The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47

The sky was already bright when Rachel regained consciousness. She didn’t know when the man next to her left, but the residual warmth of his body was still on the bed. When she tried to move, she could feel the soreness and pain all over her body as if she was crushed last night.

Rachel tried her best to sit up while she held her blanket. After a moment of dizziness, she stared at the light shining through the curtains and thought about what Justin had said to her last night.

“I want you to remember this. Once you’ve joined the Burton Family, only I can decide when you can leave.”

Rachel then tightly held the blanket. Am I destined to be under the control of someone for the rest of my life? No. For Grandma‘s sake, I must change my current situation. I can’t let it continue.

As she thought about it, her phone suddenly rang. On the other side, Jefferey’s cold voice was heard. “I want you to come home immediately as I need to talk to you.”

As she looked at her phone, Rachel furrowed her brows. He’s definitely calling me over to ask about what happened that day at the banquet. It just so happens that I have something to ask him too.

When she arrived at the Hudson Residence, the housekeeper informed her that Jefferey was waiting for her in the backyard.

“I’ve told you before that I’m only having her by my side for a purpose other than placing someone near Justin.”

“What purpose does she have? That mute whom you raised for many years is always bullying Amber.”

When Rachel came to the entrance of the backyard, she could hear the voices of two men through a screen. One of whom was Amber’s uncle-Josh Steward.

Since Josh had doted on his niece, Amber, he was now infuriated with Jefferey’s decision. “Jefferey! Don’t forget that Amber’s mother suffered from depression then because of that mute! Do you want to see Amber going down the same path?”

“That won’t happen. Amber is my precious daughter; otherwise, I wouldn’t have allowed Rachel to marry Justin. Don’t you know what kind of a person Justin is?”

As she listened to their conversation, Rachel froze on the spot as she suddenly felt empty in her heart.

He’s right. Everyone knows what kind of a person Justin is. He knew that sending me over would be a torture, but he still did it. It is a fact that I was never well-liked in the Hudson Family.

Then, she heard Josh’s response. “Since she has married him, you should just sever your relations with her. Overall, I don’t want Amber to see her ever again. Even I feel infuriated whenever I see her.”

“I can’t do that. Even if she isn’t married to the Burton Family, I still can’t afford to cut off my relations with her.”

“Why?”

“Have you forgotten that she is our only clue to the formula?”

The formula? Rachel felt a thump in her heart. I’m sure that he mentioned that I’m the only clue to that formula.

However, she didn’t dare to continue eavesdropping on their conversation anymore, so she went to

wait for him in the living room. At the same time, she carefully thought about their conversation and felt that something was wrong.

Not long after, Jefferey sent Josh off and saw her in the living room. “When did you return?” Jefferey’s expression looked strange.

Rachel calmly explained, I‘ve been here for a while. Rosa told me that you are meeting a guest, so I chose to wait here.

Now that she had explained to him, she nodded her head at Josh, who was behind Jefferey, to greet him. However, Josh let out a grunt and glanced at her with disdain before leaving without saying a word.

After Jefferey had sent the man off, he returned to sit down while the maid served them with some

tea.

Dad, what did you want to ask me about?

However, she remained calm. The truth depends on who you believe in. No matter what I say, you’ll always believe Amber’s words. Am I right?

So, if she commits murder in the future, are you going to frame me for her crime as well if you have the chance to do so?

While she looked at his angry face, she became calmer instead. Dad, I have dreamed of Mom for the past two days.

She wore a gentle expression. My memory has become better recently.

Rachel tentatively explained, I keep having the same dream of Mom bringing me up to the mountains to collect the herbs. At the same time, she kept telling me to memorize the
