My mute bride novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158

Rachel had waited for a week at the hospital, but Justin never came. “Mrs. Burton, the discharge procedures are all done, so let’s go.”

Jennifer came over with Rachel’s bag to help Rachel, who waved her hand.

I can walk by myself.

Back at the villa in the southern Suburbs, there were two bodyguards guarding the door like usual; it felt like they were guarding a prisoner with three shifts among six of them.

Jennifer closed the door and comforted, “Mrs. Burton, don’t mind them. Mr. Burton is also worried about your safety, after all, there was an accident here before, and that,”

Before she finished her sentence, she knew she had spoken too much. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Burton, for talking about something so sad.”

If it weren’t for those people barging in at that time, Rachel wouldn’t have lost her baby. Her complexion was bleak as she barely smiled at Jennifer.

It’s nothing. Justin hasn’t returned from his business trip yet?

“Um, I’ll make a phone call and ask. You can rest for a while.”

Jennifer left with the phone while Rachel sat on the couch and took some newspapers from the coffee table. The villa in the southern Suburbs had not been inhabited for quite some time, which resulted in the newspapers accumulating on the coffee table during this period. Nevertheless, the one at the top was the latest edition.

Rachel flipped through it and she was attracted by the front-page headline of the financial page. President of Burton Group and Fiancée Set Up Charity Foundation to Help Lost Children.

The photo on the page showed Justin and Amber arm in arm as they smiled slightly at the reporters. They looked compatible together and the content of the interview was even more suggestive.

‘It is reported that when this charity foundation was established, Justin personally donated 100 million for start-up capital as an engagement gift to his fiancée…

Rachel put down the newspaper and turned over to the older newspapers of the previous days. It was only then that she realized that all the news since half a month ago were on these, and that the entire Riverdale had known about the charity foundation he founded for Amber. While looking at the picture of the man and woman standing side by side in the newspaper, Rachel’s hand holding the newspaper trembled slightly. This is what Justin meant when he said that he was busy with a business trip abroad?

“Mrs. Burton, Mr. Burton said earlier on the phone that things are almost done and he will come back tonight.” Jennifer came in from outside with great enthusiasm.

Rachel, however, was no longer in the living room. A slight clicking sound of the door closing came from the bedroom and it echoed in the house.

When Jennifer fell asleep late at night, Rachel went to the backyard. The cold wind made her cheeks freeze, and just coming out of the house made her wince. She couldn’t help but wrap her jacket tighter around her arms. After looking for a corner where the wind could not reach and making sure there was no one around, she took the information sheets out of her pockets. Then, she took out a lighter and lit a piece of it. Finally, she put the pile of information she brought into the fire one by one.

The past was meaningless, at least in today’s situation where things already came to this point. If she revealed the truth, it would cause both she and Justin to be awkward. She could not accept that the boy she saved before murdered Hans and her grandmother. Justin probably would not accept that she, whom he had taken extreme revenge on, was the Katie for which he avenged. So, the past could never be mentioned.

“What are you doing?” A cold voice suddenly came from behind her. The man’s rapid footsteps had already

arrived before Rachel could react. Thus, she hurriedly threw all the remaining sheets into the fire. The fire quickly rose high, but Justin quickly grabbed two sheets from the inferno. Although she wanted to snatch it from him, it was too late.
