The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299

After the morning meeting, Rachel returned to her office and noticed that her phone on the desk suddenly lit up as a message appeared.

Her eyes darkened slightly when she glanced at it.

“President Hudson, where are you going?”

“I have something to do.”

“When will you be coming back?”

“I don’t know. Call me if anything happens.”

After that, she went into the elevator. Looking at how hurried she was, the secretary quickly went back to her office to make a call. “Chairman Holt, President Hudson just went out.”

Meanwhile, Rachel drove out from the parking garage and drove straight to the suburbs.

This wasn’t the first time that she arrived at Riverdale Penitentiary.

The last time she came was because Jefferey had suddenly died, so as her legal daughter, she was summoned by the prison guards to collect his body.

She came this time because Bucky was being released.

2 hours later, Rachel drove to the entrance of Riverdale Penitentiary and took a look at her wristwatch. It’s almost time.

Then, a small door that only a person could walk through was opened on the side of the bulletproof door. The prison guard was the first to come out before he was followed by a dark-skinned man with a shaved head. The man’s dark expression seemed to exude a cold aura under the sun.

“You better behave now.” The prison guard’s voice echoed in the air.

As if by reflex, the man nodded his head and agreed.

Bang!

When the prison door behind him was closed, he lifted his head once more to look at the sunlight outside.

Five years. He had stayed in this place for five whole years.

Other than a big empty road and some weeds scattered around, there was nothing in front of the prison’s entrance. He didn’t hope for anyone to come and pick him up as he carried a bag and took out half a pack of cigarettes and a lighter that he had before his imprisonment.

It didn’t matter whether the cigarettes were expired or not, but after sticking a cigarette in his mouth for a while, he realized that the lighter was useless.

As he felt a bit frustrated, he finally noticed the woman walking toward him.

“Are you Bucky? I came to pick you up.”

In fairness, she wasn’t asking him because the certainty in her eyes told him that she came here looking for him.

After finally being released from prison five years later, he could only dream of having a beautiful woman pick him up on the first day, so he went into her car without any hesitation. My life is cheap anyway. What else can/ do?

As for Rachel, she wasn’t surprised that this man agreed to follow her without saying a word. Once a violent

outlaw like him has his eyes on a beautiful woman and luxurious cars, there is nothing to be afraid of.

“Do you have a lighter?”

“I don’t smoke, but you can have something to eat.”

Rachel pressed the button on the right hand side, and the lid in between the driver’s seat and the passenger side slowly opened, revealing some water and snacks.

Not holding back, Bucky unwrapped a bag of bread and a bottle of water.

“Don’t you want to know who I am?” she asked.

“Why do I need to know who you are? I have never known that many rich people in my life, but the only one who values me is him.”

Him? I knew it. Rachel secretly smiled. Does he think that Jason sent me here?
