The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91

Nancy felt her heart ache as she watched Rachel walking off.

Amber was in her bedroom on a phone call with Tina later that night. “Tina, did you know how angry

Justin was when he saw that mute girl earlier? If Julian hadn’t stepped forward to protect and clarify her side of the story, I’m sure that she would have gotten chased out of the house the very next day,” she uttered.

“What happened after that?” Tina asked.

“Justin found out that I was the one who was behind all of this in the end. However, he didn’t blame

Tina let out a chuckle on the other end of the line. “I’ll have to congratulate you then. It looks like you’re one step closer to becoming my cousin-in-law.”

“To be honest,” Amber didn’t finish her words as she was shocked by the person who pushed her bedroom door open. “Dad” she muttered before hastily ending the call.

Jefferey was clutching onto the doorknob, and his face appeared rather grim. “What have you been doing the whole day today?”

Amber’s expression stiffened. “N-Nothing much…”

“I heard everything that you said, and Tomas told me about it as well. That was too bold and risky of a move!” Jefferey cried.

“Dad…” Amber was so shocked that her face turned into the color of paper. “Please listen to me, Dad. I can explain,”

“You should think twice before doing such a thing in the future,” her father replied.

The fear in Amber’s expression was replaced by a look of confusion after she heard what Jefferey said. “Aren’t you… angry at me?” she asked him. Amber couldn’t believe it at all. She had expected her father to give her a huge scolding after finding out about her scheme against Rachel, and Julian’s Involvement in it.

“Rachel’s practically one of those useless moves made in chess,” Jefferey uttered with the same blank expression on his face.

“What do you mean by that, Dad?” Amber asked.

“She has the guts to ignore my orders and words now that she’s in the Burton Family. I should have never allowed her to marry into that family from the very start,” he muttered.

“I told you to watch out for her since a long time ago. She’s a cunning one,” Amber replied.

“Well, that doesn’t mean that you should continue with such reckless plans on your own.” Jefferey shot Amber a glare. “Today’s incident could have taken a turn for the worse if Justin hadn’t decided to be a little more lenient and generous toward you.”

Amber beamed. Justin does treat me pretty well, Dad. He didn’t blame me after what happened today, and he even bought me dinner after that. This shows that he doesn’t care about Rachel at all. She may as well be a decorative piece of furniture at home. I told you, Dad. It would have been much better if you had allowed me to get married into the Burton Family.”

There was a change in Jefferey’s expression as he knitted his brows a little. Hudson Pharmaceuticals had just undergone a spot check by the drug administration agency, and a good number of their medications had been confiscated. Thus, their company had no choice but to delay some of their client’s orders. On top of that, Jefferey had lost so much money after investing in property. With that thought in his mind, he gently patted the back of Amber’s hand. “I’m not against the idea of you dating Justin, but I want you to promise me one thing.”

Amber was delighted. “What is it?”

“I need you to get me some private and confidential files from Justin,” he uttered. Amber was stunned to hear his words.

The next day, Rachel headed out to meet Janice. They had agreed to meet up at their usual spot, and Janice ordered a pot of tea the way she always did.

Where’s Hans? Rachel asked after placing her bag aside.
