The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336 Well Prepared

“Oh?” A slight interest appeared in Dillon’s eyes. “I’m curious to know what you mean by that. What is not simple about Lila?”

“If my guess is correct, the route map in the restroom is fake. Isn’t that right?” Rachel glanced at Lila standing by the side and holding a gun to Justin’s head. “However, I didn’t just receive one message tonight telling me about the route map in the restroom. I had also received another text.”

The pupils in his eyes contracted abruptly.

She took out a mobile device. “This phone is something that I found in the public phone booth at Millstone Street. If I guessed correctly, this text message was sent by Miss Hart, right?”

He glanced at his bodyguard, who understood the gesture and stepped forward to take the phone for him. “Young Master Porter, this…”

Dillon had also seen the contents of the text message. It was the current route for the shipment of goods clearly described in words, making it a genuine map.

Rachel then said, “I am very curious as to why Miss Hart would hand this route map to me.”

His expression immediately changed.

Lila hurriedly explained, “Young Master Dillon.”

Before she could finish her sentence, Dillon took out his gun and pointed the muzzle at her head without another word in fury. “You are really a spy after all!”

At that moment, the sound of a phone vibrating sounded out of nowhere.

One of Dillon’s subordinates quickly answered the phone. “Hello? Master Porter.”

Nobody knew what was being said on the other end of the phone, but the subordinate’s expression immediately changed. “Yes. I understand. Young Master Porter, Master Porter asks that you answer the phone.”

A furious Dillon glared at Lila and issued a command to the people around him. “Hold her down. Bring all of them back to my room.”

Justin hurriedly tried to stand up, but he was stopped by the gun pointing at him by the bodyguard nearby.

Inside the hotel suite, Dillon talked to Sean Porter on the phone for a long time inside the bedroom. When he came out, his expression was incredibly furious and it looked worse than the time he learned that Lila was a spy.

Lila was standing by the side. When she saw him coming out of the bedroom, she respectfully lowered her head. “Young Master Porter.”

However, he sneered and raised a hand to slap her soundly across the face.

Her head tilted to the side from the force of impact before a trickle of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth. Yet, she did not make a single sound and remained as cold and indifferent as ever. “Young Master Porter, have you vented some of your anger?”

“No!” Dillon raised his arm again. Unexpectedly, she raised her head and waited for him to hit her. His hand hung in mid-air for ages before his clenched fist finally dropped to his sides and he gnashed his teeth furiously. “You sure are amazing. You’re no longer by my father’s side, but you can still cooperate with him and even keep me in the dark. Aren’t you scared that I might shoot you?”

“If it were Miss Porter, I would have lost my life a long time ago. However, you are merciful and soft-hearted, Young Master Porter.” Lila’s indifferent words were not a compliment, but a direct statement that pointed out his character flaws. In this line of work, the last thing they wanted was to be merciful.

Needless to say, he was not a compassionate person. It was just that he could never be cruel toward the people around him. Even if he discovered that somebody had betrayed him, he still could not bring himself to kill them immediately. That was also the reason why Lila and Sean dared to set this trap tonight.

Dillon glared at her fiercely. “You can handle the rest. I’m not in the mood. I’m leaving!”

After saying that, he turned and strode out whereby his two bodyguards hurriedly chased after him. Only Lila and the others remained inside the suite.

Lila’s cold and sharp gaze landed on the sofa where Rachel and Justin had been restrained for some time now. “Release them.”

“Yes.”

As soon as the ropes around Justin were released, he immediately chased the person standing beside Rachel away and personally freed her from the ropes. “Rachel, are you okay?”
