The Silent Wife

Chapter 38

Rachel could not refute Arthur’s words.

Everyone in the Burton Family knew that the person whom Justin initially wanted to marry was Amber, but she, a mute, was sent to the Burton Family on the night of their wedding instead.

Before Rachel could reply, Sue immediately continued speaking, “I know, right? I heard that she threatened her sister and said that our family is a dangerous tiger den. Apart from that, she also said that Justin is ugly and weird. Then, she pretended to be doing her younger sister a favor by marrying into our family.”

Rachel’s expression immediately changed when she heard that.

‘I have never said these words.’

“You are still trying to argue!” Sue still wanted to say something but Arthur broke her off.

With the great pressure placed on her, she shook her head.

Arthur’s expression darkened in response. “You don’t want to do that? Even if you are the young lady of the Hudson Family, you are not good enough for our family. On top of that, you are an illegitimate daughter. No matter what, to our family,”

The words ‘illegitimate daughter’ stabbed at Rachel like sharp daggers.

She clenched her fists so hard that her fingernails dug into her skin.
