The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 218

“I’m not transferring to another school! I want to go to school with Samuel.”

“Haven’t you had enough? I’m doing this for your own good, Charlotte.”

“You’re not!” Charlotte suddenly caught sight of Rachel and instantly burst into tears. She stretched out her arms toward Rachel while saying, “Mommy, Daddy’s bullying me! He wants to transfer me to another school!”

Rachel promptly held her in her arms. “There, there. Stop crying, my dear Charlotte.”

Charlotte cried even louder in an instant. “Daddy won’t let me go to the same school with Samuel.”

Justin, who was the last person on earth who could bear to see Charlotte cry, immediately furrowed his brows.

Rachel promptly asked, “Why would you do that? Charlotte is finally willing to go to school. Besides, the school is pretty nice. I have done an on-site survey of the school, and the teachers there are quite responsible. How could you transfer her to another school at whim?”

“Are all teachers there responsible? Are you talking about the teacher who hit me?”

“That was an accident.”

“An accident?” Justin let out a cold snort. “A school that has such a teacher mustn’t be a nice school. That brat is on good terms with you, so you’d definitely feel easy about sending your son there. I don’t feel easy about letting Charlotte go to that school, though.”

“Can’t you take Charlotte’s own wishes into account for once? Say it yourself, Charlotte. Does Mr. Wade treat you well?”

Charlotte nodded her head while crying. “He’s very nice to me! He’s nice to Samuel and me… I don’t want to go to another school!”

“You heard that, didn’t you?”

“So what?” Justin sounded so resolute that he wouldn’t take no for an answer. “I have already made a decision on this matter, and I’m not asking for anyone’s opinion. You’ll transfer to another school as I’m telling you to.”

“I won’t!”

“Don’t go to school then. Just stay at home and learn from your private tutors like you used to. No one can change my mind on this!” Justin said. After finishing his sentence, he slammed down his cutlery, shot Rachel a cold glance, and stormed out of the dining room without looking back.

Rachel instantly clenched her fists as a shudder suddenly swept over her. The look Justin shot at her just now was so chilling as if it instantly swept her back six years in time to those days where she was left at his disposal and the nightmares that terrified her. She couldn’t help feeling there was something different in the way he looked at her.

…

The next day, Lisa knocked on the door and came in soon after Rachel arrived at the office. “Miss Hudson, the President’s office just called to inform us that we’ll be receiving a herbal supplier at 10.00AM. They told you to get ready and go upstairs before that for a meeting.”

“Haven’t we always ordered herbs from the same supplier? Is President Burton planning to order from someone else instead?”

“I’m not sure about this, but the supplier seems to have quoted a price lower than the market rate.”

“Okay, I got it.”

Rachel was deep in thought after Lisa left. Why the sudden change of the herbal supplier? Not only that, Justin even bypassed me and ordered the change. As the acting sales director of Burton Pharmaceuticals, I haven’t gotten wind of this at all.

Before 10.00AM, Rachel went to Justin’s office with the medicinal product catalog. “Hi, Miss Hudson.” Frankie stopped her at the door.
