The Silent Wife

Chapter 224

Chapter 224

“When Rachel and I were married, was I a monster to her?”

At those words, Frankie’s heart skipped a beat as he warily quizzed, “That’s… out of nowhere.”

“I was, wasn’t I? Although I can’t remember those times clearly, Julian has no reason to lie to me about them.”

Justin tensed his eyebrows, attempting to figure out what it was that made him so upset with a woman. Even if Rachel, a trick sent over by the Hudsons, wasn’t the person he wanted to marry, what did she do so wrong to deserve his ill treatment?

As he held the documents in hand, Frankie paused at the door and muttered, “Don’t overthink it, President Burton. Things must have happened for a reason.”

“What happened to Rachel’s grandmother later on?”

After hesitating for a while, the assistant answered, “She was kidnapped, and her health failed her afterward.”

“Did they find out who the kidnappers were?”

“Yes…” Frankie had a hard time speaking up, but he forcefully answered, “They were some desperate lackeys who had bad blood with our company. They couldn’t catch anyone, so they targeted her grandmother.

Actually, you went to negotiate right away, but it was already too late by then.”

“And that’s the reason for our divorce?”

Upon seeing how Frankie stayed silent, Justin confirmed his assumption and his eyes darkened. “You may leave.”

“Yes, Sir.”

After changing her clothes in her office, Rachel went to look for Justin.

Since he was the one who decided to switch to a new supplier, it was only natural to let him settle the issue. After all, Burton Pharmaceuticals was his blood and sweat, so who would take care of it if not him?

“Come in.”

The office door was pushed open after a series of knocks, and the sound of Rachel’s heels tapping on the floor echoed in the room. When Justin looked up from his computer, he was stunned when the woman fell into his vision. “Why are you here?”
