The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248

In the heavy rain, the white sports car sped away with a loud roar of the engine.

Amber and Justin were the only ones standing outside the Hudson Residence.

As she was still holding the umbrella, she shielded him from the storm as she asked, “Justin, let’s get some shelter. You don’t have to ill-treat yourself.”

“She said everything was caused by me. What do you think?”

Amber’s heart sank as she looked at him in surprise. “What does Hans’ death have to do with you? That’s because he’s unlucky. We don’t see anyone else encountering something like this, do we?”

“I was the one who broke his leg, though,” Justin mumbled.

He could not recall the incident, but a memory suddenly flashed in his mind.

“Hold him down.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Aaaah,” The man yelled in pain. After that, his voice broke off as if he had died.

Then, someone next to him poured a bucket of cold water to wake him up.

“Continue.”

Justin remembered the white walls in the hospital. The smell of disinfectant was just as strong even in his memories.

And bit by bit, he started to remember the past incidents.

“Justin, what’s wrong?” Amber suddenly shrieked as she supported his wobbly figure. “Justin, hang in there! Someone, please call the police! Call the police quickly!”

Janice’s subordinates had always been keeping an eye on the Hudson Family for years. Now that Jefferey’s men were caught red handed at the pier and he was thrown behind bars, the tangible evidence led to a positive verdict by the court.

“Jefferey Hudson, the suspect and former president of Hudson Pharmaceuticals, has been involved in huge sums of money associated with drug smuggling. Among his illegal activities, he has killed two people to cover up his crimes. Since he has been convicted for his many crimes, we hereby announce that he would be subjected to a total of 15 years imprisonment and all his properties will be confiscated.”

In the solemn atmosphere of the court, the judge’s voice rang loud and clear when he announced the guilty verdict.

As Amber cried so hard that she almost fainted, she was helped out of the courtroom. Meanwhile, when Rachel heard the verdict, she slowly stood up and looked at Jefferey, who was seated in the dock with his striped clothes. She was surprised to realize that she felt nothing but calmness.

15 years of prison meant that he would have to spend a part of his life in prison. Even though he would be released after 15 years, he would barely be able to do anything after losing touch with society for so long.

After Hernandez and Rachel walked out of the courtroom and to their car, a shrill voice rang behind them.

“Are you satisfied now, Rachel?” Amber struggled from her assistant and chased Rachel. “I bet you are finally satisfied now that you have broken our family apart, you vicious woman!”

Before Rachel could speak, he blocked her with his back to protect her. “Miss, are you going to attack her in front of the court? I don’t mind suing you for insult and assault.”

“So, it’s you!” Amber recognized him in an instant. Then, she scoffed and continued sarcastically, “Rachel, do you think that you are invincible in Riverdale now that you are friends with a lawyer? Let me tell you this-you will have your fair share of crying in the future!”

Hernandez had wanted to respond, but he was stopped by Rachel, who coldly looked at Amber.

“You have been threatening me since we were young.” Rachel reminded. “I’m sure you are so used to it that you have forgotten what evidence I’m now holding against you, right?”

Amber blanched.
