The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357 Proof That Can’t Get More Iron-Clad Than This

“One of the hotel staff helped you to change your clothes,” Leroy immediately explained, having instantly figured out Jolly’s thoughts. “You threw up over yourself. Your clothes weren’t in a wearable condition.”

Jolly gradually calmed down then. In truth, she had known Leroy for some time now. Although she had initially gotten in touch with him out of ulterior motives, as she spent more time with him, she realized that he was actually a pretty straightforward person, to the point where he was a little bland. He was largely different from other celebrities in showbiz.

Just as he was speaking, Leroy’s phone buzzed.

“Hello? What?” Leroy suddenly glanced at Jolly, a complicated look in his eyes. “My phone was on silent, so I didn’t hear it earlier.”

Jolly had no idea what the caller said, but Leroy walked straight to the window, pulling aside part of the curtain to look down before he quickly pulled the curtain back in place.

“What is it?” Still with the blanket wrapped around her, Jolly could sense that something was not right.

“Someone snapped photos of us last night. Right now, reporters and fans are swarming the hotel’s lower floors. We can’t leave for now.”

“What?” Jolly promptly got out of bed with the blanket still wrapped around her and dashed over to the window to take a look. The hotel itself was rather tall, so the crowd gathered below looked like a dark swarm of ants. But even with the sheer height, Jolly could still see that it was a sizable crowd. “What should we do?”

“My manager’s rushing over this instant. Let’s wait first.”

“Wait? For how long? When are we going to get out?” Jolly clenched the blanket. “I’ve got a reputation to uphold. I don’t want to go down in flames with all this slander hurled at me. Where’s my phone?” She only thought of her phone at that moment.

“On the bed,” Leroy answered. When Jolly saw Leroy emerge from the bathroom earlier, she had tossed her phone aside as she shrieked.

That phone… Jolly rushed over and picked her phone up. Sure enough, the call was still ongoing.

“Hello?” Jolly coughed awkwardly. “Chris, are you still there?”

“Yeah.”

“So then, everything earlier…”

“I heard it all.” Rachel didn’t hide anything. “Jolly, if I were one of Leroy’s fans, I’d charge over to the hotel and rip the door right off its hinges before pulling out all your hair. Nothing happened at all between a single man and a single woman? Who’s going to buy that?”

Even though Jolly’s phone had been on the whole time and she heard their conversation, Rachel still had her doubts. She didn’t doubt Leroy’s character; she doubted Jolly’s ability to hold her alcohol.

Jolly knew her shortcomings. “That—Chris, relax, I’ll be sure to handle this properly. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it myself.”

“How are you going to take care of it? Are you going to go out butt naked to do so?”

At that, Jolly awkwardly lowered her head to look at herself before pulling the blanket higher up her chest.

“Stay at the hotel. Don’t go anywhere. I’ll bring you a change of clothes,” Rachel said.

Jolly let out a breath of relief. “You’re a good friend. I shall come to your aid one day; I guarantee that!”

“How are you still in the mood to crack jokes?” Rachel was practically speechless. After she hung up, she spoke to Justin. “Please send me home.”

“That’s in a completely different direction from the hotel,” Justin pointed out.

“I know, but I need to go back home and grab some clothes for Jolly.”

“Such a pain. Do you have a nanny waiting at home?”

“Yes.”

“The Burton Group is fairly close to your home. I’ll get Frankie to get the clothes and meet us at the hotel.”

Rachel paused before nodding. Right now, that was the most efficient way to deliver the clothes.
