The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127

Once Justin left, Rachel helped Victor up from the ground.

“I’m fine, Rachel. Are you good?”

As she shook her head, her eyes remained dull.

‘I’m sorry for getting you involved!

“Justin’s simply not human! How could he do that to you? You have a child inside of you!”

Rachel peered at him in shock. ‘How did you know?’

“Well, it’s a long story. I only knew Justin was coming for you thanks to that crippled lady.”

That crippled lady?

Victor explained the entire incident to Rachel, to which she finally understood what went down.

“She claimed to be Justin’s sister, and she acted in such an overbearing manner the entire time. She’s just like Justin, for both of them are very difficult to interact with. After I got to know about it, I hid in the Burton Group’s parking lot the entire evening. When Justin finally showed up, I followed his car all the way here, and that’s how I found you. Don’t worry, Rachel-I’ll take you with me tonight.”

However, Rachel shook her head and brushed the grass off his clothes.

‘We can’t leave just yet.’

“Although they look tough, there’s no way they’ll be guarding the place the entire night. I’m certain that we’ll find a way out!”

Victor was pretty confident with his deduction.

As she peered out of the living room’s window, Rachel saw three to five bodyguards standing in a disorganized manner outside. They looked into the house from time to time and safeguarded every entrance and exit

Alas, Victor is only a young boy.

As expected, while Victor was on guard in the living room for the entire night, the gang outside stayed around for the same amount of time. When dawn came, he was letting out continuous yawns as his eyes reddened while new batches of guards arrived for the next shift.

“F*ck!”

He clenched his fists and uttered, “These b*stards!”

When the sun rose, Frankie sent a maid over.

Victor quickly recognized him, and he asked vigilantly, “Why are you here? Where’s Justin?”

Since he had no intention of debating with the kid, Frankie simply signaled for the maid to do her job.

“This is Madam Mary. She’ll be responsible for taking care of Mrs. Burton from now on.”

However, Victor did not give up and continued, “Do you intend on locking Rachel up in this sh*thole?”

“This is entirely for Mrs. Burton’s safety.”

“What a load of crap! Do you lock a prisoner up for their own safety?”

Upon seeing how Victor was significantly dumber, Frankie realized that he couldn’t be reasoned with, yet he

could do nothing to send him out of the house.

Just then, he suddenly remembered the young master’s order and placed a few books on the table. “If you have nothing better to do, you can read these.”

“What are these?”

“These are books on sign language. It’ll help you communicate better with Mrs. Burton.”

“You think I’d need a lesson from you guys? Why should you care how I communicate with Rachel?”

“Well, it’s entirely up to you!”

Frankie couldn’t be bothered with such nonsense, and he glanced upstairs. He knew that Rachel was already awake but refused to come downstairs, so he shouted, “Mrs. Burton!”

“Do give me a call if you need anything, Mrs. Burton. Mr. Burton will come whenever he’s free.”

However, he received no response from upstairs.

Victor crossed his arms and scoffed, “Seems like you’ve been ignored, you imbecile.”

Frankie shot him a warning glance and said, “Here’s a friendly reminder-don’t try anything stupid, and don’t even think of escaping with Mrs. Burton. Otherwise, she’ll meet the same agonizing fate as you.”

At once, Victor charged toward the door and yelled, “You’d better run, you spineless scum!”

Once Frankie left, the door from upstairs could be heard being pushed open.

“Rachel!”

After he rushed up the staircase with big strides, Victor went to support Rachel. “You’re awake.”

Her face seemed pretty messed up with the pair of dark circles around her eyes.
