The Silent Wife

Chapter 278

Chapter 278

A silent night descended upon Westhill Villa. After Robin was bailed out, Jason kept him at his place to avoid any exchange with the swarming reporters.

“Father, are you really going to agree to work with that mute? Nothing good can come from her.”

“You didn’t need to tell me that. This woman is highly ambitious. If her cause was that beneficial, why would she want to work with me?”

“Then why are you considering it?”

“Jefferey is in prison, probably for the rest of his life, but the business recognizes only this one Hudson Family’s signature. Do you think that fool Amber would be able to take on the job?”

Robin was stunned. If it weren’t for his godfather’s mention, he would have forgotten about the existence of such an individual. Ever since Jefferey was imprisoned, Amber had been “relegated” to a nobody as the upper-class society wouldn’t have her, including Arthur who had no longer the slightest interest in her. It was said that she attempted to look for him in the summer villa, only to be blocked off by the guards outside the gates.

“She’s probably easier to manipulate.”

“But what’s that moron gonna do other than being manipulatable? She doesn’t have the formulas.”

Jason took a puff of his cigar and slowly blew out smoke circles before profoundly saying, “Robin, you should know the rules of seeking wealth by now. If Old Mr. Burton won’t entertain us, we should pave a future for ourselves.”

Robin had no objection to his words, but he couldn’t help but feel unjust when he remembered how Rachel set him up. “So you’re gonna partner up with her?”

“It’s not that simple. After all, she roughed us up badly. It’s only right we return the favor, isn’t it?”
