The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40

In the end, two days passed since Rachel last saw Justin.

“Mrs. Burton, Young Master Justin has a meeting so he’ll be back later.”

The driver explained to her the reason Justin was absent as he drove her to the birthday dinner party.

Meanwhile, she nodded to indicate that she understood. Nonetheless, there was a hint of apprehension on her face.

Rachel was well-aware of her non-existent position in Justin’s heart. Furthermore, his instructions for her to attend this birthday dinner weren’t even for the sake of celebrating the birthday of his father-in law, Jefferey.

Right after she got out of the car, the butler led her toward the reception area.

“Miss Rachel, the Master is greeting his guests at the front foyer and Miss Amber is in the living room with her friends. I’ll lead you there.”

Thanks.

As they crossed the main hall, the large semi-outdoor swimming pool was located right past the french doors and there were a bunch of balloons by the side of the pool.

Suddenly, she was caught by surprise and she slowed down her footsteps subsequently.

She could distinctly remember from her fuzzy memories of the first and only time she came here many years ago.

It was during Amber’s tenth birthday and Jefferey had spent 1.8 billion to purchase this manor, which was registered under Amber’s name. That day, there were many guests in attendance, such as their relatives and elders from the Hudson Family and Jefferey’s business associates.

Rachel remembered a ten-year-old Amber being surrounded by the guests and the latter stood right in the middle, standing out like a shining diamond among the children.

“Rachel, if you agree to be my servant then I’ll allow you to come and stay with me anytime you want.”

“Amber, are you actually asking your sister to be your servant?”

“She’s no sister of mine! What kind of sister is she? Do you have a mute sister?”(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)

“Hahaha...”

At that time, Rachel had just come to stay with the Hudson Family for about two years and she had been quite unwell as she recuperated in the hospital for almost a year. Therefore, the time she had actually spent together with Amber was barely more than six months and the former had merely known that the latter had a straightforward but wild personality.

“You stupid mute. It would be an honor for you to be my servant. Don’t you dare act so high and mighty!”

“Let’s hit her!”

“Ah!”

“Blood! She’s bleeding!”

Just then, Rachel stood by the edge of the french windows and suddenly, she felt a prick of pain on her

forehead which caused her brows to furrow tightly.

“Miss Rachel.” The butler’s voice brought her back to reality.

“Miss Rachel, what’s wrong?”

She revealed a forced smile and shook her head. I’m fine. Let’s go.

In fact, she wasn’t originally so submissive but she was forced to give in as she was in a less advantageous position. She had come to the realization that remaining alive was not as easy as she thought after going through hardships and experiencing so much pain.

In the living room, there was a group of youngsters gathered around. Most of them present were youngsters from the Hudson clan, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)  plus some of Amber’s classmates and friends.

“Amber, your elder sister is here.”

Standing among the crowd, Amber turned her head and just then, there was a flash of disdain across her face. Half-jokingly, she replied, but there was a serious note to her tone, “My sister’s no longer the same as before. She’s full of air now. Everyone’s here waiting for her to arrive. I guess she’s made a good match so she no longer gives any regard to us.”

Rachel frowned in response and merely nodded to the crowd as an indication of greeting. Then, she remained silent.

Meanwhile, Amber looked behind her and she purposely raised her voice as she announced, “Rachel, why are you here by yourself? Where’s Justin?”

Amber didn’t address Justin as her brother-in-law but she called him by his name to prove their intimate relationship.

He’s busy so he couldn’t make it under short notice.

“I heard that the Hudson Family was spared because Amber went to plead for mercy.”

Rachel frowned and responded, Why don’t you go and get it yourself?

However, Amber raised her voice and shouted, “Hey! Don’t you know where the cellar is? If you don’t then make sure to ask one of the servants. They can’t understand your gestures so you’d better bring a notepad with you!”
