The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 369

Chapter 369 A Fight in the Club

Rachel narrowed her eyes at Robin for a long while before asking, “President Gunson, what are you doing?”

Robin’s mouth curved up as his lewd eyes glanced at Rachel’s body from top to bottom. “I am sure you always had good men fall for you, Miss Hudson, but I bet you had never been surrounded by a group of charming men to please you, have you? Relax, you should loosen up a little.” He smirked.

Then, he made a gesture to those male escorts who stood in a line behind Rachel. At once, the escorts immediately surrounded her and said, “Miss Hudson.”

“Get away from me!” she squeaked. With force, Rachel pushed one of them away from her, and her gaze was full of disgust. Then, she took a deep breath to suppress her emotions, and her voice was icy cold. “President Gunson, don’t cross the line.”

“Crossing the line?” Robin sneered, “Weren’t you the one who agreed to stay along? Did I force you to come? And yet, here you are.”

“As far as I am concerned, the matter between us was quite a bumpy ride, but it has long ended and we should leave it behind us now. You are now the president of the Burton Group, and the seat is barely warmed, President Gunson. I don’t think it is a wise choice to start picking on me just yet,” she asserted.

“Are you threatening me? You can’t possibly think that Justin will make a comeback now, do you?” he curiously asked.

“Who knows? At the very least, he’s a Burton.” Rachel snickered.

It seemed like Rachel’s words had hit the nail on the head. Robin despised it when people said he wasn’t a Burton. Although he had been Jason’s godson for so many years, he had never gotten the chance to change his surname to Burton. After all, the more one couldn’t get something, the more they got bothered by it.

Smash! People in the lounge started screaming as they saw Robin smash a whiskey glass against the table.

He stared at her with a flare in his eyes, and he growled, “Don’t you step over me, Rachel! I am showing courtesy to you by inviting you to come here, but who the hell do you think you are? Do you still consider yourself the honorable young lady of the Hudsons? Have you forgotten what it was like to be ‘sold’ by your father to the Burton Family?” Then, he continued in exasperation, “Back then, you were ‘sold,’ but now I’m willing to ‘buy’ you in again! You should be happy that you still had some ‘market value’!”

Rachel’s face turned pale, and she clenched her teeth so hard that her whole body was shaking.

It is better to offend a gentleman a thousand times than a villain once, she thought. Once people like Robin held power in their hands, all their previous grudges would surface and they would start to act retaliatory.

“President Gunson, take it easy. Anger hurts your body, and it’s not worth it,” the female escort who sat beside him soothed as she gently stroked him on the back.

With that, Robin’s face eased up a bit, then he pointed to the table which was full of booze. “Oh well. If you don’t want to entertain us, that’s fine. I will put this behind us, provided that you finish all the drinks on the table,” he said with a malicious smile on his face.

After Rachel heard Robin’s offer, her hands were squeezed into fists by her sides. He was absolutely up to no good, because she would be intoxicated and at the mercy of others if she drank this much alcohol. By then, everything that followed would only be blamed on the drinks.

“It is not necessary. President Gunson, it is clear that you have no intention of forgiving me. If so, I will have to change my plans. Thank you for your time, President Gunson,” she stated as she walked toward the door.

“Hold it right there!” he exclaimed. At once, her path was blocked by two bodyguards.

“You think you can just come and go as you please? What do you take me for?” he said in anger.

“Robin Gunson, what exactly do you want from me?” she asked with frustration.

“Whether you like it or not, you will still have to finish all the drinks on the table.” Robin gestured to his bodyguards and instructed, “Get her to drink!”

Immediately, those bodyguards walked toward Rachel and attempted to grab her.

“Get your hands off me!” she squeaked. In shock, she had never expected that Robin would be so determined in seeking revenge.

“Aren’t you afraid that I will call the police?” she hollered.

“Call the police? If you have the guts to do so, be my guest. Do you think I will fall for your tricks a second time?” he replied with a teasing look.

Just then, the woman next to her snatched her purse. “I will take that for you,” she sneered at Rachel. “And this is what you get for going against Young Master Gunson!” Soon after that, she dumped Rachel’s purse into the beer bucket, which was full of icy water.
