The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374 The Truth About the Abduction

That day, she had clearly seen Jason’s number appear on Julian’s cell phone. After leaving Julian’s office, Rachel went to the cemetery in the suburbs. It was located in a remote area, and no one visited this place except for their family’s death anniversary, so this was the best place to meet Janice.

“Is there any news on Jason?” As soon as she saw Janice, Rachel asked. Janice nodded. “The team has located his location. A week ago, he was in Belleville.”

“Then why haven’t you dispatched a search team yet?”

“Belleville is not our territory. To search for him, we need to submit an application to the higher ups. I’m afraid that someone might leak the news in the process.”

“Then do we have to just wait like this? What if he runs away?”

“He won’t. Isn’t Old Mr. Burton seriously ill and hospitalized? Even though Jason has cut ties with the Burton Family on the surface, he has hoped to gain the old man’s recognition all his life. He’s a filial son.”

“What do you mean?” Rachel didn’t understand. “What does this have to do with whether he’s a filial son or not?”

Janice elaborated, “He will come back to Riverdale within the next two days.”

Rachel jolted a little. “Are you sure?”

“If he didn’t care about Old Mr. Burton, he wouldn’t have taken such a big risk to call Julian.”

“You have a point.” Rachel fell into her thoughts, but she still had something she couldn’t figure out. “But why did Julian hide it from me?”

Although Julian had lived in the Burton Residence with Sue since he was a child, they were not a part of the Burton Family. Except for Justin, he had only ever come into contact with Arthur. Julian only followed Justin’s example and called Jason his uncle out of politeness, and they never really talked to each other.

Besides, even if they had contact, because Justin and Jason had a bad relationship with one other, there would not be any good interaction between Julian and Jason.

Janice could not understand it either. “That is indeed strange. Did you ask Julian about it?”

“I didn’t dare to ask too much, so I broached the topic vaguely, but he denied it.” Rachel frowned. “I keep getting this feeling that Julian has changed a lot after returning from this business trip. It seems that he has a lot on his mind.”

Janice had no time to take into account Julian’s changes as she still had a lot of things to attend to.

“It’s been two days since Jason returned to Riverdale. The first thing he has to do is to confirm the safety of the hospital, and then go to see the old man. If you are in the hospital at that time, we can support you from the outside while you give us inside intel.”

“I understand, but I’m worried that Jason won’t show up until the last moment.”

After a brief pause, Janice suggested, “I have a plan, but I need your cooperation.”

“Tell me.”
