Chapter 249 In Chaos

Jack got into the car and began scrolling through his messages,

all of which were about the incident in the neighboring province.

Unlike the news on the Internet, most of these messages containing pictures and videos were sent to
him directly from on-site,

and they were far more shocking.

Jack clenched his phone anxiously as he tried to assure himself that nothing would happen to Rachel
and that she couldn't have gone to such remote places.

However, the fact that he had yet to receive any update from the hospital made him feel afraid that
something unexpected would happen.

Just when he was about to board the plane, he finally received a call from the hospital.

"Mr. Fu, Rachel and her team members went to the site yesterday morning to administer first aid.
However, we haven't been able to get in touch with them since..."

Jack was so shocked that the rest of the other party's words were drowned by the ringing in his ears.

After a few seconds, he finally came back to his senses and heard the person say, "We have just found
her. She is being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment..."

Jack's face turned deathly pale, and he was so overwhelmed with panic that he had to hold onto the
armrest on his seat to steady himself. When he glanced at the time and realized that there was still ten
minutes left before he could board the plane, his heart dropped.

He took a deep breath before he asked, "How's she now?"



The other party was silent. Only a moment passed, but it was enough to turn Jack's limbs cold with
fear.

"Please tell me," he prompted again, raising his voice.

"Don't worry. The site is chaotic now, so we couldn't get any details. But we'll know soon."

"Okay, thank you. I will see it in person when I arrive," Jack said before hanging up.

He looked out through the glass windows of the waiting hall and saw the sun shining brightly.

About an hour later, when Jack landed in the capital city of the neighboring province and stepped out of
the flight, he found that it was dark overhead.

The ground of the airport was wet and slippery. Due to the weather, many flights had been delayed or
suspended.

The contrast between the weather in the neighboring province and that in Ninwell City was so huge that
Jack felt depressed when he looked up at the sky.

When Tracy learned that her son had left, she was relieved. She tidied her clothes and arrived at the
restaurant earlier than the appointed time.

As soon as she walked in, a waiter led her into a private room.

The young woman seated inside rose to her feet at once.

Tracy had expected to see a panicked woman. After all, Celine had been timid and restless when they
had met a year ago.

To her surprise, however, Celine looked totally different now. She was wearing a blue sleeveless dress
and a green jade bracelet on her white wrist.



"Hi, Mrs. Fu," she greeted with a smile, looking sweet and gentle.

If, at the very beginning, Celine had just shown up in front of her in this way, maybe she would have
really liked her.

However, it was said that a leopard couldn't change its spots. Maybe this was just a facade.

Anyway, Tracy didn't think too much. She nodded slightly and sat down opposite Celine.

Celine poured some tea for her and said, "It's been a long time since the last time we met, Mrs. Fu. But
you still look just as young and beautiful."

Tracy, who had just taken a sip of the tea, almost choked when she heard this.

The woman in front of her might have dressed up well this time, but she was still the same person on
the inside.

Her attempt at flattery was worse than that of a five-year-old child.

Of course, the last time they had met was just the middle of last year. 'It was my mistake to think she
could have changed that much in such a short time,' Tracy thought disdainfully.

Putting down the teacup, she asked calmly, "When did you come back to the city?"

Celine's face turned stiff. Naturally, she hadn't forgotten that she had been expelled from the city by the
Fu family.

As her heart began pounding against her chest, she subconsciously withdrew her hand from the table
and began fidgeting with the hem of her dress.

All her little movements did not go unnoticed by Tracy, who gently skimmed her finger around the edge
of her teacup and laughed inwardly.



'She is hopeless,'

she thought.

Celine knew she had to say something, but she was afraid of offending Tracy and being driven out of
this city again.

After hesitating for a while, she replied carefully, "I came back with my boyfriend a few days ago."

"Okay," Tracy said indifferently.

Celine had no idea why Tracy had called her here, so she didn't know what to say next.

'Does she want to frighten me?' she wondered,

but she pretended to be calm and strong.

Mustering up some confidence, she asked, "Have you had lunch? Do you want to order something?"

Tracy elegantly took another sip of tea. "No. Who wouldn't have had lunch at this hour?"

Feeling embarrassment, Celine glanced at her watch and saw that it was 2 p.m.

"Well, would you like to have some dessert?"

"No, thanks. I don't have much of an appetite. I want to talk to you about something," she said calmly.

"Please go ahead."

Before coming here, Tracy hadn't thought about what she was going to say at all.

After a momentary pause, she asked, "How are you doing these days?"



Hearing this question, Celine felt flattered.

Wanting to get into Tracy's good graces, she answered carefully,

"Not bad. I'm living a good life now."

"Okay. That's good." Tracy nodded slightly.

However, she didn't say anything more.

Since they hadn't ordered anything, the two of them just sat there doing nothing, which made Celine
feel awkward.

Just when she was about to lose her patience, Tracy tapped on the table slightly and said, "Since you
have a good life now, I hope you won't bother Jack anymore."

"What makes you think I'm bothering him?" Celine asked, raising her chin defiantly.

Tracy was a little surprised by her aggressive response. "You should know clearly that we won't accept
you as our daughter-in-law. Now that you have corrected your mistakes, I hope you won't make trouble
again.

You are so young. Do you think it's good for you to be a man's mistress?"

Her words felt like a slap to Celine, who hated being called a home wrecker more than anything else.

Keeping a straight face, she said, "They are not even a real couple. They might have been married for
so many years, but I'm the one that your son had been living with."

Upon hearing her extremely shameless words, Tracy almost wanted to laugh.



If Celine had had the courage to say this to her when she had been with Jack, Tracy might have
admired her.

But now, Jack had already broken up with Celine.

So, Tracy didn't know why Celine was saying such things now. She stood up and smoothed the hem of
her clothes. "You'd better behave."

Celine clenched her fist and stood up as well. "Do you think they're a real couple? It's not like they have
a child. Why can't you be a good mother? Why do you keep going against Jack's wishes? Ask him
whether he is willing to be with Rachel or not!"

Tracy sneered. "Ha! Against Jack's wishes? Why don't you ask Jack if he is willing to get back together
with you now?"

After she said these words, however, Tracy felt a little irritated with herself. Why was she wasting time
talking to a delusional woman like this?

'If she doesn't behave herself in the future, I will personally teach her a lesson,' she decided.

Grabbing her handbag, she said indifferently, "Thank you for your hospitality, but it seems that we can't
get along with each other. I'm leaving."

Just when she put her hand on the doorknob, Celine suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

Tracy paused.

"Why don't you ask them? Ask them if they'll ever have a baby," Celine said maliciously.

Upon hearing this, Tracy frowned in disgust. 'This woman is so vicious.'



She opened the door and stepped out, not bothering to reply. Just as she was about to close the door
behind her, however, she heard Celine continue, "I guess you don't know about it. Jack has done a
ligation operation for me."

Tracy stiffened and looked back in disbelief. "What?"

Celine's heart was pounding. By now, she had nearly lost all her reason.

Her eyes were as dark as a beast lurking in the dark as she smiled and pulled herself up. "I said, Jack
has done a ligation operation."

As she spoke, she raised her chin like a proud peacock.

"He had the operation three years ago! He promised me that he would never have a child with any
other woman except me."

The last sentence was a lie, but Celine couldn't help herself. Anyway, just the fact that Jack had done a
ligation operation was enough to strike back at this woman.

For her, it was a fatal blow!

Tracy turned around and stared at her coldly. "It's not funny to make up such stories."

However, Celine just laughed. "You can ask your son if you don't believe me."
