The Silent Wife

Chapter 283

Chapter 283

“What are you doing here?” Amber’s expression changed as soon as she saw Rachel, and the former stared at the latter guardedly.

Just then, Rachel came to her senses. “I should be the one asking you this question, right?”

“Rachel, what do you mean by that?!”

“The engagement is already called off, yet the two of you seem to be joined at the hip. Are you guys trying to create further topics for the press and contribute some tabloid news on behalf of both the Burton Group and Hudson Pharmaceuticals?” Rachel spoke in a cold voice and she sounded angry. Her reaction caused Justin to feel slightly joyful as he explained himself, “You’ve misunderstood the situation. Amber and I-”

“Chris!” Hernandez’s voice rang out from behind Rachel and he cut off Justin’s words.

“Oh-this is such a coincidence. You’ve bumped into someone we know,” Hernandez greeted Justin quite naturally and calmly upon seeing him. “It’s been quite a while since we last met, Mr. Burton.”

Meanwhile, Justin frowned. “Why are you here?”

“I’m here for lunch with Chris. Aren’t the two of you here for lunch as well?”

Just then, Hernandez shot a suggestive look at Justin and Amber, and then he spoke up meaningfully. “Mr. Burton, it looks like you’ve got a different target, huh? Should I express my gratitude then?”

Justin’s expression darkened significantly when he heard that.

Meanwhile, Amber was her usual pretentious self and she put on a world-class act as she pretended to

explain the situation, “You guys have misunderstood us. Justin and I have something to discuss, so we met up here.”

“There’s no need to explain things.” As soon as Justin said that, he walked past Rachel and he clearly exuded a cold, domineering demeanor.

Just then, Arber shot a smug look at Rachel before quickly joining him. “Justin, wait up.”

As for Rachel, she was quite composed and she merely mentioned, “Let’s go to another restaurant.”

At that moment, Justin paused in his tracks and he turned around to find that Rachel and Hernandez had gone back to their seats to gather their belongings. Subsequently, they left immediately without any intention of staying on any longer than necessary.

Just then, Amber tried to fuel the flames as she spitefully mentioned, “Justin, what are they discussing anyway? Why are they intentionally avoiding you?”

Instantly, Justin furrowed his brows, and all of a sudden, there was a frosty look on his face.
