The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 201

“I have something to do, so let’s end it here today. I’ll have a good chat with Uncle Jason about my parents on another day,” Rachel said before leaving.

Besides investigating the cause of Hans’ death, she came back to run a thorough investigation on the murder of her mother. To her, it didn’t matter that the prosecution period had expired.

She could not hold it in anymore, so she told Jefferey that she knew everything. She bet that he would not be able to sit still after hearing so. After all, what right did a murderer have to live in peace?

At that moment, his face turned white and grim as he stood at the desk.

Never had he thought that her memories from when she was a child would come back all of a sudden––not to mention events that occurred more than 20 years ago. What she had said earlier terrified him and sent chills down his spine.

He clenched his fists tightly as he watched her leave. No… If she remembers everything when she was a child, then… She should know about the secret prescription.

Immediately, he made a call. “Hey, it’s me. Help me check on Burton Pharmaceuticals’ latest product. Send me the ingredients list and lab report of the traditional medicine used as soon as possible. There’s no need to specify the dosage. Just the ingredients will do. Hurry!”

The man on the other side of the phone sounded puzzled. “Why do you want to check on their latest product all of a sudden? Is something wrong?”

“I suspect that Rachel has recalled the Hudsons’ prescription and gave it to the Burtons. That ungrateful brat!” Jefferey’s face darkened.

Hearing this, the man on the phone did not know what to say.

Meanwhile, Samuel and Charlotte were having a good time with each other in the lounge. As she kept piling up snacks beside him, she bubbled, “Samuel, eat this. It’s really good!”

“Thank you.”

“There’s no need to thank me.”

Then, he remembered something halfway through eating the snacks. “Charlotte, how did you know that I’m your brother?”

Putting on a serious face like a little adult, she chided, “I’m your older sister! I saw Daddy say it himself on TV.” Then, she continued, “I’m the youngest at home all this while, so they thought that they could fool me and find me a stepmother since I’m just a kid. Now that you’re here, he’s going to think twice before getting me a stepmother.”

“Why would his decision change if I’m here?”

“Are you stupid?” Her eyes widened. “Daddy listens to me, and Mommy listens to you. They’ll definitely get back together if we create opportunities for them. ”

Scratching his head, he replied, “But I never wanted them to get back together… He treats Mommy badly. Besides, Mommy has many admirers.”

“Daddy has many admirers too! But you need to remember that we’re children from their previous marriage. People who are pursuing our parents don’t actually like us when they say they do.”

“I don’t think so… Mr. Peters and Hernandez like me. They even attended the parent-teacher conference for me.”

“Uncle Julian?” She was stunned. “He’s also pursuing Mommy?”

“I think so. Mr. Peters and Hernandez always quarrel as soon as they see each other. Godmother said that they are love rivals fighting for Mommy’s favor.”

Feeling a sense of crisis, she cried, “What? We can’t let that happen! We must be on the same side. Do you want to be separated from me and Daddy forever? And what will happen to you if Mommy has other children with another man?”

After a moment’s hesitation, he agreed, “I guess that’s true…”
