The Silent Wife

Chapter 130

After Mary came into the room to tidy the small table, Gloria came in hugging a big box.

Initially, Rachel was trying to figure out what fancy new toy Gloria brought along; she was surprised to see her taking out an old CD player to put on the cupboard opposite the bed.

“The music played by an old CD player makes people feel calm and peaceful. I heard from Dr. Peters that you have insomnia, so you can try this out.”

After Gloria inserted a CD into the player, music with a historical tone started playing out of the speakers.

Rachel enjoyed it as she felt much more at peace in her heart.

Taking a seat by her bed, Gloria asked, “How is it?”

‘Thank you.

“You don’t have to thank me. I’m not the one who got this. I’m just a runner.”

Hearing that, Rachel was stunned.

The player seemed to be an authentic vintage item that wasn’t designed to just look old. Hence, it must be an antique with a hefty price. With that information, she could roughly guess the source of this CD player.

Looking at Rachel’s expression, Gloria was caught off guard. “Don’t be like that, his intentions and thoughts are good. It’s not that I want to side with him, but he’s really not a bad person. Though he’s cold on the outside and he may do wrong things at times, he has his reasons.”

As Rachel held onto her phone, her face turned sour.

She couldn’t accept what Gloria said of him. Rachel only knew that Justin was the one who broke Hans’ leg, captured Grandpa Irwin, and decided to marry Amber. Nobody forced him to do any of that.

To put it simply, he was just a possessive scumbag who’d do anything to reap benefits from it.

“Rachel, do you know how Justin got the scar on his face?”
