The Silent Wife

Chapter 227

Mr. Wayne looked as miserable as sin while he spoke of what had happened six years ago. “You offered your wife to me six years ago, only to go back on it at the last minute. Not only did you steal my business away, you even crippled me! How should I get even with you for that?”

Rachel’s expression changed in disbelief when she heard this. Did Justin cripple Mr. Wayne back then? I never heard him talk about this, though, she thought to herself. “Mr. Wayne!” she called out anxiously as she came to her senses. “So much time has passed since what happened six years ago. No matter what he has done, you look healthy and fine right now. We can negotiate over what compensation you want, so don’t hurt Samuel.”

“Fine?” Mr. Wayne suddenly flew into a rage and grabbed Samuel toward him. Amid Samuel’s cries of pain and Rachel’s screams, he seized Samuel by the throat and asked, “Look! It’s been six years. You two have kids, whereas I’ll die childless. Is this what you mean by saying that I’m healthy?”

Die childless? Rachel was stunned. What has Justin done to Mr. Wayne back then…

“Let’s settle the score today for everything you’ve done to me!”

“Don’t touch him!” Rachel’s screams were almost desperate. “Let go of Samuel, please!”

However, Justin grabbed her and stopped her from going to Samuel’s side. He then said to Mr. Wayne, “Now that things have turned out like this, you can’t make up for anything by hurting a child. What exactly do you want? I can promise you anything as long as you let go of Samuel.”

“I want you to kneel down and kowtow to me now!” Mr. Wayne’s bellow reverberated in the rain.

Rachel’s face turned deathly pale. Before she could come to her senses, the man beside her knelt down toward Mr. Wayne without batting an eyelid, splashing rainwater as his knees hit the wet ground.

Rachel looked at him in disbelief, for no one knew how proud he was better than her.

Obviously, Mr. Wayne hadn’t expected that either. After being stunned for a moment, he burst into laughter. “Serves you right, doesn’t it, Justin? How could you say you don’t care about this little brat now that you’re kneeling before me?”
