The Silent Wife

“I have something to do, so let’s end it here today. I’ll have a good chat with Uncle Jason about my parents on another day,” Rachel said before leaving.

Besides investigating the cause of Hans’ death, she came back to run a thorough investigation on the murder of her mother. To her, it didn’t matter that the prosecution period had expired.

She could not hold it in anymore, so she told Jefferey that she knew everything. She bet that he would not be able to sit still after hearing so. After all, what right did a murderer have to live in peace?

At that moment, his face turned white and grim as he stood at the desk.

Never had he thought that her memories from when she was a child would come back all of a sudden––not to mention events that occurred more than 20 years ago. What she had said earlier terrified him and sent chills down his spine.

He clenched his fists tightly as he watched her leave. No… If she remembers everything when she was a child, then… She should know about the secret prescription.

Immediately, he made a call. “Hey, it’s me. Help me check on Burton Pharmaceuticals’ latest product. Send me the ingredients list and lab report of the traditional medicine used as soon as possible. There’s no need to specify the dosage. Just the ingredients will do. Hurry!”

The man on the other side of the phone sounded puzzled. “Why do you want to check on their latest product all of a sudden? Is something wrong?”

“I suspect that Rachel has recalled the Hudsons’ prescription and gave it to the Burtons. That ungrateful brat!” Jefferey’s face darkened.

Hearing this, the man on the phone did not know what to say.

Meanwhile, Samuel and Charlotte were having a good time with each other in the lounge. As she kept piling up snacks beside him, she bubbled, “Samuel, eat this. It’s really good!”

“Thank you.”

“There’s no need to thank me.”
