Trapped In Lace

Jack even denied that he was beaten by Baron in public because of Celine.

He couldn't accept the fact that because of Celine, he lost his temper.

While listening to Jack, Rachel suddenly felt that their breakfast was tasteless. She wished he didn't bother to explain anything.

On the other hand, Jack was expecting a response from Rachel after his explanation. Even just a smile from her would be enough.

But to his disappointment, her face remained expressionless.

He couldn't even tell if she was angry or she just didn't care at all.

This weird atmosphere between them had started since last night.

Jack didn't know what was going on. He was willing to explain, and Rachel was willing to listen.

Moreover, they didn't fight. However, it seemed that some problems were coming along their way.

After breakfast, Rachel needed to go out, so she took out the medicine and gave Jack some instructions on how to apply it.

But when she was about to leave, Jack held her hand to stop her. He stared at her with his deep-set black eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm aching all over. Can you help me apply the medicine first before you leave?"

Instead of answering him, Rachel unlocked her phone and gestured for Jack to look at the screen. But he didn't get what she meant.

Seeing that Jack didn't understand her, she explained sternly, "Look at the time. I have an appointment with someone at half past nine. If I don't go now, I will be late."

Jack was held dumb for a

sked, gnashing his teeth in anger.

"Why are you looking for him?"

"This is all his fault. It's him who did this to me. I almost died because of him."

Andy's face turned pale upon hearing what Bill said. He asked to confirm, "Do you mean you have an allergy because of Mark?"

Bill replied uncertainly, "He asked me to meet him there that night. But when I arrived, he wasn't there."

Since Mark didn't come, Bill drank alone. But a few minutes later, he felt something strange. Then he almost fainted.

At first, he thought that the wine that Mark reserved for him was just too strong.

But it turned out there was something in the wine that triggered his allergy.

After listening to Bill's speculation, Andy said with a serious look on his face, "If Mark did this on purpose, we should have him investigated."

He then took out his phone and was about to dial Howard's number.

Rachel wasn't sure if she should leave. After all, this was their privacy.

Since Bill wasn't sure if Mark had something to do with what happened to him, and he didn't have enough evidence, he stopped Andy from calling Howard.

"Don't call him yet. We need to figure out things first."

He was so anxious that he already forgot about his ugly face as he sat up straight from the bed.

"You have nothing to worry about. After all, this incident happened in the Wu family. No matter what, it is Howard's responsibility to find the culprit who wants to kill his son," Andy retorted with a frown.
