My mute bride novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 319

Chapter 319

Justin responded in a cold voice. “It takes two to tango.”

“I don’t have the time to debate this with you. Hurry up and search for them!” Ryan looked around. Unfortunately, he only met Jason a handful of times before and did not recall how the other party looked.

There was no way he could easily spot Jason from among the crowd, so he could only glance back at Justin.

Justin glanced at a spot in the distance. “There.”

Following Justin’s gaze, Ryan saw Jason standing by the bar in the distance. Jason was holding a glass of wine in his hand while gaily chatting with the people around him.

Ryan was about to head there when he was stopped by Justin. “You don’t need to go there.”

Upon hearing those words, he became pensive for a moment and immediately understood what Justin meant. The two of them were not very familiar with the situation on this ship. If they acted together, then it would be over for both of them if they were to encounter any danger. Not only would they lose everything, but they wouldn’t even have a corpse to bury.

“I’ll wander around.”

“Okay.” After watching Ryan leave the banquet hall, Justin finally turned around and walked toward Jason.

Jason was discussing ‘business’ with his friends. During this time every year, he would make a lot of money through this banquet. It was also his highest and most triumphant time of the year.

He was savoring his triumph when he suddenly noticed a familiar figure coming toward him out of the corner of his eyes. The sight startled him.

“Jason.” Justin’s expression was frosty and his manner of speech was rather aloof. “Long time no see.”

Jason was very puzzled. “Why are you here?”

“Don’t you know, Jason? Don’t you know why I came here?”

He quickly snapped back to his senses and studied Justin pensively. “You came to find Rachel. Don’t worry.

She is safe and sound. She is only accompanying me for some events at the banquet after all. We are business partners now. Don’t you think you are making a huge fuss out of a molehill?”

“Then, where is she right now?”

“After our business talks, she returned to the room to rest. This ship is so large that it’s possible that she is taking a stroll on her own. What’s wrong? Can’t you contact her?”

He was asking this question despite knowing the answer. It was impossible for a personal phone to send out any messages on this ship. Likewise, the phones specially provided on the ship were as useless as scrap metal if one did not have the other party’s contact information.

At present, he was the only person who knew Rachel’s whereabouts and whether she was safe.

Justin had no choice but to mediate with Jason. “Jason, I have no interest in knowing what kind of business you’ve been doing over the years in the name of the Burton Group. However, I will not sit idly by if you drag Rachel into this mess.”

“Those words displease me. Did you think I dragged her into these affairs? I’m afraid you’ve underestimated her abilities.”

“It has not been long since Rachel returned to the country. No matter how capable she is, she won’t be able to board the Golden Cruise. Isn’t that right?”

The invitation came from Jason. If Rachel had not heard about the news from the secretary, Justin would not be going crazy right now because he could not get in contact with her.

“Jason, you had better tell me now. Where is Rachel?”

“What kind of attitude is that?” Jason’s expression was astonished. He observed Justin’s anxious and impatient appearance, then he immediately said coldly, “Didn’t you grow out your own wings? Find her yourself!” After saying that, he glanced at his watch. “I still have friends to meet.”
