The Silent Wife

Chapter 109

At that moment, Rachel’s heart was wretched; she had no idea when she’d fallen in love with this man. Perhaps it was at Tina’s wedding banquet, during which she witnessed how he had ignored the rumors and gossip while defending her despite being mad with jealousy himself. Perhaps it was on the day of her car accident, during which he comforted Rachel by telling her not to be afraid because he was waiting for her. Perhaps it was when he came to her defense and scolded the servants shortly after she married into the Burton Family. Or perhaps it happened even earlier…

When Justin saw how Rachel’s eyes slowly dimmed, he felt as though a corner of an iceberg had suddenly broken into pieces. His heart wrenched terribly, and his hands trembled. “I warned you not to test my limits!”

Gasp! Air suddenly filled Rachel’s lungs the instant the grip on her throat loosened, and she collapsed onto the ground and coughed incessantly.

Meanwhile, Justin strode out in a huff. “I’m going to break his other leg right now!”

Instead, Rachel clung to Justin’s leg with all her might. The latter had broken one of Han’s legs before, so she would never let the same thing happen again.

At the sight of this, Justin grew even more irritable. “Let go of me!”

However, Rachel summoned up all her strength and held onto his leg desperately, she couldn’t let go of it no matter what. Then, with a loud bang, Justin pulled open the door to the villa. The violent storm instantly burst into view, and Rachel, who was clinging desperately onto Justin’s leg, was dragged all the way to the courtyard.

The woman’s knees bled from being dragged across the cobblestone path. Then, Justin seized her by the collar and roughly lifted her up. “Are you even willing to risk your life for this man’s sake?”

Rachel couldn’t make any sound other than a whimper, and she couldn’t explain herself. In Justin’s opinion, the only bonding that could exist between a man and a woman was a romantic one. Please let Hans off.

Hurt suddenly showed in Justin’s eyes as the twinge in his heart made him feel very irascible. “All right, just kneel here if you want me to let him off! The longer you kneel, the longer I’ll spare him!” As soon as he finished his sentence, he clutched Rachel’s collar and flung her onto the cobblestone path with a loud thud.

Ugh… Rachel gritted her teeth hard and slowly got up. Then, she knelt down at Justin’s feet as the ice-cold rain pattered against her face. She could hardly open her eyes in the rain, yet her pallid face wore an
