The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169

Night fell.

Jolly came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and walked toward Rachel while drying her hair. “It’s so late already. Why are you still not sleeping? You’ve quit your job, but you’re still staring at the computer in the middle of the night.”

Rachel clicked on an email on the computer and said lightly, “This is an email sent to me by a friend of mine two weeks ago.”

“Is it the friend from the Investigation Bureau?”

“Yup.”

“Let me see.”

Jolly pulled a chair out and sat down next to Rachel.

“This is the case that you’ve been investigating?”

“Yes.”

“It says here that there is a video that can prove that it was your ex-husband who caused the death of your lawyer friend.”

Rachel’s pupils constricted slightly. “Yes.”

Back then, she was abused physically and mentally by Justin; she could hardly protect herself to the point that she had to leave Riverdale in a hurry, so she couldn’t find out who was behind Hans’ death.

After five years, Janice finally received news from a retired media reporter that Justin had bought a top-secret video from the media five years ago-one which was related to the death of Hans.

Jolly finished reading the email. “Is this why you decided to resign and return home all of a sudden?”

“Not only this, but also my grandma’s death. So far, the real murderer has not been found.”

These were the two lives she must get justice for.

Rachel clenched her fists, her expression solemn.

Jolly took her hand. “Chris, I will support you no matter what you do.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you? We’re each other’s ride-or-die. When we arrive back in the country, it’ll be my turf, so when we get there, whoever dares to bully you would have to go through me.”

Rachel’s gaze became much softer, and a faint warmth reflected in her eyes.

Meeting Jolly was the best thing that had happened to her in the past five years.

One month later, at Riverdale International Airport.

The announcement of the flight’s arrival was broadcasted in the lobby, and the voice of the stewardess was sweet and gentle as always.

A red figure ran through the crowd.

 

“Miss!”

“Miss! Please run slowly.”

“Please make way! Look out!”

The small red figure passed through the crowd all the way, and the person pushing the luggage in front of her could not manage to dodge, so the figure crashed directly into them and bounced to the ground like a ball.

“Ouch!”

The adult and child exclaimed at the same time.

The red figure that fell on the ground was a five-year-old girl with a red suspender skirt and two little pigtails. She looked bright and delicate, like a child that had walked straight out of a painting.

Then, her eight bodyguards finally caught up to her.

“Miss, are you okay?”

“Am I okay? Would you be okay if you fell like I did?” The little girl was young, but her eyes were full of deterrence as she glared at them. The big bodyguards in front of her didn’t dare to speak after hearing what she said.

After scolding the bodyguards, the little girl turned around and stared at the person she ran into. “Hey! Didn’t you watch where you were going? And shouldn’t you apologize for crashing into me?”

The other party who was pushing the luggage was a woman wearing jeans and a white shirt; she looked very chic and capable. Her face under the sunglasses was very cold, and her magnetic voice was rather unique. “Hey, kiddo, for all I know, I was only standing here; you were the one who ran into me.”

“You were obviously blocking my way!”

Rachel frowned when she heard this.

It had been a while since she was back here. Who would have thought that she would meet a kid like this as soon as she came back? If parents don’t educate their kids well, they will definitely suffer sooner or later.
