The Silent Wife

Chapter 40

Chapter 40

In the end, two days passed since Rachel last saw Justin.

“Mrs. Burton, Young Master Justin has a meeting so he’ll be back later.”

The driver explained to her the reason Justin was absent as he drove her to the birthday dinner party.

Meanwhile, she nodded to indicate that she understood. Nonetheless, there was a hint of apprehension on her face.

Rachel was well-aware of her non-existent position in Justin’s heart. Furthermore, his instructions for her to attend this birthday dinner weren’t even for the sake of celebrating the birthday of his father-in law, Jefferey.

Right after she got out of the car, the butler led her toward the reception area.

“Miss Rachel, the Master is greeting his guests at the front foyer and Miss Amber is in the living room with her friends. I’ll lead you there.”

Thanks.

As they crossed the main hall, the large semi-outdoor swimming pool was located right past the french doors and there were a bunch of balloons by the side of the pool.

Suddenly, she was caught by surprise and she slowed down her footsteps subsequently.

She could distinctly remember from her fuzzy memories of the first and only time she came here many years ago.

It was during Amber’s tenth birthday and Jefferey had spent 1.8 billion to purchase this manor, which was registered under Amber’s name. That day, there were many guests in attendance, such as their relatives and elders from the Hudson Family and Jefferey’s business associates.

Rachel remembered a ten-year-old Amber being surrounded by the guests and the latter stood right in the middle, standing out like a shining diamond among the children.

“Rachel, if you agree to be my servant then I’ll allow you to come and stay with me anytime you want.”

“Amber, are you actually asking your sister to be your servant?”
