The Silent Wife

Chapter 246

“It was around half an hour ago. Chris received a phone call right after the meeting ended and she left after that.”

“Do you know who the caller was?”

“Umm…” Lisa shook her head. How would I know?

Upon seeing Justin’s expression, Frankie quickly consoled, “President Burton, don’t be anxious. The news was just reported, so maybe Miss Hudson saw the news and quickly went home to resolve the matter.”

“You’re saying that she went back to the Hudson Residence?”

“That’s not impossible, is it? Even though Miss Hudson is not close to her father, he is still her father after all. If she knows of such a big incident happening to the Hudson Family, I’m sure she won’t turn a blind eye to it.”

“Where are you going, President Burton?”

“The Hudson Residence.”

While holding a black umbrella, Rachel stood at the gate of the Hudson Residence-a place where she had lived for two decades. At this moment, it was both a familiar and a strange area for her.
