The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 339

Chapter 339 He Was the Only One Who Got Drunk

The woman was shoved so hard that she fell off the bed and cried out in pain, “Don’t you remember anything from last night?”

Justin clutched at his pounding head while his head buzzed loudly. I was clearly discussing our daughter with Rachel last night, but I don’t remember what happened next.

When she saw his reaction, the woman angrily rose to her feet. “What do you mean by that?! Are you refusing to take responsibility after you’ve slept with me?!”

“Last night, you had too much to drink in the lobby of this hotel. I kindly tried to send you home, but you refused to tell me where you lived. As a last resort, I could only get you a room in the hotel. Who could have known that you would hold on to me all night and refuse to let me leave…”

“I held on to you?” He could not recall anything. “That’s impossible!”

“Impossible? Who are you trying to insult?!” The woman was furious beyond belief. “Are you refusing to take responsibility?! I will report you to the police immediately! I will sue you for rape!”

The moment he heard the word ‘police’, Justin immediately came back to his senses. “Wait.”

“Why? Are you scared now?”

He coldly glared at the woman. “Words like ‘a man indulging in lust after getting drunk’ are only to deceive others. Even if most of your words are true, you know best as to whether anything had happened between us last night.”

The woman panicked slightly while holding her phone.

“Do you plan to name your price and forever keep what happened last night a secret? Or, would you prefer to report this to the police and have them investigate whether or not something had happened last night? It’s your choice.”

She clearly seemed guilty. A short while later, she reached out her hand toward him. “500 thousand.”

“It’s a deal.”

The woman was slightly speechless.

…

When Frankie received a sudden phone call from Justin, he hurriedly delivered a change of clothes to the hotel.

As soon as he walked into the room, he saw Justin in a bathrobe after finishing a bath. Thus, he became a little anxious. “President Burton, why didn’t you answer the phone last night?! Why did you come to the hotel?! The doctor has specified that you need to be hospitalized!”

“Did you bring the clothes?”

“I did.”

Justin took the clothes and went straight to change while completely ignoring Frankie’s nagging.

For some reason, Frankie vaguely felt that his superior was no longer the same after undergoing surgery. It was still a familiar feeling, but it was strangely distant.

They left the hotel with Frankie at the steering wheel.

“President Burton, weren’t you having dinner with President Hudson last night? Why did you end up staying in the hotel? You—”

Justin glanced at Frankie. The chill in those eyes had frightened Frankie so much that he shuddered. What happened?

Justin held his phone and hesitated for a long while, but dialed Rachel’s number in the end.

“Hello?” However, the person who answered the phone was not Rachel.

He was stunned. “Miss Carter?”

“Why is it you?” Jolly’s voice sounded furious. “I can’t believe I’m meeting a ghost so early in the morning. Justin, why are you always everywhere?! Why are you calling Chris?”

As he knew that she was prejudiced against him, he didn’t argue with her. “Where is Rae?”

“How dare you mention that! Didn’t she go for dinner with you last night? Why did she come back completely drunk!? If I had not found her in the middle of the night, she would have fallen asleep in the doorway!”

“Is she alright?”

“She is still asleep. You, on the other hand, sure are spirited. You were drinking together, so couldn’t you have sent her safely back home before you left? What kind of man are you? Can you take responsibility if something happened to her?”

“It’s good that she’s fine.” When he recalled what had happened this morning, Justin couldn’t help feeling annoyed and hung up.

On the other side of the phone, Jolly placed the phone down and raised an eyebrow. “How was it? Is my performance worthy of an Academy Award?”
