The Silent Wife

Chapter 277

Jason glowered. “What do you mean by that? Is that how you speak to your elders?”

“It clearly depends on how you handle things!” There was nothing but resentment on Justin’s face. “Give her another trouble and I’ll end you!” With that, he dragged the woman away. “Let’s go, Rachel.”

Rachel turned back and gave Jason a glance, having no intention to defend him. Before their partnership was established, he was nothing more than an enemy, so she had no obligation to defend him and relieve the tension between him and his nephew. By standing on Justin’s side, she could easily show him the reason to give her proposal a thought.

After leaving the golf club, Justin took a careful look at Rachel. “He didn’t do anything to you, did he? Are you hurt?”

“No. I’m fine, really. I barely said a word when you arrived.”

“Did he ask to meet you?”

“Yeah.” Rachel nodded. “I came here from the hospital right after I got his call.”

“Aren’t you a little too ballsy? You blatantly agreed on meeting him without knowing what he might have done to you. He’s not even afraid to kill someone to shut them up, yet you still came to see him? Do you have a death wish?” There were definitely traces of anger in his scowl. To be fair, he had to hit the guess all the way here from Burton Group just to make sure she was fine.

Rachel replied, “Look, I’m really fine! Plus, I knew you’d come.”

When Justin heard her reply, his face twitched and it quickly soothed. After managing to calm down after a while, he grabbed Rachel’s hand. “Even so, you still shouldn’t pull such a risky stunt. Don’t ever interact with him again. He’s clearly unrighteous.”

If it weren’t for the giant scar he left on her five years ago that developed into a lifelong trauma, she wouldn’t have to constantly remind herself of the man’s true colors. If a woman didn’t know better, she would have given in to his tenderness. However, she would never fall for him. The more patient and adoring Justin was, the clearer her mind would get.
