My mute bride novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 203

“Let’s not talk about that. What’s the matter?”

“In your email, you stated that Justin has the videos and rejected news articles from that time, but I couldn’t find them in his safe at home. It didn’t look like he would keep them anywhere else in his house.”

Thoughtfully, Janice admitted, “Five years ago, he went to the investigation hall to look for me not long after you left.”

“Why did he look for you?”

“I’m not sure. My secretary told me that he brought some documents, but I wasn’t at the office at that time. So, we agreed to meet on another day, but he didn’t show up.”

Documents? Rachel narrowed her eyes. “What kind of documents?”

“I didn’t get to see them, and I couldn’t contact him. After that, his attitude toward the Hudsons took a 180-degree turn. From harboring deep-seated hatred and using any means to get rid of them from Riverdale’s market, to supporting their every move. Since I wasn’t able to meet him in person and the Burtons kept a tight lip on everything, I couldn’t find out anything about the situation at that time. ”

Suddenly, Rachel realized something. “This must have something to do with his amnesia.”

“Justin has amnesia?” Janice was surprised to hear so. “When did that happen?”

Rachel shook her head. “I’m not sure myself, but he didn’t recognize me when I first came back. Up till now, he still doesn’t remember what happened between us back then and even forgot that he was abducted by human traffickers when he was a child.”

“That explains it. I couldn’t wrap my head around his sudden change of attitude toward the Hudsons before this.”

“I’m afraid he probably doesn’t even remember what the video evidence was anymore.”

Hearing this, Janice furrowed her brows. “Seems that way. But it seems a bit weird. Even if Justin has lost his memories, why did the Burtons have to hide it from him and even agreed to his marriage with Amber?”

“It must be Old Mr. Burton’s doing. At that time, he did say that he didn’t want Justin to dwell on what happened when he was a child, so he made me leave.”

“So, the Burtons are keeping him in the dark.”

“Exactly.”

Janice was deep in thought. “If that’s the case, then Justin wouldn’t have the evidence anymore since Old Mr. Burton wants to keep the past from him.” Then, she continued, “The evidence must be at Old Mr. Burtons.”

When Rachel heard this, she froze.

“There’s one more thing that I didn’t get to tell you in the email because I wasn’t sure,” Janice reminded Rachel.

“Go ahead.”

“I suspect there’s something going on between Jason and Sue. She was well aware of your grandmother’s kidnapping and talked to him frequently on the phone. ”

Rachel squinted. Jason and Sue?

Back then, it was Jason who kidnapped Nancy, so Rachel was determined to bring him to justice regardless of whether she would leave or not. However, it never occurred to her that the Burtons would find someone else to take the fall.

Jason, the murderer, was still at large. Things are smooth sailing for wicked people like Jason, Jefferey, Sue, and Amber. How will Hans rest in peace if I didn’t come back? Rachel clenched her fists.

“I’ll try to get closer to Justin and make him bring me to the Burtons’ summer villa. Old Mr. Burton should be there during this time of the year.”

“Be careful.”

“I will.”

Soon, it was the weekend and the skies were bright and clear.

Early in the morning, Rachel and Jolly got ready to head out with Samuel. Jolly, who was wearing a flowy sundress, almost had her wide-brimmed sun hat stuck at the door.
