The Silent Wife

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.
