The Silent Wife

Chapter 43

 

Chapter 43

Justin very rarely appeared in public, but the guests present at the Hudson’s dinner party could clearly identify him by the ugly scar on his face.

“Is this Justin Burton?”

“He doesn’t look as terrifying as everyone mentioned.”

“Exactly! And his relationship with Rachel seems quite good too.”

Just then, the crowd whispered among themselves in the ballroom. Fortunately, there was background music to mask their voices and at the same time, someone had already approached Justin to greet him so the scene became quite lively all of a sudden.

Countless people came forward to hand Justin their name cards. Just then,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) Rachel instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand and walk off but Justin grabbed her hand tightly. She glanced sideways and met his calm, steady look.

All of a sudden, she was significantly shocked. After that, she stood there hearing the compliments from the crowd and once she looked up again, she had already revealed a graceful smile to the crowd around them.

Since young, she had practically never experienced such attention from anyone. In the past ten years, her life had been as quiet as her condition and there was not a single ripple in her uneventful life. She was always the non-existent person at every event of the Hudson Family.

However, her marriage to Justin seemed to be the turning point of her life.

“Amber, your sister and brother-in-law seem to have a good relationship.”

Amber’s friend’s words hit her ears and the ugly look already present on Amber’s face turned uglier. “It’s all just for show. He can’t possibly ignore her in front of so many people!”

As Amber said that, she left her friend and strode purposefully toward Justin.

“Justin.”

Rachel was currently by Justin’s side greeting the crowd when she was suddenly interrupted by Amber’s voice.

“Justin, why did you arrive so late? Rachel came by herself earlier so I thought that you were not joining us tonight.”
