The Silent Wife

Chapter 111

Justin looked visibly stunned at first, but he calmed down soon afterward. He then asked indifferently, “Did you come all the way to question me just because of this?”

Rachel’s eyes were bloodshot, and her hands kept trembling. A human life is so unworthy of notice in your eyes. You were the one who did it!

Seeing how aggrieved Rachel was, Justin immediately boiled with rage. He replied with a sneer, “Who cares if I’m the one who did it? This is Riverdale! What can you, a mute illegitimate daughter, do to me?”

Rachel’s eyes were bloodshot. Amid Gloria’s scream, she suddenly picked up a bronze figurine from the desk and struck Justin on the head with it.

“Ouch!” Justin let out a loud cry of pain as he failed to dodge in time. Gloria ran toward them like crazy and pushed Rachel away before asking, “Are you okay, Justin?”

The man covered his forehead with his hand. Blood seeped through his fingers and trickled down the scar on the corner of his eye to his neck, making him look fiercely menacing.

Rachel then slumped to the ground, her eyes full of despair and fearlessness. Hans is dead, and Justin’s the one who did it. I must avenge him!

Gloria stood in front of Justin and yelled like crazy to those outside, “Guards! Where are the security guards?”

People soon burst into the room, and Rachel was dragged away by the security guards as she continued to clutch the bronze figurine. Before she left, she glared furiously at Justin with a look in her eyes that was terrifying-it was as though she would definitely kill him once she had the opportunity.

Justin felt so suffocated, and it seemed like his chest was about to burst while he watched Rachel being marched away. She actually wants to kill me and then herself for the sake of that guy!

“I’ll take you to the hospital.” Gloria looked anxious as she supported Justin with her hand.
