The Silent Wife

Chapter 211

Chapter 211

Since the senior president of the Carter Enterprise, Richard, rarely showed up in public, it was Marilyn who often socialized with the elites of Riverdale. This was the reason why Sue and Amber only knew her and not her husband.

“What do you mean that she is your goddaughter?” Sue was in disbelief. “How did Rachel become your goddaughter?”

“What’s so surprising about it? She and my daughter have been best friends for many years. Why would I need the Burton Family’s permission to acknowledge her as my goddaughter?”

Goddaughter? Sue quickly explained, “That’s not what I meant.”

“I’m not interested in what you’re trying to say.” Marilyn wasn’t in the mood to explain to Sue. Instead, Marilyn turned toward Rachel and held her hand. “I’m sorry for what you had to experience. Don’t worry. With me here, I don’t believe that these two outsiders are qualified to stop us from joining the Burton Family’s banquet.”

Rachel softly replied, “I’m fine, Mrs. Carter.”

I believe your Aunt Sue clearly heard it all.” It would have been easy for Sue to direct the blame at Rachel if it was just her alone, but now that Rachel had the entire Carter Family backing her, Sue quickly explained with a tense expression, “Justin, this is Amber’s fault. She has crossed the line with her words and offended Mr. and Mrs. Carter. Luckily, they’re generous enough to forgive her. Tell her to quickly apologize. Meanwhile, Amber glared at Sue in disbelief while she clenched both her fists. After five years, she was already used to Sue always prioritizing her own interest above everything else. “What is it, President Burton? Are you planning to protect your woman?” Jolly sneered. Before he could speak, Amber grabbed his arm and she stood up while gritting her teeth. “I’ll apologize, so please stop troubling Justin since this is my fault. I’m sorry.” However, just as Jolly was about to say something, she was halted by Rachel, who then responded, “Since she has apologized, we should just forget about it.
