Chapter 454 A Foot Bath

Scarlett was crying heavily, tears and snot running down her face. She held his hand and begged for the last time. She asked Austin to plead with Jack. She looked very pitiful as she begged him not to send her on the plane.

However, when he thought of what she had done, Austin was a little indifferent. Her pleas were easier to ignore. He thought, 'How can someone be beautiful on the outside and corrupted on the inside? Her heart was simply terrible. It's no wonder that Mr. Fu would do such a cruel thing to her.'

Austin came to his senses and said seriously, "Mr. Fu, I got information that Scarlett's cousin is looking for her everywhere, and she's also threatening to—"

At this point, Tracy's voice can be heard from the other line, "Son, what kind of call is so important that you have to answer it right now? Say what you need to and finish that call. Come back here. The dishes on the table are getting cold."

"Almost done," Jack replied, but he didn't hear the rest of what Austin was saying.

He lowered his voice in case someone else overheard him. "Well, forget about her cousin. I don't think she can stir up any trouble. I have something important to do here. I have to hang up."

After hanging up, Jack went back to the table. Rachel put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth as soon as he sat down. "I'm full."

Jonathan pointed at the dishes. "But you haven't eaten much."

"I don't eat a lot these days." Rachel stood up and smiled. "I want to go out for a walk before dawn. Enjoy your meal."

She was lying about wanting to take a

the time, but he was sporting a silly smile on his face.

Her cell phone rang again just as she closed her door. It was Lea again and this time, she picked it up. Lea was already shouting a barrage of questions before she could even say anything. "Rachel, tell me honestly, what on earth were you busy with just now? Why didn't you answer the phone? And then you didn't even reply to my message."

"Nothing."

Obviously, Lea didn't believe such a blatant excuse. She said angrily, "If you don't tell me the truth, I'll come to your house right away and see it for myself."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you." With a helpless sigh, Rachel subconsciously glanced at the door. She pursed her lips and finally admitted the truth. "The thing is, Jack was just next to me. It wasn't convenient to talk with him around."

"What did you say?" Lea asked.

Rachel knew that she couldn't see, but she still shook her head subconsciously. "It was nothing. He just helped me with a foot bath."

"A foot bath?" Lea was growing agitated which could be felt through her gradually rising voice. "Have you two made up?"

Rachel quickly put the phone away from her ear. She couldn't take the shouting. She only responded when Lea finally calmed down. "No, we haven't."

"Then what's going on between you two?"

Rachel didn't know how to answer that.

It seemed like the two of them had entered a strange phase. She enjoyed being with him, but as soon as she thought of a new start, fear would grip her heart. The terror of considering that thought would always make her timid.
