The Silent Wife

Chapter 195

Rachel noticed Samuel in the photo right away. Even though he was censored, his curly hair told her who he was, not to mention that she was right beside him, holding his hand. An article with a headline that read, ‘President Burton’s ex-wife returns with an illegitimate son. The shocking truth behind this aristocrat’s marriage, was making waves on the Internet.

It wasn’t a long article, but it managed to make Rachel out to be a cheating woman who was dumped by

Justin because she had a lover out there. The article wasn’t fully made up, since the writer knew Rachel used to be a mute. As there was truth among the lies, it was hard for her to explain things properly. Rachel knew that, so she knew this was trouble.

“When was this posted?”

“This morning,” Frankie answered quickly. “The PR team didn’t think much about it at first, but then it went viral. It’s getting worse by the minute. Sir, our share prices have been dropping ever since this was posted. The Board of Directors has been calling us to talk about this.”

Even though Rachel and Justin were already divorced, the public questioned the decision of hiring her to work in Burton Pharmaceuticals. Now that a scandal had popped up, it was certain that the share prices would drop.

Justin looked at Rachel coldly. “What’s your plan now?”

“A press release, of course. We’ll tell them that the illegitimate child doesn’t exist. As long as we tell the same story, the public can’t say anything about it.”

“What about the truth?”

Rachel was stunned, but she clenched her fists, for she knew what was coming.

Justin asked, “The article isn’t important. Are you going to tell me about that boy? Is he your son?” Justin knocked on the tablet’s screen, producing two loud thuds.
