The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146

“I have said everything I should. It’s pretty obvious how Justin thinks of you.” Amber sneered with a scornful look. “Your dearest family is gone just like that and if you still insist on remaining by Justin’s side, I’d feel sorry for Grandma.”

Rachel gripped her chest through the fabric of her shirt; her heart was hurting so much that it was on the verge of exploding from her chest, which caused her exquisite face to contort in pain.

“Are you okay, Rachel?” Janice comforted her. “I’ll get the doctor.”

Upon seeing Amber still standing there, Janice snapped, “What are you still here for? Get lost!”

Amber was so frightened by Janice’s tone that she stumbled a step backward. “Sheesh, fine. Don’t worry, I’m leaving. Do you think I’d want to stay here any longer than I should?”

The click of high heels then disappeared down the corridor.

Janice was about to call for the doctor when Rachel stopped her from doing so.

“What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?”

Rachel gritted her teeth because she was so depressed that she couldn’t even sign her words.

She finally opened her mouth a while later, but only blood came out.

“Rachel!” Janice paled.

The moment that the infusion needle found a vein, the doctor reduced the rate of infusion as he elaborated, “She’s experiencing some strong emotions now. So, she should rest and recover in a more peaceful environment; she must not be provoked a second time.”

“Okay, understood. Sorry for the trouble, doctor.”

“No problem. I’m just doing my job.”

It was after the doctor left that Rachel gradually regained her consciousness.

Janice took a seat by Rachel’s bedside. “Are you alright?”

Rachel didn’t affirm or deny the notion since her mind was filled with Amber’s words.

Justin was the cause behind Nancy’s kidnapping. Even though Rachel had begged him to save Nancy, he didn’t do anything about it. Not only that, he even reported it to the cops, which caused the kidnapper to kill the hostage.

As he had indirectly caused Nancy’s death, it made him a murderer.

“It’s reasonable to call the police under those circumstances.”

Janice draped the blanket over Rachel as she assured, “Don’t think too much about what Amber said. She just wanted to see you suffer, so she just came to add fuel to the fire.”

She is right, though.

Rachel reached out and passed Janice a pen drive.

“What’s this?”

When I was in Brookville, Justin took me to a gathering where I met a girl, who asked me to pass this to you.

Janice’s pupils constricted as she stared at the pen drive in disbelief. “Is her name Coraline Harper?”

Rachel nodded.

After being stunned for a long while, Janice asked, “Have you looked at its contents?”

With the shake of her head, Rachel responded.

From the moment that Coraline had passed the pen drive to her, Rachel never had the chance to decipher what was inside the pen drive. Still, she guessed that it was somewhat related to the deal between Justin and that group of people. It must be related to the matter leavesdropped on last time.

Janice was slightly shocked. “You want to get revenge on Justin?”

An eye for an eye.

Rachel’s face was pale and due to all the tears that she had shed, her eyes were reddened and swollen beyond recognition. However, at that moment, her eyes were like a stagnant puddle without any ripples on the surface.

She was helpless on her own since she had no way of having Justin pay for his crimes. However, she knew that the deal itself could help as she was fairly certain that the deal between Justin and President Shaw was illegal.

Janice tightly held onto the pen drive. “Don’t worry, I’ll investigate it right away. If it is really related to Justin, I will throw him into jail with my own hands.”
