The Silent Wife

Chapter 58

I didn’t

Rachel shook her head furiously to deny.

“You didn’t join hands with Jefferey, or you didn’t poison me?”

Justin gave another snort. “Ah, I forgot. You didn’t have time to poison me, did you?”

Rachel leaned against the headboard with helplessness reflected in her eyes. She couldn’t do anything except shake her head and deny it.

I really don’t know what that bottle of medicine does. It wasn’t the medicine I got before.

Justin grew impatient. “You don’t have to rush to deny it. It doesn’t matter anymore. By the way, did you forget about something? Our deal is still ongoing.”

Rachel froze.

I already did as you told me to. I went to the vineyard.

“Yes, but what of the end result? You didn’t get the prescription, did you?”.

At the mention of the prescription, Rachel gave her own palm a mighty pinch in an attempt to calm herself.

Will you let me go if I give you the prescription?

Justin’s cold gaze bore into her. “You know the prescription?”

Jefferey took me to the vineyard and showed me the prescription.

“Why would he suddenly take you to the vineyard?”

It‘s part of a deal. I agreed to help with his work at the Burtons.
