The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174

Blinking, Rachel spread her hands and sighed. “We were once married, after all. I’ve only been gone for five years, and you’ve wiped me out of your mind completely. How heartless of you, Justin Burton.”

Looking at his shocked expression, Amber couldn’t help but turn stiff.

When the exhibition ended, Justin left Amber at the venue and left by himself. “What the hell is going on?” he shouted at Frankie the moment he got back to his office in Burton Group. “Isn’t she dead already? So what’s this now? A zombie?”

With his forehead covered in cold sweat, Frankie explained tentatively, “Back then, the doctor said that you couldn’t deal with another blow, so the old master ordered everyone not to mention a word about Mrs. Burton and to just say that she’s dead…”

“So none of you ever told me about any details of her, and there isn’t even a picture?”

“It’s true that there were no pictures.”

“What?”

Sighing helplessly, Frankie said, “You should ask Old Mr. Burton about Mrs. Burton. Please don’t put me in a tight spot.”

He was just an employee, and Arthur had already made his orders very clear. So, since five years ago, nobody dared to mention the name ‘Rachel in front of Justin. But, who would dare to?

Seeing how furious he was, Frankie asked cautiously, “Um, President Burton, should I tell the HR department to prepare for her dismissal?”

“Her dismissal?” Justin shot him an angry glare. “We poached her from SG Pharma, and it took us six months to find someone as outstanding as her. Who will replace her if she’s dismissed?”

While Frankie was displaying a sheepish expression, Justin added, “Keep her for now. And tell the HR department to keep looking for a suitable candidate.”

“Yes, President Burton. But, aren’t you the least curious about what happened in the past?”

For the past five years, nobody dared to mention Rachel, and neither did Justin ask anyone about her.

“Not at all,” he answered curtly. “I’m just concerned about the results she can bring to Burton Pharmaceuticals.”

Silently, Frankie gushed, He’s indeed fit to be the boss! Even if he has lost his memories, he isn’t a tiny bit interested to know anything about his ex-wife even though she showed up right in front of him now. Hats off to his level of indifference!

At the same time, Rachel had just returned to her office in Burton Pharmaceuticals. She was on the phone with Jolly while flipping through some documents.

“So, he really doesn’t remember anything about you at all?”

“Yeah,” Rachel answered. “It really seems like he remembers nothing at all.” She was the one who first brought up the term ‘ex-wife, and the shock he showed didn’t seem staged at all.

“During the past few days, I’ve been checking up on his situation over the years. Everything seemed pretty normal except for one thing.” Jolly said.

“What is it?”

“It’s my dad who told me this. Five years ago, Burton Group was openly and secretly suppressing Hudson Pharmaceuticals. It was obvious to everyone that they were in a rush to acquire it. However, at that time, the Burton Group suddenly put an end to their acquisition and left it unchecked.”

Rachel frowned. There were too many points that baffled her, and she couldn’t figure anything out for the moment. “Let’s leave this for now. Regardless whether he really lost his memories or how much he forgot, I’ll still go ahead with the things I want to do without a change of plans.”

“So, what do you plan to do now?”

“I think the surveillance evidence might be in his house, so I’m planning to make a trip there.”

The next afternoon, Rachel appeared at Justin’s mansion with some documents, and she pressed on the doorbell.

Ding dong, ding dong.

“Coming!” the servant said from the inside. “Hello, may I know who you are?”

“I have something here for President Burton,” Rachel began and showed the servant her business card. “He told me to wait for him at his home.”

After the servant took a look at the business card, her expression remained unchanged. “I’m sorry, but you should look for Mr. Burton at the company. He has instructed us not to allow anyone into the house if it’s regarding work.”

Then, the servant shut the door with a loud bang in her face.
