My mute bride novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165

“What are you doing, Victor?” Gloria caught up to him.

Victor, however, picked up the document on the table. The first thing he saw was the stamp of the most famous media outlet in Riverdale, but what caught his attention was the content. It was shocking to say the least. “Burton’s the one who killed Hans!”

“Impossible! You’re lying!”

“See for yourself.” Victor handed the document to her.

The document detailed an illegal transaction that happened near a hospital. There were even pictures to prove it. The one who was holding the safe box was the same person who pulled Hans into the van

-it was none other than one of Justin’s bodyguards.

“Winston?” Gloria asked, recognizing the bodyguard right away.

“He’s the one who took Hans. What do you have to say for Burton now?”

All the color drained from her face when she heard that. “No. This is a misunderstanding. Even if Winston’s behind Hans’ death, that doesn’t mean Justin ordered him to kill Hans. No, there’s no way

Justin would do that. He wouldn’t!”

“He wouldn’t do it? What a farce.” Victor snereed. “Didn’t you hear what his assistant said? They had this for a long time and there is even a video too. If he’s not guilty, why did he spend five million on this?” With that, he took the document and was about to walk out of the room.

“Where are you going?”

“To the cops. I’m reporting this.” Hans was hospitalized because of me. Truth was, Victor had been feeling guilty about it ever since he talked with Rachel. He wanted to apologize but alas, Hans was murdered before he could. Victor knew he could never make it up to Hans anymore, so the only thing he could do was expose the murderer so Hans could rest in peace.

“Victor, are you mad? Hold it right there!” Gloria quickly got in his way. “You can’t report this to the cops.”

“You’re helping that b*stard?”

“No. This is for your own good! Do you think you can get Justin arrested just because you have this information? This is just a trouble magnet.” Gloria gritted her teeth. “Even if he’s really the murderer, he’s just going to get alarmed if he finds out about this.”

Upon hearing that, Victor paused.

Since he was starting to calm down, Gloria extended her hand and reassured, “Listen to me. Give me that article and pretend you never saw this.”

Victor, however, doubted her. “You’ll look into this?”

“I’ve been looking into this for a long time now,” Gloria insisted. “I’ve been looking for Rachel for ages. You can help me out if you want to.”

Meanwhile, Victor was still holding the five-million-dollar article, suspicious about Gloria. “And how can I know you’re not trying to get rid of this evidence for Justin? How do I know you won’t kill me just like he killed Hans?”

“Get rid of the evidence? Me?” Gloria glared at him furiously. A short while later, she stomped on Victor’s foot.

“Ow!” Victor gasped in pain. “What was that for?”

“I wouldn’t have taken you with me earlier if I wanted to kill you. You’d already be dead by now.”

Victor was gasping from the pain, and Gloria took the article from him. “What are you doing? Give that back!”

“You’ll really die if I give this back to you.” She glared at him and put it back on the table. “Give me your phone.”
