Chapter 90
What message? Rachel asked In return.
“Oh no.” Julian’s face darkened, for he heard a series of hurried footsteps outside the door.
“This is the room, Justin. I saw them heading in with my own eyes. They’re even doing this in the middle of the day! They don’t show any respect toward you at all,” the voice said. Rachel’s expression
grew stern the moment she realized that the voice belonged to Amber. Their visitors jabbed on the doorbell continuously, each ‘ding dong’followed by the next.
“Unlock the door.” Justin’s ice-cold voice sounded from behind the door.
“Sure, Mr. Burton,” Amber replied.
Right then, Rachel turned to see Julian looking as pale as a ghost. She couldn’t imagine how things would turn out if Justin saw her dressed in a robe and sharing a room with Julian.
Beep beep. The door was opened from outside. Amber was the first to cry out at the top of her voice. “I can’t believe you’re actually doing such things behind Justin’s back, Rachel!”
Justin strolled into the room with his long legs, and the look in his eyes made him look like he was about to murder someone. The scar on his face made him seem more sinister than ever.
Rachel felt a shudder down her spine. Amber, on the other hand, was pleased with herself. She had initially intended to snap a few pictures and let them be, but she happened to hear that Justin was back in town after a business trip. Therefore, she decided to change her plan and get Justin to drop by instead.
“It’s a misunderstanding, Justin.” Julian frowned.
“A misunderstanding?” Justin muttered in a hostile tone. “Give me an explanation then. What sort of misunderstanding is this?”
For some reason, Rachel felt a sense of hopelessness when she saw the look on Justin’s face. You won’t believe me regardless of what I say, right?
“I believe in my own eyes,” Justin replied flatly. The air was silent around them for a while before Amber shifted her gaze upon Rachel. “Your acts are an embarrassment to the Hudson Family. Rachel, I can’t believe you’d still do this even though Justin has been so nice to you all along.”
Nice? Rachel thought bitterly. There was a tight lump forming in her throat. He hurt me one time after another, and he left injuries all over me. He even has other women outside! He has never trusted me before. Is this what others would consider as a ‘nice person?
Justin’s gaze shot toward Rachel when he caught a whiff of the alcoholic scent in the air. “Were you drinking?”
No.
“No?” Justin asked again.
“Wait a second, guys.” Julian spoke up to cut Justin off before looking at Amber. “You seem really certain that Rachel and I came over to get a room. I was wondering… How did you find out about this?”
Amber’s expression stiffened Immediately. “… I had a friend that happened to pass by. My friend told me about this, so I immediately gave Justin a phone call.”
“Your friend? Does this person look like your friend?” Julian pulled his phone out and played the footage he had obtained from the hotel lobby. An hour ago, a man in a raincoat was seen carrying Rachel out of the car. The man brought Rachel all the way up to the hotel room, and soon enough, Amber was seen rushing up behind them.
