The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 455


“This is the election invite sent over by Riverdale Charity Foundation. The following day, the secretary handed over an invitation to Rachel at Hudson Pharmaceuticals.


“How many candidates are running for the election?” Rachel asked as she glanced at it. “There were three candidates before you went on leave, but there’s four now.”

“Is their support rate high?” “Initially, it was a tight race between the three candidates since they were quite influential within Riverdale. However, after the fourth candidate joined, I heard that a lot of people switched sides and decided to vote for him. If everything goes well, he will probably win the position of vice president during this election.”


“Is that so? Who is that capable?” Rachel asked in surprise. The secretary paused before answering, “It’s President Peters from the Burton Group.”

Hearing that, her gaze widened in astonishment as she thought, Julian is running for vice president of the charity foundation?

“Miss Hudson, are we going to cast our votes for President Peters?” the secretary asked carefully, Everyone in the company didn’t know what the exact relationship between Rachel

and Julian was. Rumors had it that they were getting married, but since they hadn’t met in a long time, everyone speculated that the wedding might have been called off. “When is the election?” Rachel furrowed her brows.

“It’s 2.00PM this Friday.”

“I got it. Let me think about it.” After her secretary left, she leaned into her leather chair while deep in thought. Suddenly, her phone sounded as a reminder she had previously set appeared on the screen. Then, Jolly, who was holding some pastries in one hand, walked in and saw Rachel grabbing her coat and keys, seemingly ready to head out.

“Are you leaving? I’ve bought some cake and was thinking of sharing it with you.” “No, thanks. I need to make a trip to St. Ignatius Church.”

“St. Ignatius Church? Why so sudden? Wait, are you a Catholic?” “What are you talking about? I’m going over there to meet Diana.” Justin was the one who told her that Evan’s stepmother resided near St. Ignatius Church.

“I’ll be leaving now since I also have to do some shopping.” Rachel left her office right after that..

St. Ignatius Church was the most famous church within Riverdale for fulfilling people’s wishes. However, Rachel couldn’t confirm it since none of her family members were Catholic. She had only been there once when she was younger, and Nancy was the one who brought her there because she often got sick easily. Hence, they went over and tried their luck. Oddly enough, Rachel’s condition improved after they visited the church, and Nancy became a devout Catholic since then.

Rachel thought that Diana was probably a Catholic since she stayed within the mountains near St. Ignatius Church. Thus, she wouldn’t be fond of tacky jewelry. After wandering around the mall for some time, she finally decided to buy a purple clay tea set and went home to get some of the finest tea leaves. She believed that those would make a good gift.

It was 3.00PM when she almost arrived at St. Ignatius Church, which was the perfect time for visiting. Her phone also rang at the same time. Rachel answered the phone. “Have you arrived?”

“Yes, I have,” Justin responded from the other line of the conversation. “I parked my car in the parking lot outside the church. It’s pretty spacious, so you can easily park your car here.”

“Alright, I got it.”

“Drive safe. I’ll wait for you here.”

“Alright.” After the call ended, Rachel reset her navigation system and set the destination to St. Ignatius Church’s car parking lot.
