Chapter 37
It was only until Rachel left the room that Justin took the tea next to him and had a sip.
The Earl Grey tea had a thick fragrance and the light flavor of the milk balanced out the bitterness perfectly. The fragrance mixed with the aroma of the room and it had a calming effect. He was actually lost in his thoughts when he heard the door of the next room close.
After Rachel took care of her grandma in the hospital for a few days, the latter had a great recovery.
This afternoon, Rachel was getting some things in a convenience store nearby. As soon as she walked out of the store, she saw a figure in a suit bow slightly to her. “Miss Hudson, Old Master Burton wants to see you.”
The person was none other than Arthur’s personal butler. This time around, it seemed like Arthur wanted to meet her.
Ever since Justin took over the Burton Group, Arthur had already retired and he rarely appeared in Riverdale anymore. It was rumored that he would go to a mansion in the suburbs of Riverdale every summer to avoid the heat. Apart from that season, even the family members of the Burton Family would normally not be able to see him too.
After Rachel got into the car, she fidgeted with her fingers anxiously as she watched the scenery outside the window going backward.
It was most likely that the butler noticed her anxiety, so he consoled her, “Miss Hudson, you don’t have to worry. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) After all, you have already married Young Master Justin. It’s time to pay a visit to the elderly in the family.”
Upon hearing that, Rachel pursed her lips and nodded politely.
At this moment in the summer mansion in the suburbs, Sue appraised Tina Burton from head to toe as the former complimented sweetly, “It’s been a while since I last saw you and you’ve grown into a fine young woman.”
Tina was Justin’s cousin and she was the only daughter of his paternal uncle. She had been spoiled since young, which resulted in her short temper. However, she knew how to please Arthur.
Currently, she was sitting beside Arthur as she replied with a chuckle, “You look younger too, Aunt Sue.”
Sue sighed. “Young? Not at all. I’m so worried that the white hair on my head has increased.”
“What’s wrong?” Tina blinked in response. “Is there something that is troubling you? Let us know so that Grandpa can help you out.”
“It’s not that I want to speak ill of this but based on Justin’s character and family background, it is impossible for him to marry a mute. If you knew this, you wouldn’t have agreed, would you?”
Meanwhile, Arthur was sitting in a master chair. He had a white beard on his face, and he looked stern
he has already made a decision, I’m sure he has his own reasons for doing so. Even though the young lady of the Hudson Family has a speech disability, she might be good at something else.”
Arthur had done his research and he knew that Rachel had graduated with a masters degree. Even though she had never inherited her family business, she had a stable job and was also a humble person. No matter what, she was still the young lady of a prestigious family. It was better to marry her than to marry someone who just wanted the wealth of the Burton Family.
“Good at something else? Well…” Sue frowned and muttered, “We can skip this topic. I feel(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)
embarrassed even by just talking about it. It’s fine if they just have a quarrel among their family members. It’s not a good thing to expose the flaws of the family to the public after all, but it was on the news.”
“The news?” However, before Arthur could say anything, Tina opened her mouth. “I’ve also heard about that. I thought Justin had resolved everything?”
“What news?” Arthur asked with a frown.
“Don’t you know?” Tina immediately took her phone out. “This is it. I wanted to tell you this but before could do that, an explanation had been published. Since that was the case, I didn’t want to disturb your rest.”
“If he doesn’t even have the ability to handle this, he doesn’t have to be the president of Burton Group anymore,” Arthur announced with a dark expression. “Rachel has only joined our family for such a short time, yet she already caused so much trouble. It’s clear that she’s up to no good.” She’s just a mute. How could she have stirred up such trouble? It’s unreasonable!
