The Silent Wife

Chapter 141

Chapter 141

It was late at night and beside Rachel was a sleeping Justin. The sound of steady breathing was right next to her ear like a slight breeze. As such, she carefully lifted the corner of the quilt and left the bed. After confirming that Justin was asleep, she left the bed on her bare feet. Then, she pushed open the door of the second bedroom and entered the bathroom. Pulling apart the shower curtain, she found the bathtub empty and even the blood stains had disappeared. Where was the said person?

Rachel blinked hard to make sure she wasn’t hallucinating. Where was the woman covered in blood and on the verge of dying? She looked around and tried to locate blood stains in the bathroom, yet she found nothing. However, she noticed that the clothes she wore that day were also gone. However, a USB flash drive was left on the washroom table. Her mind snapped back to what Coraline said-to go and look for Janice.

The next day, Rachel brought the tea into the study and saw someone known as President Shaw, whom Coraline had accompanied the day before, sitting in the study as he lit a cigar. There was a silver safe on the coffee table. He elaborated, “Yesterday’s incident was an accident. I was not careful in choosing my people and almost ruined the big event.”

Justin asked, “Has the person been caught?”

“No, but she can’t make any waves. She definitely can’t escape from Brookville.”

“You have always been very thorough in your work.”

“Thank you. Integrity is paramount in business. Our business is risky, so let’s check the goods first…”

President Shaw’s hand rested on the safe as his cigar smoke curled in the air. Next, he suddenly glanced at Rachel.

Justin ordered, “Rachel, why don’t you head out first?”

Thus, she nodded obediently and left the study. Back in the bedroom, she quickly wore headphones and soon heard the conversation in the study coming from the device. In fact, she had recorded the wiretap, which Janice had sent to the hotel for her under the tea tray.

President Shaw was saying, “If Burton Group’s medical line can achieve such quality, regarding this opportunity abroad, I can pull the strings and give half of it to Burton Group.”

listened to the conversation in the headphones, Rachel felt anxious. Justin had intervened in Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ business, but what business was it that required such caution?
