The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259

“I cooked extra. It’ll be a waste to throw them away.”

Despite what Rachel said, Justin still proceeded to take a seat happily to have breakfast. To him, the oatmeal was a sign of her showing goodwill.

Seeing that, Samuel, who had been by the side, silently shook his head with a sympathetic expression. Look at how pathetic he is. He’s ecstatic over a bowl of oatmeal.

After sending the two children to school, Rachel drove to the suburbs alone. The Riverdale Penitentiary was located on a vast empty land. Some said that the surroundings were wide and empty to prevent the inmates from escaping. After all, it was hard to hide in plain sight.

When Jefferey was brought out, she thought that she’d be hit by waves of emotions, but it was quite the

contrary. She was so calm that she even surprised herself.

It had been a while since she saw him, and he had visibly aged; his gray hair had turned completely white. He looked like an old folk who didn’t have much time to live. At this moment, she said, “You must’ve not expected to see me here, visiting you.”

On the other side, he sneered after hearing that. “What is there to be unexpected about? Aren’t you here to see how bad of a shape I’m in now? That’d help ease your hatred toward me for giving your hand in marriage to the Burton Family.”

“Burton Family?” The light in her eyes dimmed. “Compared to the other things you did, forcing me to marry Justin was nothing. You should bear the consequences of your actions. Although you’re being punished, it’s not enough to make up for everything you did. Think of all the people you’ve killed and the sins you’ve committed. Do you think the truth can be buried when people are dead?”

“Why? Are you trying to catch a slip from me?”

“Do I have to do that? The prosecutor’s investigation period for my parents’ case has already passed. You can still pay for your sins when you die and see them in the afterlife.”

Throughout her little speech, he listened with a disdainful look. “Are you done?”

With a 15-year sentence, it meant to him that he had to spend the rest of his life in prison. Hence, nothing she said could anger him anymore.

“After living for so many years, I’ve gotten everything that I want, so dying right now is worth it. In fact, I hope that I’ll die sooner. You can ask the old man–I mean, your grandfather. He was the one who looked down on me, but I was the one who brought up the entire Hudson Family.”

“What if I tell you that you won’t be listed in our family history when you die?”

At once, he was stumped.

She continued, “I’m aiding Carter Enterprise in the process of buying over Hudson Pharmaceuticals. As the eldest daughter of the elder heir, I will be taking over Hudson Pharmaceuticals. The first thing I’ll do when the time comes is to remove you from our family records.”

“What right do you have?!” He stood up in a swift movement and was immediately yelled at by the prison guards standing behind him. “What are you doing?! Sit down!”

However, Jefferey was raging. “Who do you think you are? Why would the Hudsons listen to you?”

“Well, because I have 6 of the Hudson Pharmaceutical prescriptions.” At that moment, a cold smirk appeared on the corner of her lips. “Don’t you remember? The same 6 prescriptions that troubled you so much for these past few years.”

At this moment, Jefferey was taken aback. How could he not remember? If it weren’t for the prescriptions, he wouldn’t have considered smuggling overseas–which was what brought him here today.

“I will let my parents get the respect they should’ve gotten. As for you and Amber, I’ll have both of you removed from the Hudson Family’s registry forever. The Hudson Pharmaceuticals that you worked so hard to support will be brought down and rebuilt by me in the name of my parents.” At this moment, she brought out the business proposal and waved it in front of him. “Can you see this? Hudson Pharmaceuticals will be rebranded. Do you like it?”

The moment he saw the name of the brand, he widened his eyes so much that his eyeballs were almost protruding. Slam! He slammed his palm on the tempered glass as he exclaimed, “Rachel! You b*tch!”
