Chapter 8 He&##x27;s Coveting My Woman

Michael stopped abruptly. 'She wants to talk to Jack alone?'

Then he turned to Rachel. She looked so serious that it seemed like she was seeing a patient. 'What
does she want to talk to Jack about?' Michael wondered.

This was not a good omen at all. Until now, Michael had thought that the marriage between Jack and
Rachel was in name only. But Rachel's behavior made him think otherwise. Of course, perhaps it was
because of Jack's unrestrained actions recently that Rachel was about to lose her temper, just like she
had at Celine just now.

Michael was curious about what Rachel would say to Jack.

There were several exceptional men standing in the corridor, and the beautiful young lady, Celine,
undoubtedly attracted many people's attention.

That night, when Jack had come to the emergency room with Celine in his arms, he had made quite a
scene, so several nurses recognized them now. The nurses looked curiously at the scene as they
walked past, some of them whispering among themselves.

The rest of the people there stood still in shock and turned to look at Jack.

Celine snorted. "I'll leave first then,"

she said before turning around and walking away.

Jack stared at Celine's back until she was out of sight, and then turned to his friends and said calmly,
"You should go now too."

Michael wanted to follow them to hear what they were going to talk about, so he was a little upset when
Jack asked him and Marcus to leave.



Rachel went back to her office, took off her white gown, and changed into her coat. Then, she went to
the cafe near the hospital.

When she walked in, all she had to do was follow the line of sight of several waitresses in the cafe to
easily find Jack.

Wherever he went, he would attract a lot of people's attention. However, most of them didn't dare to
approach him, preferring to steal glances at him from a distance every now and then.

Rachel had noticed this a long time ago. Ever since then, she had been able to quickly find Jack in a
crowd no matter where he was.

After spotting him, Rachel walked over to his table and took a seat opposite him.

Soon, a waitress came over. Rachel asked for a glass of water, offhandedly noting that Jack had
ordered a cup of black coffee.

As a doctor, Rachel was very picky about anything that she consumed. She did not like to have things
that would be harmful to her body. For example, she didn't like smoking, so whenever Jack smoked,
she would try to avoid him.

The music in the cafe was light and soothing. Jack unconcernedly took a sip of coffee with
indescribable elegance. Even a few of the customers kept shooting glances at this aristocratic man.

"Go ahead," Jack said in his deep and mellow voice.

Rachel looked at him in surprise. Usually, Jack would quietly wait for her to speak, but today, it seemed
that he was impatient.

After the waitress brought a glass of water to the table, Rachel said, "It's very simple. Please don't aim
your anger at Eric anymore."



Jack smiled as if he had heard a big joke.

"He's coveting my woman. Why can't I be angry at him?"

"You should know that there is no possibility of anything happening between Celine and him."

Jack didn't argue, so Rachel continued,

"My brother never took the initiative to see her these days."

"I know. You don't have to be so worried about it," Jack replied nonchalantly.

"Celine comes every day to stir up trouble. How can I not be worried?" Rachel snapped. All of a
sudden, she couldn't stand Jack's indifferent attitude toward her, as if she and her brother were just
insignificant people that Jack could do whatever he wanted to.

It suddenly dawned on her that people from wealthy families didn't care about others' lives at all.
Ordinary people were just like pawns to them in the games that they played with each other.

In the past, Rachel had had no interest in their affairs and just ignored them. But now, the person
involved in their games was her young brother, so she had no choice but to interfere.

"It's obvious that Celine doesn't like my brother, so why does she come here every day to bring him
soup? I'm sure you know her purpose," Rachel continued angrily.

"I admit, what you said to Celine in your office is quite correct," Jack relented in a low voice.

"So, you knew clearly what Celine's hidden motive was, but you still played along and even tried to cut
my brother's hands off?" Rachel looked calm, but her voice was trembling.

"If she wants to test me, I'll allow her to do it."



These simple words from Jack's mouth made a shiver run down Rachel's spine.

As she stared at Jack's dark eyes, her vision blurred with tears, but she quickly blinked them back. She
had known this man since childhood, but she suddenly felt like he was a stranger to her.

How many people was Jack ready to hurt for the sake of a woman and her so-called love game?

Jack had agreed to marry Rachel for his own reasons, and since then, they had been legally married
for five years.

In the past five years, Rachel hadn't asked for too much. She didn't want to have any conflict with
Celine, and when the time came, she would divorce Jack.

But now, Jack didn't want to let Eric go because of Celine despite the fact that he was Rachel's brother.
'Jack and Celine really are a great match for each other,' Rachel thought with a scoff.

Then, with her lips slightly curving up, she said, "Don't think that you can control everything, Jack."
