The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349 A Thrilling Night

Jolly darted a look at Justin. “Why would I tell you?” Justin suddenly had a bad feeling.

Three days later, darkness fell as heavy fog shrouded a dock in Jublen, cutting visibility to near zero. Only with the aid of a flashlight could one barely see a line of trucks parked on the dock. At this moment, workers were moving goods off the freighter in the dark, and they had been doing this for two hours.

“Be careful,” said Rachel as she directed her people to move the goods off the freighter.

Just then, a black sedan came to a stop in front of her. Lila got out of the car first, and she went to the trunk to take out a wheelchair before helping Dillon to it.

Despite the impenetrable darkness, Rachel noticed Dillon’s badly bruised face at a glance and was instantly surprised. “What happened to you, Young Master Porter?”

“I fell and bruised myself while drinking in Riverdale.” Dillon let out a snort. “I’m afraid Riverdale doesn’t agree with me.”

“How did you fall so badly?”

“That doesn’t matter.” Dillon shot a glance at the goods on the dock. “How’s the move going?”

“It’s almost done. We’ll finish moving the goods before dawn.”

Dillon nodded. “You’re indeed a lucky star, Miss Hudson. The trip went well, and I heard that we’d gotten through all the checkpoints without a hitch. Both our men and our goods have arrived safely.”

“Well, it is a smooth trip, but I won’t be doing something like this anymore.”

“Why? You’re scared?”

“That’s only part of human nature, right?”

“Well, that’s understandable. But now that we’re already here, there’s nothing to worry about. This is my turf, so why don’t you stay a few days longer and let me show you around, Miss Hudson?”

“Thanks for your kindness, Young Master Porter, but I have to hurry back to Riverdale tomorrow. Now that I’ve vanished for such a long time, my friend is probably worried.”

Just as Dillon was about to continue persuading Rachel, the driver of the car behind him suddenly poked his head out of the car window. “We’re in trouble, Young Master Porter! Hurry up and get in the car!”

As soon as he finished his sentence, the sound of a gunshot was heard in the distance.

Frightened, Rachel shuddered and crouched down while covering her ears.

Dillon turned pale at once. “What happened?”

“It’s the Interpol!”

“Sh*t, how did Interpol find their way here? Get the loaded trucks to leave at once and abandon the rest!”

As the sound of gunshots were approaching, Lila said, “It’s too late. We have to leave now.”

Dillon pounded his wheelchair in anger. This batch of goods was supposed to be a great chance for him to shine in front of his father, but now, these goods had slipped through his fingers right under his very nose!

Lila immediately yanked Dillon to his feet and shoved him into the car, leaving the wheelchair behind right away. Then, she ordered, “Drive, Benny!”

After the car drove off, Rachel hid behind the containers. Hearing the gunshots in the distance, she gritted her teeth and ran away from the dock alone with the aid of the fog.

“There’s someone over there! Chase after them!”

This was Rachel’s first time coming across such a situation. Although she had prepared herself for this, she could hardly remain calm, so she merely ran outside based on her survival instincts.

Just then, she heard a screech of brakes as a car stopped in front of her. Then, a large hand reached out from the car and pulled her inside amid her screams. A man’s chilly voice reverberated in the car, saying, “Drive!”

The streetlights on the expressway illuminated the inside of the car as it drove out of the dock.
