The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304

The impact of the screeching brakes caused Justin and Rachel to fly forward and nearly slam into the back of the front seats due to the momentum.

“Sorry, there’s a red light. I didn’t notice it in time.”

Gloria’s voice came from the driver’s seat.

As a result of that, their argument had been interrupted.

Rachel then shook Justin off as she tried to open the car door. “Rie, I want you to open the door now!”

A frowning Gloria responded, “I think you both need to calm down first.”

“I am calm.”

Justin and Rachel said at the same time.

Sweeping her gaze across both of them, Gloria added, “Either you follow my advice wherein we have a nice talk after we’ve found some place to sit or we can all be locked in this car with nobody leaving anytime soon.”

While it was a stalemate on one hand, it was a spectacle for the audience to watch on the other hand,

“Master Jason, there is news from the Investigation Bureau.”

The holiday resort was situated in the mountain located at the western side of Riverdale. Jason was seated in the courtyard while he fished in a relaxing manner, looking nothing like the man who frequented clubs.

“What did they say?”

“The news that Rachel Hudson and Officer Hawkins fiercely arguing is spreading all over the Bureau. Officer Hawkins, who personally interrogated her, slammed the table and stared at her with a bad attitude.”

“How did they deal with her in the end? Did they throw her behind bars?”

“They didn’t. Young Master Justin interfered.”

“Oh?”

“Young Master Justin had given Chief Maxim a ring and explained that Bucky’s so-called proof was hearsay and not physical evidence. So, Chief Maxim could only order Officer Hawkins, to release her, but it can be said that this has caused a huge rifit between Rachel and Officer Hawkins.”

Now that he was immersed in his thoughts, Jason clarified, “Justin had actually sought help from the chief because of this woman?”

“Yes, the info was validated.”

Hmph. With a sneer, Jason continued, “He’s still the same as before: soft-hearted. I thought that him forgetting all those things would make him let this woman go. It seems that this weakness of his would be hard to get rid of. No wonder my father wanted this woman gone at all costs.”

“How about we make Bucky-”

Jason raised his hand to interrupt his subordinate. “No need. From this, you can see that the friendship these two women have isn’t that deep. After all, how close could a businessman and an incorruptible commissioner be? Changing our perspective, this woman might just be the key to controlling my nephew, so in the future…”

Although he did not finish his sentence, his long-time followers all understood what he meant.

“Then, about Bucky…”

The fishing pole in Jason’s hand suddenly moved. Raising a hand, he gestured to his subordinates to remain silent whereupon the fish took the bait.

The fish sprung out from the water with a splash.

His subordinates immediately flattered, “What a big fish!”

“When the fish takes the bait, we have to loosen the handle a bit and reel it in when it has no more strength. We can’t forcefully pull it out of the water from the get go…”

While retrieving the hook from the fish’s mouth, Jason sighed. “Look at it, it’s completely exhausted. Under this kind of circumstance, it won’t make for a delicious dish.”

“Then, are you releasing it?”

“Releasing it? I’ve spent so much time catching it and you now want me to release it? On top of that, this fish will emit a warning signal once it returns to the water. When that happens, we’ll only be catching air.”

“I understand Master Jason’s words.”

“Get going now.”
