My mute bride novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92

“Who is it?” Janice asked,

My grandmother. Rachel assumed that the whole picture would become clearer once she found out who her mother was, but things only seemed more complicated. Somehow, her mother was Involved in the Hudson Family’s fight for their inheritance that happened all those years ago.

The sun was shining bright on top of her head when Rachel left the restaurant. She saw Hans jogging toward her from a distance away. “I’m sorry I’m late, Rachel. Are you and Janice done talking?”

Yeah. We’re done. Rachel wore a rather stiff look on her face.

“What is it? Why do you look so pale?” Hans asked.

It’s nothing. There are just some things that I need to clarify with my grandmother.

Hans held onto her arm. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

Rachel gave him a nod, but it was clear that she wasn’t paying attention to his question.

“Hey, why don’t you let me send you back?” he offered.

I drove here.

“No. I’d be worried if you had to drive back now,” he replied. Rachel couldn’t reject his stubborn determination in the end. However, neither of them realized a moving figure that had been standing on the street just opposite the restaurant. There were a few cigarette butts lying right beside the man’s feet. “Hello? The person you told me to keep an eye on is going into a car with a man. Do you need me to continue following her? You’ll have to top up some cash for my car ride then,” the person said.

A woman’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Who did she go off with? Did you take any pictures?”

“How am I supposed to know? You didn’t tell me to take pictures,” he replied.

“Take them now.”

“I told you that she already got into the car with someone else. They’ve left.”

“Are you an idiot? I gave you a simple task, and this is what you managed to accomplish?” the woman cried.

The young man’s face darkened when he heard the woman shouting at him through the phone. “Are you scolding me right now? You watch out! I’m not going to entertain you anymore if you scold me again.” The young man ended the call right after finishing his words. He grumpily threw his cigarette butt onto the ground. “F*ck! What was that? How dare she shout at me!”

The young man turned to look at the car opposite the street. He studied the details for a while, even memorizing the car plate number.

Hans stopped his car in the alleyway and stayed there even after Rachel left. He glanced up to look at the light turning on in one of the units. Nancy was both surprised and glad to see Rachel showing up at her front door. “What brings you here today?” she asked.

I have a few questions for you, Grandma.

It was rare for Rachel to be so serious, and Nancy seemed rather taken aback by this. “What is it? Come in and have a seat before we talk.” There was a faint scent of lavender that lingered on the couch. No dilly-dallying was involved-Rachel got straight to her point once she sat down.

I’d like to ask you about my mother, Grandma.

The smile on Nancy’s face faded a little as she looked away to avoid Rachel’s gaze. “Why would you ask about your mother all of a sudden?”
