The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334 Life on the Line

By the time Rachel returned to the private room, only Jason was left alone inside the room and he also had quite a lot to drink earlier. “Where is Young Master Porter?”

“He drank too much. Miss Hart has brought him back to a room to rest. I think we’ll end things here today.” She nodded. “Thank you for pulling the strings on my behalf, Jason.”

He waved his hand dismissively. “Young Master Porter likes you very much, so you better not have any other strange ideas. Also, it’s best if you draw a clear line with my nephew so that your future will remain bright and promising.”

Rachel did not comment much on Jason’s words and merely drove out of the hotel alone after he departed. Following the instructions on the note that Lila handed to her, she drove around and circled back to the hotel since Millstone Street was just one street away from the hotel. It was an old alleyway that did not permit entry to cars.

She parked her car by the curb and walked into the alleyway. At this time, the sky was completely dark with no trace of anyone else. The only sounds that she heard were that of her own footsteps.

It didn’t take long before she found a public phone booth behind an abandoned bungalow. The phone booth looked like it had been abandoned for a long time and did not look like it could be used, which left her with a slight frown. Turning on the flashlight on her phone, she shone the light at the phone booth and walked around but did not find anything.

It was going to be 11:00PM soon.

Ring… A crisp ringing sound pierced through the night air. The sound that suddenly came from the abandoned phone booth seemed extremely strange in the quiet night and caused Rachel to slightly shiver. Thinking about the relationship between Lila and Coraline, she quickly stepped forward and hesitated for several seconds before she picked up the receiver.

“Hello?”

“It’s me?”

“Miss Hart?”

“Perhaps, you should call me by another name.”

Rachel seemed stunned for a moment before a joyous light appeared in her eyes.

…

Dillon, who should have passed out from being drunk, was currently sitting in the living room of Hotel Platinum’s suite and had a pair of extremely bright, clear eyes. There was a pot of tea on the coffee table in front of him with Lila sitting opposite him. In front of her was a mobile phone with the speakerphone turned on. Rachel’s voice came from the other side of the phone.

There was a cold smile on his face as he looked at the phone with extremely contemptuous eyes. Nobody has ever managed to fool me with petty tricks before.

He had sent somebody to investigate Rachel a long time ago. She apparently had a close relationship with the Investigation Bureau Deputy Chief, Janice Hawkins. How could Jason dare to place somebody with that kind of relationship beside him? Has his greed for money left him insane?

“Where are you right now?” Rachel’s questioning voice came from the phone.

Lila glanced at Dillon, asking for an answer with her eyes.

Dillon raised his chin in the direction of the bedroom.

She answered, “I’m still at the hotel, but I have to return to the ship in a short while. I have something to pass to you. Please deliver it to Officer Hawkins as soon as possible.”

“What is it?”

“The route map for the next shipment.”

“The route map? Where is it?”

“Return to the hotel. It’s just behind the toilet of the private room where we were in earlier.”

After that last sentence, Dillon reached out a finger and ended the call with a tap.

Lila’s complexion paled slightly. “Young Master Porter.”
