It was true that Celine had taken advantage of Jack.
After being driven out of Ninwell City, Celine met up with two friends in a bar. Seeing how troubled she was, they offered her a drug that could make her forget everything, and she became obsessed with it.
Last week, after both of them had heard how much of a good life she had in Ninwell City, they called her up and came to find her.
They had done their best to butter her up, and Celine agreed to go out with them.
They spent the night bar hopping.
They all injected some sort of drug into their systems, so even they didn't know what they were talking about during those times.
In fact, she didn't even know that she had bedded a stranger that night.
The next day, she found herself lying naked in an outdated motel.
The day after that, she received a package that held stacks of photos that showed her and some strange man. Next, someone called her up, asking for a sum of money; otherwise, these photos would be all over the Internet.
However, she had no money.
She had already taken out all the money she had left to find someone to investigate and follow Rachel around. Now, her account was probably as wiped clean as her face.
"Please give me some time to prepare," she had begged.
Surprisingly, the man had agreed. What she didn't know was that he had already contacted Baron about the photos.
Of course, everything went according to the stranger's plan.
Given that Celine was his girlfriend by name, Baron had to use his own money to buy him out. This was his reputation on the line! As soon as he returned home, he took out his anger on her, which resulted to the injuries she had now.
Her tears slid down her face as she wrenched the needle from the back of her hand. She struggled to reach Jack. "Listen to me," she stuttered. "I was framed. Please trust me."
"I don't care."
Jack could only stare at her coldly. "Don't ever call me again."
Without giving her a chance to reply, he left.
After taking the antibiotics, Rachel felt much better.
When she went out of the room, she didn't see Eric. She chuckled. 'This guy will never grow up. He probably went somewhere to party again.'
On the contrary, she actually envied the man for being so carefree. He always lived a good life without a single care in the world.
As she was pouring herself a glass of water in the kitchen, her phone rang.
"Hi, Dad!" she greeted.
"You finally turned on your phone." He sighed in relief. "Where are you now? Do you think you can come over? Or is it better if I come to you?"
Given the urgency of his voice, she knew that he wanted to talk about the news regarding Jack and Celine.
