The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 208

Based on what Amber understood about Justin, she knew he would surely investigate the authenticity of the footage. Justin was a skeptical person, so Amber reckoned he would definitely install surveillance cameras at important places like his bedroom. As for the rest of the matter, she wouldn’t have to worry about it.

Meanwhile, Justin called Frankie with a darkened face and ordered, “Turn on the laptop in my office right now and retrieve the footage of the surveillance camera in my bedroom. I’ll send you the time.”

“President Burton, didn’t you go hiking? Why are you suddenly—”

“Just do as you’re told.”

Frankie was startled. “Yes, sir.”

Moments later, Justin received the footage from his assistant. Based on the timestamps he had provided, Frankie sent him 4 footages.

Justin clicked into the first footage and saw the familiar woman standing in front of his wardrobe while entering a password. All the 3 other footages were similar––the woman had gone straight to his safe after entering his bedroom.

In the last footage, the safe was opened. The scene of the familiar woman taking out documents while uttering something after opening the safe made Justin’s blood boil. His fists slowly curled into a ball while he clenched them tightly to the point his knuckles were cracking. The reason she approached me and Charlotte is not because she misses us!

“Has the call ended?” Seeing Justin’s return, Rachel subconsciously glanced toward the direction of the washroom. “Charlotte is not back yet. I’ll go look for her.”

“Stop there.” Suddenly, Justin hailed her in a solemn tone.

“What’s wrong?” Rachel was confused.

Justin clenched his fist as the content of the footage replayed in his mind. With his eyes filled with coldness, he questioned, “Rachel, what exactly is your intention of coming back?”

Rachel frowned. “Who called you?”

Justin strode forward and seized Rachel’s arm. “Answer me.”

Rachel winced as her frown deepened.

“Let go of me.”

“I asked you to answer my question. What exactly is your intention of coming back?!”

“Justin Burton!” Struggling, Rachel inhaled deeply and gritted her teeth. “Did you forget that you were the one who sent me an invitation and headhunted me from SG Pharma?”

“Indeed, I was the one who headhunted you, but you could reject it!”

“Why should I reject it? Just because you’re in Riverdale? Just because you’re the president of Burton Group? Should I then never set foot in Riverdale for the rest of my life?”

Justin sneered. “You sound so reasonable that you almost got me.”

“I don’t care if you trust me or not.”

“Was it easy to guess the password of my bedroom’s safe?” Justin asked coldly, which stunned Rachel at once.

He knows. No wonder…

Justin tightened his grip on her arm as if he wanted to break it. “I’m asking you one last time. What are you looking for? Why did you come back?”

After a short panic, Rachel forced herself to calm down but did not answer Justin’s question. “Let go of me.”

“What on earth were you looking for in my room?”

Justin approached Rachel while the latter exclaimed as her back was pressed against the edge of the rail. Her body was slanted, so she could fall down the hill at any time if Justin let go of her.
