The Silent Wife

Chapter 160

“Do you really think I’d believe such an obvious lie?” Justin shouted, his voice echoing throughout the hall.

“You’d rather believe a stranger over your own family?”

“Just because you’re my family doesn’t mean you won’t lie.”

Julian couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Tell him what Janice gave you, Rachel.” The evidence would prove what Julian said was the truth whether Justin liked it or not, or so Julian thought.

Meanwhile, Rachel had been standing there silently for a while. Since she was mute, she never had a big presence whenever it came to groups. Even though there were only the three of them, she was little more than invisible among them. Contrary to Julian’s anger, Rachel looked calm. Since Justin said he found Katie, she didn’t want to explain anything anymore, even though she didn’t know who that ‘Katie’ was or how she managed to impersonate her. Simply put, there was no point explaining anything to someone who never believed her. Thank you, Dr. Peters, but you don’t have to come up with these excuses.

“What’s wrong, Rachel?” Julian stared at her in disbelief. “I thought you got Janice’s package.”

Well, he says he’s found Katie and obviously, it’s not me. Rachel then made some simple gestures, but it felt heavy when she put her hand down.

Justin glanced at her and a sliver of suspicion rose within him.

Julian clenched his fists. He had been holding his fury back for almost a year now, but it finally erupted at that point and he hurled a punch at Justin. “Why won’t you believe her?”

The punch caught Justin by surprise and it hit him right in the face. The impact sent him staggering backward, toppling a chair on his way. Rache gasped but she couldn’t stop them in time.

Even though Justin was caught by surprise the first time, he managed to launch a kick when Julian tried to attack him again as he was much more agile than the other. In the end, they got tangled in a brawl.

Panicked, Rachel waved at the bodyguards outside. The bodyguards realized something was up, so they charged inside and pinned Julian down. Rachel tried to pull the bodyguards away but she was shoved off instead

“Rachel!” Julian couldn’t move an inch since he was pinned against the floor. “Justin, you’re going to regret this one day!” he roared.

Meanwhile, Justin pushed himself up with the sofa and wiped the blood that was trickling down his mouth. “I never regret anything. And it’s getting late. Your mother’s going to be worried if you aren’t home yet.” Justin
