The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98

“Sit.”

The finance director, Fanny Bronson, is Jefferey’s number one right-hand employee, and they’re guarding against me heavily. I can’t access their original account book.

“Don’t worry,” Justin said, pouring out a cup of tea and then pushing it slowly in front of her. “Soon, you’ll be able to check their accounts openly.”

Why?

“Hudson Pharmaceuticals will soon fall into another round of financial crisis.”

Rachel was puzzled at his words, but the cell phone she placed on his desk suddenly vibrated at this time.

From the corner of his eyes, Justin saw Hans’ name and lowered his head to taste the tea. Suddenly, he kept away the tea he just had and the one he offered to Rachel, saying, “This tea is regular. By the

Startled, Rachel secretly held her palms into fists. Justin was clearly aware that Tina didn’t like her, not to mention she almost got her killed. Yet, he wanted her to attend Tina’s engagement party with him.

Can / skip it?

“No,” he said curtly, his eyes fixed on her. “Don’t forget your title now.”

Pursing her lips, she was at a loss for words.

“Also…” He cast a cold look at the cell phone on the desk. “Since it’s a deal, you should show some progress, but you’ve shown me nothing until now. Do you think I can continue to believe that you have what it takes to help me acquire Hudson Pharmaceuticals?”

I’m thinking of a plan.

“I’m afraid there would’ve been progress already had you spent half of the time chatting with others on coming up with a plan.”

His words caught her by surprise, and she stared at him in shock.

“I’m giving you three days. I need to see evidence which shows a concrete financial loophole within Hudson Pharmaceuticals.” His words echoed in the room.

Three days? That’s impossible!

While they were in a stalemate, the door swung open.

“I went out to buy a watermelon. It’s really sweet, Jus,”

Rachel peered over at the person who just entered the room, and that person stopped mid-sentence.

Carrying a watermelon in her hands, Gloria was stunned for a moment when she saw Rachel, and she turned to Justin in reflex. “Uh… Am I interrupting your meeting? Should I go out for now so you guys can continue?”

“No need,” Justin said. “We’re done talking, anyway.”

“I’m going to cut the watermelon, then!” Gloria exclaimed and looked at Rachel happily. “Miss Rachel, why don’t you join us as well?”

Thanks, but no. Then, Rachel stood up and gestured to Justin. I’m leaving first.

Justin’s face was stony, and when he recalled that her phone vibrated for a split second earlier, it turned even more solemn.

Meanwhile, after Rachel left his office, she heard the lively voice of the girl behind her, and her footsteps gradually slowed down; even her knees and feet felt a little numb. If it wasn’t for the purpose of destroying the Hudsons, Justin would never have married a mute like herself.

She once thought that the care she received before was maybe because the scar on his face resonated with her, and that was why he felt a little pity for her.

But Gloria’s appearance shattered all her fantasies, and she could now clearly see that Justin would never have any feelings for herself.

After seeing how he doted on a person he loved, she was sure that this man was only aloof and emotionless to the person he didn’t love.

His warning was like a ticking bomb, and it made her very unsettled.
