The Silent Wife

Chapter 26

Meanwhile, Amber felt a little awkward during Justin’s interrogation inside the bedroom. “O-Of course, I have! It’s a family heirloom!”

Having mastered psychology after years of business, he could tell she hadn’t the slightest idea based on how she was mumbling.

You sly fox, Jefferey! You don’t even trust your daughter!

However, since Jefferey had sent Amber to study medicine, it was obvious that he wanted to prepare her to take over Hudson Pharmaceuticals in the future.

Justin didn’t expose his rival despite knowing this.

Just then, Amber hastily switched the topic. “Honestly, Justin, I’ve got no interest in managing the family business. Besides, Dad sent me to study traditional medicine, so I think I should branch out on my own. Why don’t you lend me a hand?”

Justin lifted his gaze from the book and asked, “What do you want?”

“I want to work in a hospital.”

“Which one?”

“Tran-Q.” Amber Warily studied Justin’s expression, fearing that she might expose herself.

Tran-Q?

Justin seemed like he had realized something.

“Sure.” He spoke with a freezing tone that resonated within the house, and anyone who paid attention to his voice could easily be captivated.

It was lunchtime soon, and Amber continuously served food to Justin.

In response, he simply thanked her and turned to grab a glass of water without touching any of his cutleries.

Upon seeing that, Rachel mentally shook her head.

Having spent her fair share of days at the Burton Residence, she knew Justin’s dining habits very well. For one, would never eat any food that was served to him with personal cutleries. Also, as long as there wasn’t a serving spoon on the table, he wouldn’t start eating.
