The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247

When Amber heard those words, her eyes widened in shock.

At this exact moment, a cold man’s voice rang behind Rachel. “So, the reason why you are sticking to me is just to obtain evidence of Hans’ death from Grandpa?”

Rachel jolted violently.

A black umbrella was held firmly by the man’s slender fingers. His tall figure cast a long shadow that covered the ground and his face looked even colder than usual.

Justin? She did not even notice when he had arrived.

“Is this the exchange you made with Grandpa?”

“Justin.” Amber quickly scrambled to her feet and she ran to the spot under his umbrella. “Justin, I already told you that she is up to no good, but you refused to believe me. Look at the crazy things that she just did! She even threw her own father into jail. I wonder what else she is capable of doing!”

Justin’s face darkened as he stared at Rachel. “Aren’t you going to explain?”

However, Rachel merely tightened her hold on her umbrella with a tense expression on her face. “Didn’t you hear everything for yourself earlier?”

She calmly looked at the man in front of her, but her grip on her umbrella tightened.

Everyone could tell that she had ulterior motives when she returned and became closer to Justin. Even he himself was aware of this and even asked her many times in the beginning about the reason for her return.

It was just that he forgot about it later on.

In that instant, his cold face was almost overcome with fury. Even though he tried to suppress his anger, the throbbing vein on his forehead betrayed his current emotions.

“From the beginning, you returned to avenge Hans’ death. Not only did you not consider my feelings, you didn’t even consider Charlotte either. You even used your own daughter!”

Upon the mention of Charlotte, Rachel’s temples throbbed. The emotions that she had repressed quickly flashed on her face before it disappeared. “I don’t care what you think about me.”

“You don’t care about my thoughts? Aren’t your thoughts exactly like how I have described?”

“I still have other things to attend to.”

Justin grabbed Rachel’s wrist as he bellowed, “I’m not allowing you to leave!”

Although pain shot through her wrists, Rachel did not groan whatsoever as she merely frowned at him. “It’s meaningless whether I leave or not since my job here is done. What more do you want?”

Justin tightened his hold on her, it was as if he would only give up until he crushed her wrist.

At the same time, he could not believe his ears. This cold woman in front of me just prepared dinner in the kitchen last night and we were chatting happily. She even took the initiative to bring me a bowl of soup and asked me to have more of it for my stomach’s health. After just a night, everything has completely changed. Her behavior has changed so fast that it feels like she’s a different person compared to yesterday.

“You have been putting on an act around me, haven’t you?”

The pain she felt was so intense that she could not even speak.

“Is that the case?!” His loud voice reverberated in her ears as it crushed her nerves.

“Let me go!” Rachel tried to wring free from his grasp, but to no avail. The umbrella that she had been holding even fell off from her hand.
