Trapped In Lace - Chapter 476 Divert His Attention

Marcus, together with Michael and Henry, walked out of the study together.

Eric sighed, stood up, and followed them. His initial plan to leave was delayed because of Jack’s emergency.

That evening, Rachel couldn’t sleep. She just kept on tossing and turning in bed.

She usually slept on time every night. But tonight was different. She couldn’t sleep, no matter how hard she tried because she couldn’t stop thinking about Jack.

After lying in bed for a long time, Rachel opened her eyes desperately. Still, she wasn’t sleepy at all. Thinking that a glass of hot milk might help her fall asleep, she got up and went downstairs.

When she passed by the study, she saw a glimmer of light coming out from the ajar door.

Instead of going to the kitchen, she stopped and pushed the door to the study open. Jack was standing by the window with his back to the door, his shoulders taut and motionless.

She knew that although he looked calm on the surface, he was also worried about his current situation deep inside.

Rachel pursed her lips as she felt a sudden pang in her heart. She gently said, “Jack, why are you not asleep yet?”

Jack turned around and smiled upon seeing her. “Why are you still up?” He walked up to her and helped her sit on the sofa.

Rachel looked up to him and stared at his bloodshot eyes.

Jack had been helping her to deal with Linda’s affairs, so she knew that he hadn’t gotten

deal with, so she didn’t bother him. She continued to walk quietly.

However, James suddenly stopped her. “Rachel, wait. I have something to ask you.”

She stopped. “Uncle James, are you here for me? I thought you’re going to the emergency room.”

James shook his head and showed the newspaper in his hand to her. He then asked with a frown, “What is happening? Why is Jack involved in such a group of bad people now?”

Rachel’s nerves tensed up upon hearing Jack’s name. She took the newspaper from James and looked through the headline. The whole page was news about Jack.

Almost everything about him was mentioned in the news, including Scarlett. Some were real, but most were not.

Worse was, it emphasized the mess that Jack had accidentally got involved in this time.

The content of the news was so persuasive that even the people who initially didn’t believe that Jack could do such a thing might eventually be convinced.

Since it mentioned a lot of negative things that happened to Jack in the past, it could definitely arouse the readers’ interest.

Precisely, the person who wrote this news wanted to destroy Jack deliberately.

Rachel crumpled the newspaper into a ball and tossed it into the trash can nearby. She forced a smile and met James’ concerned eyes. “Uncle James, this is just a misunderstanding. Don’t worry. Jack is dealing with it right now. He’ll definitely handle it well.”
