The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 351

Chapter 351 The Calm Before the Storm

Justin would be flying directly to Jublen in the afternoon the next day. Before leaving Riverdale, he decided to see Charlotte. Due to their previous misunderstanding, Charlotte had been refusing to see him or answer his phone calls. Having no other choice, he could only call Samuel on the latter’s cell phone.

The phone call got through, and Samuel’s voice rang on the other end of the line. “Hello?” “Samuel, is Charlotte with you?” “Yeah, she is.”

Justin was somewhat reluctant to part with Charlotte, but he couldn’t care much about anything else when he recalled the situation Rachel was in. “I’ll be going out for a few days, and I don’t know when I’ll come back for the time being. Are you two at home?”

“Nope, we’re in Godmother’s car on our way to the airport.”

“The airport?” Justin’s heart skipped a beat. “Why are you going to the airport?”

“To pick Mommy up, of course.”

Upon hearing this, Justin immediately straightened up in disbelief. “Your mom is back?”

“Yeah!”

At this moment, the roar of an airplane’s engine reverberated through the skies above Riverdale Airport. After gliding for a long time, the plane finally made a smooth landing.

Having done her job in Jublen, Rachel hurried back to Riverdale on the morning flight. The instant her flight touched down, her nerves, which had been tense with fear over the past few days, relaxed at last. At least things are gonna stay peaceful for a while, she thought.

As soon as she got off the plane, she made a phone call. “Hello? I’m at the airport now.”

Janice’s voice rang on the other end of the line. “Glad to hear that you arrived safely. Our joint operation with Interpol this time was a success. Although Dillon ran away, we managed to arrest a few of S’s leaders and confiscated a large batch of smuggled goods, inflicting heavy losses on them. Well done, Rachel.”

“So they won’t be coming to Riverdale again for the time being, huh?”

“That’s right. Also, we managed to get some evidence on Jason, and the Investigation Bureau has been investigating him lately. It won’t be long before he gets punished by the law.”

“That’s great.” Rachel breathed a sigh of relief. “I can have a peaceful sleep at last.”

Ever since the moment she decided to assist Janice in investigating Jason, everything around her had suddenly begun to get out of hand, and her mind had been occupied with all kinds of hair-raising stuff every single day. Now that Jason was going to be convicted of his crimes, she could finally unload her burden.

After hanging up the phone, she looked at the clear blue sky outside the airport. Grandma, I’m finally gonna avenge your death.

She waited for a while before Jolly’s car arrived. “You’re back at last! I nearly worried myself to death over the past few days. Are you alright?” asked Jolly.

Rachel nodded. “Yeah, everything went quite smoothly.”

“I saw the news.” Jolly hesitated to speak much since there were kids in the car. “I’m not gonna ask anything. It’s fine as long as you come back safe and sound. Do you still have to get in touch with those people after this?”

“No, not anymore.”

“Really? That’d be great!” Jolly heaved a deep sigh of relief. “That Dillon guy didn’t seem like a nice guy at first glance, and I was afraid whenever you came into contact with him. My dad said that none of those related to the Jockey Club are nice, after all. By the way, it’s great that you’re back. You know what? Justin had been pestering me over the last few days, which was damn annoying…”

“What business does he have with you?”

“He was asking me questions about you, of course. I wonder where he heard it from, but he kept saying that your present situation is dangerous.”

As the two women were conversing, Samuel chimed in, “He called just now, saying that he’s going abroad for a few days and wants to see Charlotte.”

“I don’t want to see him!” Charlotte was nestling in Rachel’s arm at first, but her face tautened the instant she heard this. “He’s a bad daddy!”

“Charlotte.” Rachel frowned. “You can’t say that. He’s your dad.”
