Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 86: Debt
Jack didn't expect Rachel to suddenly show up.He was stunned for a moment, a weird expression on his face.
"I… You know nothing.When you were born and your mother was in the hospital, I had to take charge of the Bennet Group.You have no idea how much work that was.I was working around the clock, so I…"
Rachel had enough of his excuses.
"You were so busy that you didn't have time to visit my dying mother.Is that what you're saying?" She took a seat on the sofa, crossed her legs and leaned back, looking straight into Jack's eyes.
His face pale visibly.
The last thing he wanted to talk about was his ex-wife, Elisa.
Just the mention of her name reminded him of his choice to marry into her family and move in her home.
He couldn't handle the humiliation.
Even though Elisa had been dead for twenty-four years, no matter how hard he tried to forget, he was still living under the shadow of being a kept man.
"Rachel! Is this how you talk to your father? I thought you were raised better than that! There were several matters that needed my attention at that time, and that's why I wasn't with your mother when she breathed her last.Is that so hard to believe?" Jack snapped at his daughter.
"Matters that needed your attention…"
Rachel' sneered, her eyes flashing with anger.
"Perhaps I have been too harsh with you.Running a company is indeed time-consuming! I have a question, though.Since you were so busy at the time, Mr.Jenkins, where did you find the time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for a marriage license? You know, to get married to Caroline.And that was less than a week after my mother's death."
Jack stammered, looking like a flopping fish..
Rachel looked at him through narrowed eyes.
"My mother waited for you three whole days.And you're complaining that you had to wait two hours for me? Trust me, it can never make up to what you have done."
