front of her.

The bite mark on her lips remained obvious. She gently touched her injured lip, feeling the scab that had started to form over it.

Rachel barked out a short, self-deprecating laugh. Last night, Jack held her in his arms and asked her why she couldn't forgive him. In the blink of an eye, he went to another woman, and his news of his latest indiscretion was plastered all over the media.

How could she forgive him and his behavior?

Rachel felt a bit stupid for feeling worried about Jack the night before. She even called up Michael and asked him

orgotten what was written in the divorce agreement?"

'How dare he threaten me with this!' Rachel seethed inwardly, but her face remained mask-like in its serenity.

She stood up and walked over to stand before him. She said expressionlessly, "I can only spare two hours tomorrow night."

She didn't know what kind of dinner she was going to attend or who would show up, and she didn't ask—she wasn't even interested, anyway.

On the following day, Rachel had just turned off her computer and was about to head out when she heard a knock on her door. She opened it and saw a smiling Austin standing at the door. "Miss Shen, Mr. Fu asked me to pick you up."

"Ah, thank you."

In the car, Rachel found that Jack invited several employees to dinner tonight. These people were the ones who were in charge of all of the company's affairs during his hospitalization.

The small dinner party was held at a seafood restaurant across from the MK Group building.

When Rachel and Austin arrived, the two tables within the private function room were already occupied. Upon their arrival, everyone rose to their feet. One of the employees peered at them and said in a disappointed tone, "Austin, why isn't Mr. Fu here yet? Is he even coming? Are we supposed to pay for dinner ourselves?"

"Do you really think that Mr. Fu is that kind of person?" Austin pulled out a chair and motioned for Rachel to sit down.

She noticed an empty seat next to her and guessed that it was Jack's. He was the one who invited her to this dinner. Why was he running late, then?
