The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328 Secret Rivalry

Raised by Justin himself, Charlotte was used to being spoiled and willful. It was true that she often burst into tears and kicked up a fuss, but most of the time, she only did so to frighten others into doing what she wanted and rarely cried for real. However, her eyes reddened at this moment as large drops of tears rolled down her cheeks. She couldn’t stop her tears.

Justin immediately panicked. “Charlotte.”

“Sob, sob, sob…” She wept uncontrollably. “I finally waited until Mommy came back. Why are you guys separating again? You don’t love me at all. Sob, sob, sob…”

“I love you, Charlotte.”

“Then, what about Mommy? Doesn’t Mommy love me too?”

He was very reluctant to answer this question, but he could not deny that Rachel loved Charlotte a lot. If not for the child, why else would she choose to remain in the Burton Residence even though she clearly hated him so much?

“She loves you too.”

“Sob, sob… You are liars! If you love me… Sob, sob… Then, why can’t you stay together for my sake?”

Charlotte was still young and did not understand the relationships between adults or the principle that something done by force would not turn out well. In her mind, having a family was a happy and blissful thing. It was something that could be done, so why couldn’t they just do it?

Unable to explain his reasons to her, Justin could only hold her and comfort her. Besides, she no longer heard what he said to her at this point since she was crying her heart out with all her might.

It was hard to say how much time had passed before she became exhausted from crying. There were no more movements from her except for the occasional shudder of her shoulders as she choked back a sob. She was clearly in extreme distress.

He sighed and walked around the room while carrying her in his arms. Just like how it was when she was younger, he patted her back and coaxed her to sleep.

Three days later, in the Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ pharmaceutical factory.

“Chris, it’s not a problem for the workers to work overtime or to produce the medicines that Dillon ordered on time. However, the warehouse is unable to keep up with the supply. The previous batch of new medicine that the factory mass-produced has basically filled up the warehouses.”

Jolly and Rachel were inspecting the pharmaceutical factory together. At the same time, she reported the situation to Rachel while they walked.

Rachel asked, “Are there any other warehouses in the vicinity for rent?”

“Originally, there were. The people below have been discussing this matter. It’s just that these warehouses all belong to the same logistics company. The boss of the logistics company, Mr. Ollie Foster, seems to have had some disputes with Hudson Pharmaceuticals in the past. He has refused to work with us for years.”

“They should know that Hudson Pharmaceuticals has changed hands.”

“While that’s true… According to the report of the person who went there to negotiate, the other party believes that the change was in name only. They claim that we are all the same and refuse to cooperate with us…”

“I’ll visit them myself. Give me the number; I’ll make a call to Mr. Foster and ask him when he’s free.”

“I’ll do it.” Jolly dialed the other party’s number without another word. “Hello? Mr. Foster, it’s me. I have contacted you previously. My name is Jolly, the special assistant of Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ president.”

She was greeted with silence from the other end of the line.

“It’s like this; President Hudson understands that you had some misunderstandings with Hudson Pharmaceuticals before, so she wants to find a time to discuss matters with you. When would be a convenient time for you?”

She waited for Ollie’s response.

“What!?” Jolly’s tone suddenly changed. Rachel glanced at Jolly, not understanding what was going on. She did not know what the other party was saying on the other side of the phone while Jolly’s expression darkened considerably. “I got it. I understand. Thank you.”

After ending the phone call, Jolly exploded in a fit of rage. “Justin, that despicable and shameless man!”
