The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268

“Grandpa, if you have nothing else, I’ll be leaving first.”

“Wait a minute.” Arthur placed a document on the table. “I need you to reply to the overseas branch regarding the market expansion plan.”

“Just let Frankie handle the integration.”

“Jean is the legal officer there.”

Justin frowned and took the document after a moment. “I see. I’ll send a message back there when I have time.”

As he watched Justin leave with the document, Arthur’s expression became more complicated.

At that moment, Dennis hurriedly rushed in from the outside. “Old Mr. Burton, this…”

The skinny man on the ground had fainted at some point. His face was a cruel sight to see-it was bruised and was even stamped with a footprint. Justin had always been ruthless, and no one in the Burton Family could compare to him in this department.

Arthur cast him a sweeping glance as he ordered, “Call Jason back.”

“Now?”

“Immediately.”

“Understood.” Dennis didn’t dare to tarry, so he immediately contacted Jason. He was eavesdropping by the door earlier. If Jason really sent someone to hurt Justin, he would definitely not be able to get through Arthur.

“Master Jason, Old Mr. Burton wants you to return here.”

“I’m not in Riverdale today. Let’s talk about it another day.”

As the phone was on speakerphone, Arthur could hear everything. His expression darkened as he immediately roared at the phone, “You aren’t in Riverdale? Where are you?”

“I went out to handle some things. Don’t ask.”

Suppressing his anger, Arthur asked, “When will you come back?”

“Within two weeks, maybe. A batch of shipment just arrived here, so I’ll hang up first. Take care of yourself, Dad.” Saying that, Jason immediately hung up.

Arthur was going red with anger, and he slammed the table. “Doesn’t that make things obvious now? If he wasn’t feeling guilty about something, why wouldn’t he dare to come back?”

“Old Mr. Burton, you haven’t found out the truth yet. You should wait for Master Jason to come back.”

Arthur’s expression turned serious. “Have someone to go and find out what this b*stard has been up to recently.”

“Understood. I’ll get to it immediately.”

On the other end, Rachel answered Julian’s call. As soon as he left the villa, he gave Rachel a call.

“I saw Justin at the villa. Did you two come back already?”

“Yeah.”

Rachel opened the glass door leading to the balcony and walked out as she said into the phone, “Was there a family dinner at the summer villa today?”

“I wouldn’t consider it a family dinner. It’s merely an excuse to get everyone together and ask about recent events, then organize and exchange the resources at hand with each other. I hate going to these events the most. If it weren’t for my mother… Forget it, I don’t wanna talk about it.” Julian rarely mentioned Sue in front of Rachel

With such an unreasonable mother, even he himself felt disgusted.

Rachel understood what he was getting at. “Old Mr. Burton must have called Justin over so urgently because of me.”

“I was just about to tell you this. Things have gotten complicated. I saw Justin’s bodyguard tying someone up in the parking lot. Was that person sent by Jason?”
