The Silent Wife

Chapter 179

Chapter 179

“Didn’t they say that the boss’ ex-wife passed away?” someone muttered.

“Well, she’s well and alive, isn’t she? I heard she’s the new sales director in the company,” someone else said.

“You mean Chris, the person that our boss hired at a high rate from another country?” another person asked.

“Gosh, are they rekindling old flames?” A series of voices came from the office. For some reason, the words ‘rekindling old flames’ rang loud in Amber’s ears. She dug her fingernails into her palms as she clenched her fists, and her gaze dimmed as she thought about Rachel. So, this is the reason you’re back. You keep saying that you aren’t interested in Justin, that you don’t want anything, but the truth is that you’ve been carefully scheming this all along. You planted your seeds five years ago, and you got that brat to take care of it for you.

The surroundings seemed to turn silent as everyone stiffened up and greeted the person who arrived. “President Burton.”

“Why are you guys huddled at the front entrance? Don’t you guys have work?” Frankie barked. Everyone scurried away and scattered off after that.

“What are you doing here?” Justin asked. He saw Rachel the moment he stepped in.

“Daddy!” Before Rachel could say anything, Justin felt someone clinging onto his leg. Charlotte began to wail at him. “Mommy’s here to save me. I would’ve gotten hit if Mommy hadn’t come to my rescue!”

“You got hit?” Justin immediately knelt down and held onto Charlotte to look for any injuries. “What happened?”

Rachel knitted her brows as her gaze turned cold. “It was all thanks to your fiancée, of course.”

“Don’t you dare accuse me!” The look on Amber’s face was one that was twisted with indignance. “Ignore her nonsense, Justin. I didn’t do anything. I just came here to bring you soup, and Charlotte said that she wanted some, but she was the one who intentionally overturned the bowl of soup!! would’ve been burnt if I hadn’t dodged the hot liquid.”
