The Silent Wife

Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Although it was already midnight, the bars along Riverdale’s Vista Road were still brightly illuminated by the streetlights.

“Why did you ask me out so late at night?”

Tina toyed with the wine glass on the table as she dragged her sharp nails along the surface of the glass.

Then, Amber explained, “Remember when you wanted me to investigate Henry’s current location? | managed to get it two days ago.”

Tina’s expression changed at that moment and she was becoming agitated. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Where is he now?”

“He’s at a factory situated in the north of Africa. That’s probably the furthest foreign factory under the Burton Group. Your father had transferred him there to be a coolie.”

“Send me his exact address.”

“I’m afraid doing that would be useless.” Amber frowned with a conflicted expression.

“What’s wrong?”

Then, she opened the gallery in her phone before she pushed her phone slowly toward Tina’s direction.

Under the illuminating bar lights, the dazzling phone display showed the image of a foreign death certificate with Henry’s name printed on it.

It was at this moment when Tina’s pupils constricted before she snatched the phone in disbelief.

“Two days ago, my men returned with the news that Henry was robbed on his way to purchase supplies and by the time those from the Burton Group found him, he was already gone..”

“That’s impossible” Tina mumbled as her face paled. Then, she quickly contacted someone and asked with a cold voice, “Hugh, where is Henry right now?”

“I don’t want to listen to your excuses! If you don’t tell me where he is now, I’ll make sure that you won’t be working in Burton Group from tomorrow onward!”

After she heard something from the other end of the call, her gaze slowly dimmed.

She suddenly threw the phone aside in anger, which resulted in a loud crash and causing Amber to shriek before she stared at Tina in fear.

A second later, tears started to fall from Tina’s eyes.

A while later, Amber composed herself before she tried to console Tina. “Tina, you have to stay strong because it’s impossible for the dead to be resurrected. I feel like I’m also partly responsible for this as I shouldn’t have invited you over for my father’s birthday party. If I hadn’t done that, Rachel wouldn’t have discovered the truth and the subsequent events wouldn’t have…”
