The Silent Wife

Chapter 167

“She can’t go now.”

As Coraline passed Rachel’s message, everyone was surprised.

“Why?” Victor stood up suddenly. “Is she scared of being found out by Justin?”

“No. She is pregnant.”

Everyone else was taken aback.

Although they had guessed that Rachel was pregnant when Julian mentioned that Flynn was the director of the gynecology department, it was still unbelievable to hear the truth right from Coraline’s mouth.

No one wanted to believe that Justin actually imprisoned a pregnant woman.

Victor said coldly to Gloria, “Are you still going to help him out now? He is a lunatic.”

Gloria bit her lip and had nothing to say.

Janice glanced at them. “Then what do we do now? What does Rachel want to do?”

Coraline replied, “We’ll have to wait until after she gives birth.”

“After she gives birth? Wouldn’t it be more troublesome to escape with a child?” Victor was puzzled.

Coraline hesitated for a while. “She said that she will leave the child behind.”

The room fell quiet all of a sudden.

No one could imagine how much Rachel was wronged and tortured to the point that she didn’t even want her child and only wanted to run away from that man.

Two months later, Justin officially announced the wedding date with Amber.

This meant the marriage between the Burton Group and Hudson Pharmaceuticals was set in stone. The Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ stock market had skyrocketed overnight, and its market value had doubled as well, effectively lifting them from the past turmoil.

On the night of the press conference, there was a gala dinner.

Amber held Justin’s hand and toasted with the guests with a smile.

“Thank you, Mr. Riley.”

“Congratulations!”

“Justin, the designer I invited from Italy has designed a few wedding dresses for me. Can you help me take a look at them later?”

“Just get whichever you want.”

Frankie hurriedly walked in from outside but stopped talking as soon as he saw Amber. “President Burton.”

Hearing that, Justin’s eyes narrowed as he let go of Amber. “I have something to deal with. You can go ahead first.”
