The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354 He Wasn’t Drugged at All

“If you knew everything, then why did you sign it?” Rachel’s voice reverberated around the large mansion as she didn’t understand why. Justin replied, “Like I said, I’ll give you whatever I can if you want.”

“You don’t have to!” Rachel stood up all of a sudden. “Justin, do you know that there’s no way I’ll forget what happened back then even if you do this?”

“I know, but what was wrong was wrong. You’re under no obligation to forgive me, and whatever I’ve done for you, it’s not for the purpose of begging for forgiveness.”

“What the hell are you doing, then?”

“Just trying to ease my conscience as much as I could.”

Upon hearing this, Rachel felt her temples throbbing, and she got emotional all at once. The fact that Justin wasn’t drunk when he signed the document had thrown her off balance. A moment later, she clenched her fists and got into a temper all of a sudden.

“Rachel!”

Justin stood up as Rachel stormed out of the house and slammed the door behind her. After the sound of the car engine faded into the distance, he withdrew his gaze and sat down again. I told her I’m doing all this to ease my conscience, but how can I do so when she’s never gonna be able to forgive me?

When Rachel got home, it was totally dark outside. The living room smelled of pizza, which Charlotte and Samuel were eating voraciously.

Rachel walked past them and went straight back into her bedroom as though she hadn’t seen them. Then, she slammed the door shut with a loud bang that shook the entire house.

Samuel shuddered before whispering, “Don’t you think Mommy’s in a bad mood right now?”

Charlotte nodded. “Obviously.”

Just then, Jolly heard the loud bang and came out of the bathroom. “Why close the door so loudly, Chris? You startled me.” However, it wasn’t until she came out that she realized Rachel wasn’t in the living room. “Where’s your mom?”

Charlotte and Samuel pouted their lips toward Rachel’s bedroom in unison.

Samuel said, “She seems very angry.”

Charlotte nodded in agreement.

Jolly was startled. “What for? She was fine when I left. I’ll go take a look.”

At this moment, Rachel was lying face down motionlessly on the bed in her bedroom.

Jolly knocked on the door. “Chris, I’m coming in.”

Only then did Rachel get up sluggishly and weakly as if she was lethargic.

“What’s wrong with you? You look so pale.” When Jolly entered the room and saw how Rachel looked, she thought the latter was sick. Immediately, she touched her forehead, saying, “You don’t have a fever. What’s wrong?”

“Can we return the land in Northlane back to the Burton Group?”

“Return the land to the Burton Group? What are you thinking?” Jolly’s eyes widened in disbelief. “It took us a lot of effort to get our hands on that piece of land. Construction has started on that site, and even the groundbreaking ceremony has ended. And now you want to return the land back to the Burton Group and bring all our efforts to naught?”

Rachel also knew that it was impossible. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have offered to give Justin another piece of land at his place just now.

“Fess up to me. Who did you go to meet?”

“Justin. I wanted to transfer another piece of Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ land to him as a little compensation.”
