The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 393

Chapter 393 They’re Even Now

“President Burton.”

Frankie stared at Justin in disbelief. “Burton Group is the work of generations of Burtons. Are you just going to hand it over? And to Julian?”

Justin merely replied, “Julian is also a member of the Burton Family.”

Frankie took a deep breath. “President Burton, there’s something I didn’t want to bring up because you wouldn’t let me check, but now it seems like I have to. If Julian is a Burton, who is his biological father? Others don’t know, but I figure you should.”

Justin frowned slightly.

After Jason’s incident, Julian sent Sue abroad at once. Even he couldn’t contact her. It wasn’t hard to figure out the relationship between Julian and Jason.

“Have you ever thought that President Hudson had nothing to do with Old Mr. Burton’s death? Perhaps—”

“That’s enough.” Justin interrupted Frankie and said in a low voice, “Don’t bring this topic up again.”

“But Old Mr. Burton was clearly poisoned. Are you going to continue deceiving yourself? Whether it was President Hudson or Dr. Peters who did it, this is murder. They can go to jail!”

“There’s no evidence, so who are you planning to send to jail?”

Justin shot Frankie a glance, startling him.

Justin continued, “There’s no need to talk about this, and there’s no need to tell me about the affairs of Burton Group anymore. I’m not interested.”

Frankie was taken aback. “Are you saying that I have a big mouth? Fine. I won’t say anything more in the future. Just treat it as me coming here to gossip because I was too bored!”

Once he finished his rant, Frankie left in a huff.

He was obviously rather frustrated at the very least.

When leaving, he bumped into Gloria, who had just arrived. She saw Frankie coming her way and politely greeted him, “Assistant Beckham.”

Unfortunately, Frankie was utterly livid, so he nodded indifferently, greeted her, and stalked off.

Gloria was confused.

What’s up with him?

In the study, Justin was still looking at his calligraphy work.

As soon as Gloria entered, she asked, “What happened to Assistant Beckham? He ignored me when I talked to him. Did you scold him?”

“No.”

His answer was concise, with no intention of explaining whatsoever.

“Why are you here?”

“Oh.” Gloria lifted the pastries in her hand. “I bought some pastries from Levain Bakery. There are croissants and other stuff in here. I’ll put it here for you.”

“You know I don’t like sweet stuff.”

“It’s not for you.”

Gloria rolled her eyes at him. “This Saturday, bring this to Triburg Valley when you come to find us, then give this to Charlotte and Samuel.”

“This Saturday?”

Justin was slightly startled. “Don’t you have something planned for Saturday?”

“What? You know about it?” Gloria stared at him in surprise. “We do have something planned. Who told you that?”

“Rachel mentioned it, so I won’t pick Charlotte up this week.”

“Miss Rachel met with you? What did you all talk about?”

“Nothing much. We just had a meal together.”

“You even had a meal together? Didn’t I say that Miss Rachel’s attitude toward you has improved? It’s different from before. You have to take advantage of this opportunity. This Saturday, why don’t you take the initiative to—”

“I’m not going.”
