The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 276

Chapter 276

Justin instructed, “Get Robin out of the PR department once this matter is over.” No one seemed to object. Even Robin’s supporters couldn’t find any excuse to defend him.

At the same time, the news had traveled to the summer villa right into Arthur’s ears. “Preposterous! Is this what you had your men do?” On the phone, Arthur was rebuking Jason with all the indignation in his heart. “Look at the news! Listen to what they say!”

“I’ve seen the news. I’ll handle it.”

“You’ll handle it? I’d rather you do nothing and just stay still.”

“Father.”

“If you continue to cause trouble, you can stop calling me that! You’ll no longer be my son!” Arthur hung up, leaving Jason to his gloom.

Sitting on the couch in front of him was Robin, who warily apologized, “I’m sorry, Godfather. This is all on me. I will take full responsibility for this.”

“It’s fine. I’ve really underestimated that woman.”

“You mean the mute Rachel?”

With a frown, Jason answered, “Who else?”

“But what would she get from this? Exposing us to the reporters would only harm Burton Group. Justin will surely get pissed off if he knows about this.”

“But what proof of her exposure to the reporters do you have?”

Robin had no comeback.

Jason then continued, “She knew we were going to use the matter to draw her out into the open, and used that to her advantage and sent a bunch of reporters to you. She’s a lot smarter than I anticipated.”

Hearing that, Robin clenched his fist in exasperation. “That damned mute! I’ll make sure she pays!”

“For the time being, don’t do anything.”

“So we’re just gonna watch as she feeds Justin anything she wishes?”

“Since playing in the dark leads to nothing, we shall bring it into the light.” Jason deeply suggested, “Once this matter is over, we will go see her in person.”

Although Robin didn’t know the history behind the feud, he was aware that the recent happenings were all organized in a manner that made him seem like the troublemaker, and it was by some force’s manipulation behind the curtains. However, Rachel’s counter was only reasonable since Robin was the initiator.

The next morning, Mr. Onfroy dropped his lawsuit as he came to an agreement with Burton Group, putting a peaceful end to the drama. While the company’s Public Relations Department members were still racking their brains on how to get through to Mr. Onfroy, the news of the agreement was already making it to the headlines on the internet. Thanks to that, Burton Group was able to stabilize their stock prices.

While Justin was in the office, Frankie hurried over. “It’s confirmed, President Burton. President Hudson brought Lisa along as she visited Mr. Onfroy in the hospital and managed to talk it out with him.”

“Rachel did it?”

“Yes. Lisa has just returned and has submitted her report. The other party demanded 200,000 as compensation for psychological damage and medical expenses, as well as a resettlement house. The contract is already verified and is awaiting your signature.”

“Where’s Rachel now?”
