Stuck in you

Chapter 216 The Walls Have Ears

A rumor had spread that Jack sent Celine away because of the pressure from his family.

However, some rumors also said that it was Celine who dumped Jack. When Emma heard about it, she sneered.

She knew there was no way Celine would dump a rich and powerful man like Jack.

'That snobbish woman! Jack might have been blinded for so long to fall in love with her.'

Emma was so surprised to see Celine here at the party tonight.

Before, she was afraid of Jack's anger if she caused trouble for Celine.

But when she saw how coquettish Celine was when she was Baron, Emma realized that Celine and Jack had finally broken up.

A smug smile appeared on her lips.

Emma saw that Celine was alone, so she thought of coming to her and mock her. However, she didn't expect that she would be the one who got humiliated.

Celine flaunted her charms, saying that the man Emma liked was head over heels in love with her.

Emma suddenly felt angry and resentful, couldn't help cursing the man for being so blind.

Until now, she still couldn't understand why he loved a woman like Celine.

Emma didn't know that Jack brought Rachel tonight and introduced her to the public.

That was why she didn't dare to teach Celine a lesson for fear of offending Jack.

Rachel was about to leave when she heard someone mentioned a familiar name that she hadn't heard for a long time.

She was surprised to know that Celine was also here. 'What a small world!' she thought.

Did she really need to meet her husband's ex-mistress in this party?

'The enemy of my enemy is a friend. Maybe I could take a chance to know this woman and befriend her.'

Thinking about it, Rachel laughed to herself secretly.

She didn't know when she started to become like this. But she also didn't know that Celine had already returned.

Jonathan had thrown Celine out of Ninwell City.

Rachel had no idea how she was able to come back, but it didn't matter anymore.

She had nothing to worry about, so she didn't take her seriously.

The Fu family was rich and powerful, but this didn't mean they could do anything they wanted.

Actually, Rachel didn't mean to harm Celine. She just got fed up by everything that Celine did to her,

so she asked Jonathan to take care of her. Rachel wasn't interested in fighting a woman like her.

As of the moment, Celine was already an insignificant person in her life.

No matter what she did,

Rachel wouldn't mind it as long as it wouldn't affect her.

At first, Rachel was in a hurry to leave.

But when she overheard their conversation, she couldn't help listening to them in secret.

She was even more surprised when their topic shifted from Celine to her.

When Emma found out that Jack brought his wife here, her eyes lit up in excitement.

A cunning smile appeared on her face as she talked to the other women in a low voice.

But since Rachel was just at the back of the door, she heard what Emma had said clearly. Emma was planning to use her to annoy Celine.

Rachel suddenly felt annoyed.

Earlier, she thought that Celine could be their common enemy. But now that she learned that this woman was planning to use her, she began to dislike her.

Although Rachel was surprised to know that Celine was here, she didn't have any plans of crossing paths with her.

How could she even let other people use her to provoke Celine?

But she heard it clearly. This woman was determined to use her to ruin Celine.

Rachel's eyebrows arched. She felt uncomfortable, but she also wondered how this woman could use her.

After all, these women were strangers to her. And she was pretty sure that they also didn't know her.

Rachel found their plan interesting, so she decided to stay and listen quietly.

She was actually planning to turn a deaf ear to them if she only didn't hear them mentioning her name.

When they stopped talking for a while, Rachel raised her hand and knocked at the screen.

The women suddenly turned quiet.

A few seconds later, she heard someone asked in a nervous voice, "Who is it?"

Rachel didn't answer. She just walked away from the booth quietly.

She was wearing high-heels, but since the floor was thickly carpeted, her footsteps couldn't be heard.

When the women heard the knock, they looked at each other. They were silent for a few seconds until Emma cleared her throat.

She raised her voice and asked, "Who is it?"

But no one answered them. They looked at each other with a puzzled expression on their faces.

They were so engrossed in their conversation that they seemed to have forgotten where they were.

Perhaps someone had overheard them and knocked on the screen to warn them.

They had no idea who it was. This event tonight was not an ordinary occasion, so there were a lot of people invited.

Distress was written all over their faces. They suddenly realized that their behavior was inappropriate for the occasion.

Emma also looked awful, but she to pretend to be tough. She raised her voice more and asked again, "Who's there?"

She tried to peep through the opening of the screen.

When one of the women saw Emma's anxious look, she sniggered. But Emma turned to look at her coldly.

With a cold expression on her face, she sneered, "What? Is something funny?"

The smile on the woman's face disappeared in an instant. She stammered, "I... I didn't mean it."

"Humph!" With contempt, Emma straightened her body and looked at the girls around her.

She gave the women a scornful look. "I know what you are thinking.

But don't forget that you are all involved. If whatever we talked about here comes out, all of you can't escape from this,"

she sneered coldly.

The women had different expressions on their faces. They knew what kind of person Emma was.

Emma was a bossy and hot-tempered woman.

Her friends liked her for being tough and brave.

They had never been worried about gossiping other people in private before.

But this time seemed to be different. Emma was also anxious, and she even threatened them.

One of the women felt it wasn't right, so she tried to defend themselves. "How can you do this to us? We didn't even say anything."

Emma squinted at her and asked, "Are you sure you said nothing?"

The woman retorted, "We are not trying to blame you. But you are overreacting. Why do you have to threaten us like that?"

Emma gave her a sharp glare.

She just felt that they were taking pleasure in her misfortune.

But then she pursed her lips and said, "If you don't want this argument to continue, you better check who that person is."

The woman pouted angrily. "Why do you want me to go there? I'm sure that the person has already left. Besides, I didn't say anything bad against the others."

Emma was now boiling in anger. "So you want to say that I was the only one who said bad things? Are you all pretending to be innocent now?"

Apparently, they were going to fight because of what happened.

But before things could get worse, the women decided to appease Emma. "Let's just forget about it. We are not supposed to argue now."

"Emma, it's not a big deal. Why are you so flustered?"

"Yes, she didn't mean anything else. Don't take it to heart."

Emma was still angry, but she realized that her friends made sense. "Fine! You are right." NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

All of a sudden, they heard a knock again. They all turned around and looked at the screen.

This time, Emma's anger had already dissipated.

The screen moved as someone pushed it.

Their voices might be heard by people passing by, but they didn't think that someone would care to intervene in them.

The person looked at them coldly. It was none other than Rachel.

She flashed a smile and apologized, "Sorry, I entered the wrong booth."

She then walked away.

When the women heard her receding footsteps, they all sighed in relief.

Emma didn't know who she was, so she asked with a frown, "Who the hell was that?"

The other women next to her all looked frightened. One of them called her name in almost a whisper. "Emma."

"What?" she snapped. She looked at them, and she was surprised to see the weird expression on their faces.

Emma got confused.

She didn't know what made them looked so scared.

As she got impatient, she said to them, "If you have nothing else to say, I'll go back to the party now." Her mood was now ruined. Everything seemed not going her way.

Before she could open the door, one woman suddenly said, "That woman... is Mrs. Fu."

Emma was startled and stopped in her tracks.

Another woman said, "The woman that we were talking about was her."

Emma froze. She didn't know how to react.

The woman continued, "Just now, we were speaking ill of her. She might have heard us.

Oh my God!"
