My mute bride novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 198

At that moment, a woman with a bun tied on her head stretched her back and rotated her neck side to side.

“I did it!”

As Rachel poured Jolly a cup of tea, she cautioned, “Don’t exaggerate. You might be sued for defamation if you try to provoke Amber.”

“What do I have to be afraid of? Do I seem like I’m short of money to pay for the litigation fee and compensation? No matter how long it takes––even if I lose the lawsuit, I’ll let that little b*tch have a taste of what cyberbullying feels like! I’m going to return violence for violence!” Jolly exclaimed.

Then, she continued, “She’s the one who always loves to show off on Twitter by presenting herself as a kind daughter from a wealthy family, being a special host to many health TV programs, being a top student who often gets her paper published, and doesn’t mind that her fiancé has a daughter while promising to be gentle and kind to care for her many years forward.”

The more she said, the more she felt disgusted. Then, she spread out her hands wide open and said, “She’s gentle, modest, courteous, restrained, and magnanimous. She’s literally the epitome of righteousness and the light of the universe that everyone worships!”

Upon hearing this, Rachel shook her head helplessly. “Well, half of it is indeed true. However, things started to crumble when people started praising and worshiping her too much.”

Besides, Amber had many skeletons in her closet.

Jolly would get irritated every time at the mention of Amber.

“She acts as if she’s pretty and rich. My arse! The Hudsons aren’t even half as rich as I am!”

Quietly, Rachel asked, “So, are all pretty and rich women like you?”

“What’s wrong with me?”

Casually picking up a piece of underwear from the chair, Rachel dangled it in front of Jolly with her finger. “A pretty and rich woman who leaves her socks and underwear everywhere in the house.”

With a sheepish smile, Jolly pushed Rachel’s hand away. “I’m a phony, while you’re truly smart, gentle, and virtuous. Well, you’re here at the right time. Wash them for me, will you?”

As soon as Rachel heard that, she rolled her eyes.

Meanwhile, at the Burtons’ villa, Charlotte had been throwing tantrums at Justin for two days. She even locked herself in her own room and refused to come out.

Mrs. Duncan knocked on her door and patiently tried to persuade her to come out of her room, “Miss Charlotte, you only ate very little food during dinner. Come and eat a little something, won’t you? I made some hot chocolate.”

“No, I don’t want to.”

Just as she replied, her stomach rumbled loudly through the door.

“Are you hungry?”

“I’m not!”

At this point, Mrs. Duncan did not know what to do anymore.

Just then, somebody opened the door downstairs. Immediately, she said, “I think sir is back.”

“I don’t care if he’s back! Daddy’s the worst! I don’t want to stay with him anymore!” Charlotte fumed.

Justin was at a loss for words as soon as he saw Mrs. Duncan holding a tray of food outside of Charlotte's room.

“She’s still not eating?”

“I’ve already tried everything, sir.”

Taking the tray from her, he told her, “Go ahead and rest. I’ll do it.”

“Yes, sir.”

After she left, he knocked on Charlotte’s door. “Charlotte?”

“Go away! I don’t want to see you!”

“It’s fine if you don’t want to see me, but you have to eat. Otherwise, how would you meet your mommy if you don’t have enough strength?”

“I know you won’t let me meet her. You’re a bad person!”

After pausing for a moment, he questioned, “Did Mommy come to see you this morning?”

Then, the room fell silent.

From this, he got his answer.

It was very likely that Mrs. Duncan had called Rachel. Knowing that Charlotte was refusing to eat, Rachel made breakfast for her.

Then, Justin said to Charlotte, “I don’t blame you. I’ll bring you to the office tomorrow if you want to see her.”

After a moment of silence, the door finally opened.
