The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111

Justin looked visibly stunned at first, but he calmed down soon afterward. He then asked indifferently, “Did you come all the way to question me just because of this?”

Rachel’s eyes were bloodshot, and her hands kept trembling. A human life is so unworthy of notice in your eyes. You were the one who did it!

Seeing how aggrieved Rachel was, Justin immediately boiled with rage. He replied with a sneer, “Who cares if I’m the one who did it? This is Riverdale! What can you, a mute illegitimate daughter, do to me?”

Rachel’s eyes were bloodshot. Amid Gloria’s scream, she suddenly picked up a bronze figurine from the desk and struck Justin on the head with it.

“Ouch!” Justin let out a loud cry of pain as he failed to dodge in time. Gloria ran toward them like crazy and pushed Rachel away before asking, “Are you okay, Justin?”

The man covered his forehead with his hand. Blood seeped through his fingers and trickled down the scar on the corner of his eye to his neck, making him look fiercely menacing.

Rachel then slumped to the ground, her eyes full of despair and fearlessness. Hans is dead, and Justin’s the one who did it. I must avenge him!

Gloria stood in front of Justin and yelled like crazy to those outside, “Guards! Where are the security guards?”

People soon burst into the room, and Rachel was dragged away by the security guards as she continued to clutch the bronze figurine. Before she left, she glared furiously at Justin with a look in her eyes that was terrifying-it was as though she would definitely kill him once she had the opportunity.

Justin felt so suffocated, and it seemed like his chest was about to burst while he watched Rachel being marched away. She actually wants to kill me and then herself for the sake of that guy!

“I’ll take you to the hospital.” Gloria looked anxious as she supported Justin with her hand.

Janice was the first person to visit Rachel after she was sent to the police station. “I heard about what happened. You’re too impulsive-how could you get yourself into such a state?”

Merely half a day had passed, but Rachel’s eyes were deeply sunken with exhaustion. She looked like nothing but skin and bones; it was as though she was merely a body without a soul. Upon hearing Janice’s words, she turned up the corner of her mouth to form an aggrieved smile. I’m the one who got Hans killed. I’m guilty.

“The prosecutors are already collecting the evidence. Since Justin is the prime suspect, I suppose he’ll receive a subpoena from the court very soon.”

What can I do?

“You can testify as a witness. He broke Hans’ leg, didn’t he?”

Rachel nodded while gritting her teeth hard. Now that things had turned out this way, she was no longer afraid of anything. If the worst came to the worst, she would fight to the bitter end to send Justin-that murderer-to jail.

Janice clenched her fists and remarked frostily, “Had you been willing to testify long ago, such a thing probably wouldn’t have happened, nor would have Hans died.”

Janice had always been outspoken, and her words stabbed Rachel in the heart where it hurt the most like a knife, reminding her that what killed Hans was not Justin but her indecision.

Meanwhile, in the Hudson Residence, Amber was shocked when she heard the news. “What? Rachel

wounded Justin?”

Jefferey was putting on his overcoat in a hurry to go out. “How can that be fake? The police department has even called me! She really is out of her mind! How dare she hit her husband? She’s putting us Hudsons in jeopardy!”

“Wait a minute, Dad.” Amber grabbed Jefferey’s arm as he was about to leave. “How on earth did that happen? With her disposition, she wouldn’t have the nerve to do such a thing unless she was driven into a corner.”

“Does being driven into a corner justify her hitting him? She really is insane!” Jefferey was burning with anxiety, fearing that the Burton Family would be displeased with the Hudson Family for this. Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ recently acquired shares might all be transferred back into Justin’s hands by then; their company would be handicapped at every turn, and Jefferey would no longer remain in his position as the company’s chairman. Since he didn’t have time to explain more to Amber, he left home in a hurry.
