Chapter 431 An Awkward Dinner

When the group of people heard what Austin said, they all smiled, showing their trust in Jack. And now, the silence was replaced with laughter.

An old lady sitting next to Rachel looked at her. Her eyes fell on Rachel's belly. "Are you Mr. Fu's wife? I am sure he will make a wonderful father. He has been a lovely boss."

Flashing the lady a faint smile, Rachel remained silent. The news about Jack had been released yesterday. It wouldn't do to lie. Sooner or later, the lady would figure it out. However, she didn't have the energy to explain the story. Under the situation, silence seemed like the best choice.

That lady talked about the problems that her daughter-in-law encountered while she was pregnant. Rachel paid attention to her words, hoping to learn a thing or two from it. Just then, the place was overcome by an eerie silence. "Mr. Fu," uttered a man.

With her back to the door of the room, Rachel couldn't see him. But the people surrounding her kept staring at her. There was a strange expression on their faces.

When she was about to look back, she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind. "Jack, are all of these your employees? God! This place is bustling with people."

"Yeah, they are. Didn't you say you were bored at home? I hope you will enjoy it here." Jack's voice was particularly gentle, as if he was addressing someone he deeply loved.

Bitterness crept to Rachel's heart. In spite of these strong emotions, she tried hard to hold back her true feelings. Feigning a smile, she sat composed. 'Relax Rachel, this is not a big deal!' she kept tellin

ed Mr. Wang's arm and said, "Mr. Wang, you've been here for a long time. Your friends must be waiting for you."

Mr. Wang wasn't in a mood to leave at all. Waving his hands, he said, "It doesn't matter. I've told them it will be a while. Besides, I haven't finished my toast yet."

Since the seat next to Rachel was empty, Mr. Wang sat down and pulled his chair closer to her. One could tell from the way he sat that he had no intention of getting up.

By now, Jack was wild with fury. Scarlett too was unhappy with this man's intrusion. Everything was going fine until he came. She forced herself to calm down, picked up the bottle on the side and filled her glass with win. Smiling at Mr. Wang, she said, "Mr. Wang, since you have proposed a toast to Jack, I'll drink this as a response to you. Please don't refuse my kindness, Mr. Wang."

Her words not only shifted people's attention, but also hinted at the intimate relationship she shared with Jack.

Mr. Wang also looked away from Rachel and smiled. "Mrs. Fu, you're so kind."

Relieved at easing the atmosphere, Scarlett sighed in her head.

Rachel, on the other hand, realized Jack wasn't going to correct Mr. Wang. He had no intention of telling him Scarlett wasn't Mrs. Fu. A surge of pain crept through her heart, yet she pretended to be strong.

Seeing Jack's glass was empty, Scarlett filled it with wine.

Mr. Wang, on the other hand, had almost finished his drink. Now that he had drunk a full glass of wine, he was losing his mind. Seeing Rachel's soft hand on the table, he couldn't help but feel an urge to touch it.
