The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385 The Right Decision

Rachel was utterly flummoxed, and she could not believe what she had just heard. “Pardon?” “Julian! I said, Julian Peters! You weren’t mistaken.” Jolly emphasized Julian’s name over and over again excitedly. “Can you believe it? Julian is the grandson of Old Mr. Burton, an illegitimate child of the Burton Family.”

Suddenly, Rachel’s hand shook, and the pen she was holding created a tragic scratch on the report.

Not noticing Rachel’s reaction, Jolly continued saying, “Everyone is now guessing who Julian’s father is. Old Mr. Burton only has two sons in total. So his eldest son, Justin’s father, is likely to be Julian’s father. After all, Sue was his sister-in-law. So the story of the affairs between a brother-in-law and sister-in-law is now spreading.”

“That’s impossible!”

“Huh?” Jolly was taken aback. “Why is it impossible?”

“When Justin’s father died, Julian wasn’t even born yet.”

“Really?” Just like those outsiders, Jolly did not know when Justin’s father died.

After that, Rachel explained, “The relationship between Justin’s father and Old Mr. Burton was not very good. He ran away from home and got married secretly in the past. When he died unexpectedly, Justin was only about three or four years old. Later, Old Mr. Burton took Justin home, but because he was young and afraid of strangers, Sue followed him to the Burton Residence to take care of him.”

These are the things Justin told me back then. I still remember them very well.

Jolly said, “Was Sue already married, right? So then, who was her husband?”

“I’m not sure. But Julian was indeed born in the Burton Residence.”

“Could it be that Old Mr. Burton has a third son?” Jolly made a presumption with her overactive mind.

Rachel side-eyed Jolly and said, “Have you ever thought of another possibility?”

“What possibility? If it’s not Justin’s father, doesn’t that indicate that Old Mr. Burton has a third son? There’s no way it was Jason.” Jolly was in a world all by herself when she finished her sentence. However, she realized something when she finished her rant.

She looked at Rachel in surprise. “No way!”

After putting down the pen, Rachel took out her car keys. “I’m heading out for a while.”

“Hey, take me with you!”

“No, you have to go home. Your parents will probably be looking for you once they hear the news.”

With Julian suddenly becoming the successor of Burton Group, they must postpone Carter Enterprise’s acquisition plans for Burton Group. At the very least, they have to figure out the current situation.

Rachel drove out of Hudson Pharmaceuticals alone.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later.” Unfortunately, Julian wasn’t picking up her calls.

No doubt, there must be many people who want to call Julian at this hour.

Therefore, Rachel called the hospital again.

The call went through, and Julian’s intern answered the phone. “Didn’t you know? Dr. Peters had resigned from the hospital.”

“When did this happen?”

“Dr. Peters submitted his resignation report half a month ago. Today, the resignation process was finally over, and he had packed up all his things. The hospital also switched several of us to another mentor.”

“Then, do you know where he’s gone?”

“I’m sorry, I don’t.”

“Thank you. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

“No worries.”
