The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 226

“That’s right. Are you that surprised?”

“Indeed, I’m a bit surprised. Could it be that you’d like to continue working together with Burton Pharmaceuticals, Mr. Wayne? If that’s the case, we can put off firing Rachel for the time being.”

“Don’t give me that crap! Don’t you dare think I have no idea that you and your wife are just pretending in front of me again. I’m telling you, Justin—your son is in my hands right now!” Mr. Wayne suddenly darted a look at Rachel. “Your woman is now in my hands as well. If you don’t come over, I’ll throw your son into the river and feed the fishes. Guess what will happen to your woman then.”

Justin let out a sneer on the other end of the line. “Are you kidding me, Mr. Wayne? Everyone in Riverdale knows that I only have a daughter. Since when did I get myself a son?”

Mr. Wayne frowned upon hearing Justin’s words.

“As for the boy you kidnapped, I’m also curious about who his biological father is. Please find that out on my behalf before throwing him into the river. As for Rachel, just keep her for yourself if you want to.”

“Justin! You—”

The call was disconnected right away.

Meanwhile, the bodyguards in the theater looked at each other in amazement; this was the first time they had ever seen such a cruel man. Doesn’t he care about his son and woman?

Mr. Wayne glared at Rachel angrily. “You two are pretending in front of me here, aren’t you?”

Rachel replied, “I’ve told you earlier that he doesn’t care about us. Even if we aren’t divorced, you cannot threaten him by abducting us both.”

Mr. Wayne’s face turned livid with anger. Just then, one of the bodyguards suggested, “Mr. Wayne, it seems that Justin Burton cares about his daughter the most. How about we find a way to get her here?”

“Do I need you to say that?” Mr. Wayne shot a glare at the bodyguard. “I would have gotten her here a long time ago if I could!” Charlotte had bodyguards around her all year round, and no ordinary person could get close to her. Evidently, this showed how much Justin cared about her.

Rachel pleaded anxiously, “Please let us go, Mr. Wayne. We mean nothing to Justin, so it won’t work if you try to get even with him by using us.”

“Do you think I’m a fool? If I let you go, you’ll call the police as soon as you get out of there, won’t you?”

“I won’t, Mr. Wayne. I swear that I’ll never call the police,” Rachel replied. “After all, I have no evidence to prove that you’ve abducted Samuel. Even if I call the police, there’s no way to build a case against you. As long as you let us off, I’ll pretend that nothing ever happened. I’m just a nobody, Mr. Wayne. It isn’t worth it to ruin your business in Riverdale and the standing you’ve enjoyed for so many years because of me.”

Mr. Wayne seemed to be persuaded by Rachel’s words. He waved his hand and ordered, “Let them get out of here!”

One of the bodyguards dragged Samuel to his feet and pushed him to Rachel’s side. “Did you hear that? He’s telling you two to get lost! Hurry up and get out of here!”

Rachel immediately lifted Samuel up. “Thank you, Mr. Wayne.”

It was somewhat dark outside, and the rain poured down after a rumble of thunder. As soon as Rachel walked out of the theater with Samuel in her arms, she untied him and carefully tore off the adhesive tape on his mouth. “Are you all right, Samuel?”

Samuel shook his head sensibly. “I’m fine, Mommy. It’s just that my mouth hurts a little. Could you blow on it, Mommy?”

“Okay, let me blow on it. Let’s go home.”
