The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 388

Chapter 388 Never Truly Even

The following afternoon, Rachel went to the Riverdale Penitentiary. However, the execution was over by the time she arrived. “A total of two prisoners were executed today. May I ask which one are you here to pick up?” “Jason Burton.”

After that, the person in charge glanced at the list in his hand and said, “Jason Burton has already been taken.” Rachel was slightly taken aback. “Who picked him up?

“His nephew. Look, here’s the signature.”

Rachel was startled again when she saw the signature on the list. Then, after a while, she regained her senses and said, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

When did Justin come back?

A month ago, Arthur’s funeral and memorial service were held on the same day. After both events ended, the law redistributed the internal equity of Burton Group according to Arthur’s will. As a result, Julian became the largest shareholder of the Burton Group in a genuine sense, serving as the vice president. In contrast, Justin left Riverdale to go abroad before the shareholders’ meeting. Before he left, he only went to see Gloria. At that time, Charlotte was still at Gloria’s place. He went to say goodbye to Charlotte, but he did not say when he would be back. He only told Charlotte to be good. In a blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Rachel closed the car door, put her hand on the steering wheel, and she hesitated for a long time. Then, finally, she turned on her phone and swiped to contacts. Her slender fingertips lingered on the name ‘Justin Burton’ for a while. Eventually, she swiped down and called Frankie instead.

“Hello? Assistant Beckham? It’s me, Rachel.”

“President Hudson? Is something the matter?”

“It’s not a big deal. It’s just that there was a contract with Burton Group before, and President Burton signed it. But, unfortunately, there’s a problem with the contract.”

“Which contract? Why don’t you send me the contract?”

“I can’t explain it briefly over the phone. I would rather communicate with him face to face when he comes back. Is he back?”

“President Burton? Yeah, he’s back. Didn’t he contact you?”

“Where is he now?”

Since Rachel asked hastily, Frankie, who was on the other end of the call, was stunned for a moment.

What’s this situation right now?

Autumn was approaching, and the continuous rain in Riverdale for several days brought chills. The cemetery looked more and more desolate.

After Justin put the urn in the cemetery, the staff shut the graveyard.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“It is what we should do. This is our job. Not to mention that you also gave such a big commission.”

Justin said nothing as he held an umbrella; he looked at the tombstone in front of him. The name ‘Jason Burton’ was engraved precisely and clearly. Jason, you have lived this life shamelessly seeking personal gain. If there is truth to reincarnation, I hope you will live your next life more righteously.

“Then, we’ll get going first. It’s a bit cold today. Sir, please don’t stand for too long.”

Justin hummed in agreement.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the staff was wearing raincoats to facilitate their work. They left in a hurry, but they saw a woman come in with an umbrella when they left the cemetery.

Several people were surprised. Not many people would come to the cemetery at this time and under such terrible weather conditions.

Justin stood in front of the tombstone for a long time.

Not far from Jason’s tomb was Arthur’s cemetery, and there was only a small path between the father and son. A little further away was the joint tomb of Justin’s parents.

I was only three years old when my parents died in a car accident, and I have no impression of my biological parents. So for me, Grandpa and Sue are my real relatives.

Justin sprinkled the wine on the tombstone as he thought of this, “Jason, a farewell toast for you.”

When he spilled half of the wine, he raised his head and drank the rest. After that, he stared at the tombstone as though in a trance for a long time.

“If you drink too much here, it will not be good for the security guarding the tomb.”

A familiar female voice rang out behind him, and it startled him out of his stupor.

This moment was like a dream to Justin. In astonishment, he turned around and saw Rachel standing behind him, holding an umbrella. She looked at him with her pair of quiet eyes, showing no emotion.

“What brings you here?”
