My Darling, My Dearest

Chapter 400 They Looked Alike

"You know I won't go back to Jack." Tears were welling up in Rachel's eyes. She bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying. But the next second, she pushed Bill away, rushed to the bathroom, squatted in front of the toilet. For the next few minutes, she was puking.

Bill quickly followed and patted her on the back. "Are you okay?" he asked in a caring tone.

"Much better," she replied although she looked very sick. Taking the tissue from his hand, Rachel wiped her mouth. Her face, which was originally bloodless, became even paler.

After rinsing her mouth, she put her hands in front of the wash basin to keep herself from falling down. She was overwhelmed by dizziness. "Bill, I don't want you wasting your time on me. I can't give you any promise."

Rachel chose to make it clear. She didn't want to leave any room for misunderstandings.

With a gloomy look in his eyes, Bill remained utterly silent. He helped Rachel out of the hospital.

It was getting quite dark. In a very secluded private club, Mr. Chen sat, his face turning red. Glaring fiercely at the person opposite to him, he shouted, "Didn't you agree to sell all the shares to me? Whom did you sell them to now?"

"I haven't found out yet." The man's trembling voice clearly showed he was afraid of Mr. Chen. After all, the latter was a man who was capable of doing anything.

At this moment, in a car outside the club, Jack was sitting in the back seat. He ordered in a low voice, "Drive back."

"Okay." When Austin started the car, his phone vibrated. Glancing at it, he caught sight of the caller's name. He turned to look at Jack who was sitting behind and said, "Mr. Fu, it's a message from Mr. Chen. He wants to know if you have any appointment tomorrow night."

"Tell him I am available." Jack's dark eyes were both cold and fierce.

The next day, Jack and Austin arrived at the restaurant at the prescribed time. As soon as they got out of the car, they saw Mr. Chen and his assistant standing at the door. Quickly, they came forward and said, "Mr. Fu, was the traffic too much? I wish I had been waited for you in the company so that both of us could have come here together."

His words were full of flattery. Jack smiled perfunctorily but did not make a reply.

Mr. Chen looked at him awkwardly. After sometime, he broke the silence once again and said, "The private room is ready. Let's go in." Then he led them into the restaurant along with his assistant.

Standing behind Jack, Austin whispered disdainfully, "Mr. Fu, I can't believe they are putting on this facade."

"Don't worry. We will eventually remove the mask off their faces." Jack patted Austin on the shoulder and smiled.

Several shareholders were sitting on the sofa in the private room. When they saw Jack come in, they all stood up. A fake smile was plastered on each one of their faces.

Austin was about to pull out the chair of the host's seat, but Mr. Chen took a step ahead and said, "Mr. Fu, please sit here."

Jack didn't refuse and sat down on the chair. His deep and long eyes turned cold, and the corners of his mouth parted a bit. Finally, he said, "Please don't stand. Take a seat, everybody!"

All of them wanted to step forward, but there was a hint of unwillingness on their face. Hearing his words, they pulled out their chairs and sat down. One of them was about to occupy the seat next to Jack, but Mr. Chen patted his shoulder and winked at him to find another seat. And now, the seat next to Jack remained empty.

Seeing this, Austin was puzzled. He wanted to speak up, but Jack motioned for him to have a seat. Having no choice, he obliged.

When the waitress saw that they were all seated, she went forward, setting up the table and preparing the tea. Right at this moment, the door was pushed open and a slender girl made an entry. She was clad in a black dress with her black hair hanging over her shoulders. Her watery eyes faintly exuded a demonic aura.

What surprised everyone was not how beautiful she was, but the stark resemblance she bore to Rachel. Austin let out a low gasp when he first saw her.

The closer she came, the wider Austin's eyes became.

The girl smoothed her hair, pretending like she couldn't see the shock in his eyes.

While all this happened, Jack was oblivious to everything. He looked down, his eyes glued to his phone. Mr. Chen realized he had to do something. Getting up, he led the girl to Jack and introduced, "Mr. Fu, this is my cousin, Scarlett Chen. I specially called her over tonight to accompany you for the dinner."

At this moment, Jack put down his mobile phone and looked up. His cold eyes suddenly became expressionless. Emotions were brewing in his heart, waiting to be exposed. But he wouldn't let his guard down today. His heart was trembling. 'How can she look so similar to Rachel?' he wondered in his heart. But he told himself this wasn't his Rachel. Rachel was like a lotus, free from mud. This woman was akin to the wild flower on the roadside, emitting a disgusting fragrance.

Austin had been staring at Jack. Seeing that Jack looked unmoved, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he heard his name popping out of Jack's mouth. "Austin, it occurred to me I have something important to do. My apologies to everyone for leaving. Have an enjoyable meal!"

Jack stood up and left.

Deep in his heart, he knew this woman wasn't Rachel. She merely held some resemblance to her. However, he couldn't bear to stay in the room where she remained. Her face would bring Rachel and her memories back to him. Moreover, he wasn't enjoying the night even a little bit. He was relieved to leave everything in Austin's hands.

Standing at the entrance of the restaurant, he was about to catch a taxi. A clear female voice came from behind. "Mr. Fu, wait for me."

Jack turned around and saw her walking over in her high-heeled shoes, her dress in one hand. She gasped and said, "My cousin asked me to come here tonight to have dinner with you. Now that you are leaving, there is no point in staying here. But..."

She bit her lips, with tears brimming in her eyes. After a moment, she composed herself and continued, "I forgot to bring my wallet with me. I am in a helpless situation, so could you give me a ride?"

The next morning, as soon as Jack drove to the underground parking lot of MK Group, he saw Austin waiting for him. Like he was in some kind of hurry, he ran over. Jack couldn't help frowning and asked, "Did something go wrong last night? Why do you look flustered?"

Austin shook his head and stammered, "I heard that you left with Scarlett Chen last night. Did you..."

"Nothing happened,"

Jack said before Austin could finish his words. Deftly, he threw the car keys into the air and they accurately fell into Austin's palms. He explained in a low voice, "She didn't have a wallet so she asked me for a ride. That's all."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"That's good."

Austin breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest. Only God knew how worried he had been last night. He didn't even sleep a wink since he worried Jack had fallen into their trap. After all, he missed Rachel so much.

Now returning to the office, Austin quickly filled Jack in with what had happened last night. As expected, these people assumed that their dirty intentions hadn't been discovered. They did all they could to create a good impression. Perhaps they thought they wouldn't receive any serious punishment when their truth would get exposed someday. But they didn't know that Jack was always one step ahead of them. All their actions had been observed by him.

Austin coughed and asked, "Mr. Fu, what should we do next? Last night, I realized how painful it is to tolerate their flattery."

Jack smiled, touched his chin and said coldly, "We won't have to tolerate it. We can call them in later and reveal what we found."

On the other hand, Rachel hadn't seen Bill since met him two days ago. Perhaps she had done the right thing by making things clear. She was quite relieved.

However, there was something that was distressing her and it was the morning sickness. The last two days had been dreadful. Everything made her want to puke. The other day, the smell of oil made her stomach churn.

She could barely eat anything. Her appetite was getting really bad. She survived exclusively on porridge these days. Her originally thin face became even paler.

Miss Li, who was in the same office, saw her and asked with concern, "Miss Shen, are you okay? You look much thinner these two days."

Because her belly was not big, nobody here guessed about her pregnancy.

Raising her head from the front of the computer, Rachel grinned. "I'm fine. I just have a stomachache."

"Is that all? You should have told me. I have a great medicine that helps with stomach ache. Have a try. It's very effective." Miss Li fumbled in the cabinet enthusiastically, took out the medicine bottle and placed it on Rachel's table. Suddenly, the strong smell of Chinese medicine penetrated into the tip of her nose.

Before she could say anything, Rachel covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom.

However, the scene that happened left Miss Li dumbfounded. She looked at the door from time to time, wondering what had gone wrong. Bringing the medicine close to her nose, Miss Li muttered, "Her reaction is quite strange. The medicine may not smell too good, but it isn't strong enough to make someone vomit. What's up with her?"

She continued to smell the bottle, trying to understand the cause of Rachel's strong reaction. Just then, there was a knock on the door. She quickly put the bottle down, looked at the man and asked doubtfully, "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is Rachel here?" the man asked.

"Yes." Miss Li nodded and thought to herself, 'Who is this Rachel actually? Why do such handsome men come for her?'

She thought the man would wait. However, he left quickly. After a while, Rachel came back from the bathroom. Miss Li frowned and said doubtfully, "Miss Shen, someone came to see you just now, but he left without explaining why he had come."

"What does he look like?" Rachel held her breath.

Miss Li described the man in detail. After she finished speaking, she noticed that Rachel's originally bloodless face turned even paler. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you really okay, Miss Shen? Do you need me to call the ambulance?"
