My mute bride novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277

Jason glowered. “What do you mean by that? Is that how you speak to your elders?”

“It clearly depends on how you handle things!” There was nothing but resentment on Justin’s face. “Give her another trouble and I’ll end you!” With that, he dragged the woman away. “Let’s go, Rachel.”

Rachel turned back and gave Jason a glance, having no intention to defend him. Before their partnership was established, he was nothing more than an enemy, so she had no obligation to defend him and relieve the tension between him and his nephew. By standing on Justin’s side, she could easily show him the reason to give her proposal a thought.

After leaving the golf club, Justin took a careful look at Rachel. “He didn’t do anything to you, did he? Are you hurt?”

“No. I’m fine, really. I barely said a word when you arrived.”

“Did he ask to meet you?”

“Yeah.” Rachel nodded. “I came here from the hospital right after I got his call.”

“Aren’t you a little too ballsy? You blatantly agreed on meeting him without knowing what he might have done to you. He’s not even afraid to kill someone to shut them up, yet you still came to see him? Do you have a death wish?” There were definitely traces of anger in his scowl. To be fair, he had to hit the guess all the way here from Burton Group just to make sure she was fine.

Rachel replied, “Look, I’m really fine! Plus, I knew you’d come.”

When Justin heard her reply, his face twitched and it quickly soothed. After managing to calm down after a while, he grabbed Rachel’s hand. “Even so, you still shouldn’t pull such a risky stunt. Don’t ever interact with him again. He’s clearly unrighteous.”

Unrighteous? Rachel scanned her eyes all over him, and when he looked over, she swiftly withdrew her gaze. After having lost his memory, Justin had become an entirely different human being. The Justin she knew would do anything-kind or evil-in order to attain his goals nor would he miss out on the opportunities and resources to fulfill his desire. He was truly a man of selfish brutality.

Contrastingly, the current Justin was like an infant lovingly nurtured into a philosopher that was most enthusiastic about discussions of righteousness. Perhaps that was one of the reasons why Arthur had Jason walk down the “indecent” path.

Rachel then assured, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”

“By the way, Frankie told me that you were the one who successfully closed the deal with Mr. Onfroy.”

“Yup, it’s all over the news, so I didn’t manage to report it to you beforehand. You’re not blaming me, are you?”

“How could I? You’re a hundred times more helpful than the guys in PR. How did you persuade him anyway?”

Remaining a straight face, Rachel started giving her rehearsed speech. “It’s not that difficult, really. He simply wanted an explanation. Apology, reimbursement-those are but the basics. Of course, we’ll still have to take his pride into consideration. And most importantly, helping him resolve his biggest issue.”

“And what issue is that?”

“Mr. Onfroy was reluctant against the demolition of his house mainly because he couldn’t find a suitable study area for his children once he settled in the resettlement house. Therefore, I promised to arrange an education plan for his children.

Justin ponderingly nodded as he clutched her hand. “You’re exceptionally insightful, yet you’re only a manager. I’m wasting your talents away, aren’t I?”
