The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 529

“What? He hasn’t given up?’ Rachel couldn’t believe what she just heard. “I thought he was undergoing a coronary artery bypass surgery? Why won’t he stop stirring up trouble even in his current condition? Why is he still trying to harm Jolly?”

“I’m not too sure about that, but for now, I guess we should let Frankie find out where he is. If he is in Enistan, I believe he is absolutely behind all this,” Justin said.

Soon, Frankie’s voice was heard from the front. “Mr. and Mrs. Burton, I’ll get on with it as soon as possible.”

Meanwhile, Julian was standing in front of the French window in his hotel room at the ungodly hour. Despite the usual approachable look on his face, he was a cunning and scheming person on the inside. Since the moment he took over the Burton Group as the company’s president, he had created nothing but chaos in Riverdale’s commercial world.

“President Peters.”

Julian could see his assistant’s reflection in the window but didn’t bother to turn around. Instead, he continued to set his eyes on the night view outside the window. “What’s the status? Have you caught her?”

“Um. No.”

Hearing how the assistant stammered, Julian sensed something wrong as he turned around with a scowl on his face. “What happened? Tell me.”

The assistant answered, “I can’t seem to reach the two guys we sent after her.”

“What? You can’t reach them? When was the last time you tried reaching them?”

“Half an hour ago. Do we need to send someone to look for them, President Peters?”

“Look for them? In whose name?”

The assistant blanched, knowing that he just said something silly. After all, the two men they sent after Jolly didn’t know who they were working for. Therefore, if Julian sent someone to search for them, he could risk alerting Justin and the others, letting them know they were onto them.

Julian said, ‘Call Enistan Greenhill Hotel and see if you can learn anything useful about them,”

The assistant was momentarily startled before he nodded rapidly and replied, “Alright, I’ll do it now.”

In fact, Julian wasn’t concerned about the two men he just sent out but was more concerned about Jolly, Justin, and Rachel. After all, if they had successfully returned to the hotel, it would mean that those two men had failed their mission. Upon learning the information he needed, the assistant hung up the call and anxiously said, “President Peters, the receptionist in the hotel said they are back.”

In that instant, Julian’s eyes darkened. Although he had no idea how Jolly was able to escape from his men, he knew nothing could stop her from ruining the wedding the next day now that she was back to the hotel. However, unlike Ryan, Julian couldn’t care less about the wedding but was instead worried that the men he sent after Jolly had given him away. “Book the air tickets. We’re going back to Riverdale now.”

“Now?” Julian’s assistant was stunned.

“Yes, now.”

The next morning, Justin and Rachel had their breakfast in the hotel room before they set out for the wedding. “I doubt we’re going to stand a chance to enjoy the meal there later, so be sure to grab a bite now. Justin poured Rachel a glass of milk, gently reminding her to eat something.

“I guess we’ll be fine. Mrs. Bennett doesn’t know our relationship with Jolly anyway. So, if she runs away with Leroy, I bet she won’t suspect us right away. So, we should have some time to try out the good food there.”

Rachel then sipped the milk in her glass, speaking her mind frankly since Jolly wasn’t around. ‘Furthermore, we don’t know whether she is going to make it either.”
