The Silent Wife

Chapter 19

Chapter 19 

Rachel froze before she grabbed at the bedsheets. She then shook her head and gestured, I didn‘t do anything. 

She was not Jeffrey‘s dog, and she hated the Hudsons. After all, she was forced to marry into the Burton Family only because she was concerned about her grandmother. 

“What? You want me to believe you just because you shook your head?” Justin‘s voice gradually became deeper. His rough hand moved upward, seeming as though he would snap Rachel‘s neck at any moment. 

He was truly incensed now. Ever since the mute woman arrived at their household, the Burtons hadn‘t had a moment of peace. Now, she even caused a huge scandal like this. She was just a mute, yet they had underestimated her. 

Rachel‘s face turned red from exertion as she valiantly tried to fight off his powerful grip. She didn‘t want to die, for her grandmother was still waiting to be rescued–she could not die either. 

“Looks like you won‘t admit it unless I mete out some sort of punishment!” Justin let out a cold scoff when he saw her struggling stubbornly. All of a sudden, he put in more power and lifted her up completely 

Rachel was so startled that she let out a cry. Even though she couldn‘t speak, fear still made her throat produce a hoarse sound. It was 

 

scratchy and unpleasant to the ear, and it drew Justin’s ire. 

The man lifted her up and brought her straight to the bathroom. Then, he flung her into the gigantic bathtub before he coldly ordered, “Take off your clothes!” 

Rachel froze. 

What was Justin going to do? 

She lifted her head, but all that met her gaze was Justin’s icy cold eyes, devoid of any warmth. Right now, any explanation she could give would seem weak and useless. 

Rachel snapped her eyes shut and bit her lip. After some hesitation, she gave into the situation, and she began taking off her skirt with slow movements. Off went her blouse, and off went her safety shorts. In the end, all she had on was her bra. 

Every inch of her body was exposed to Justin‘s eyes, and nothing was hidden. Right now, she felt she was like a plaything with no respect. 

The next moment, Justin turned on the tap filled with cold water. 

Icy cold water spilled over her head, viciously drenching the rest of her body. Instantly, all the warmth that her body had vanished. Rachel shuddered violently as all the color left her
