The Silent Wife

Chapter 293

Chapter 293

Rachel had a terrible headache when she woke up the next morning. After her morning routine, she went downstairs and saw Justin having breakfast in the dining room.

“Are Charlotte and Samuel awake yet?”

Justin hummed in response as he pushed the phone on the table toward her. “You left your phone in the living room last night.”

“Thanks. I was looking for it.”

As she was checking her notifications, she pulled the chair back to take a seat. She seemed to have seen something that caused her brows to frown. After sipping her coffee, she rose to her feet and added, “I have something to attend to. I shall head off first.”

“Where are you going?” he questioned, his cold voice echoing in the spacious room.

“To the office.”

“You aren’t going to see Jason, are you?”

Rachel turned to face him. “Did you check my phone?”

“I saw it by accident. Why are you in touch with Jason? What are you going to do?”

“This only involves me and Hudson Pharmaceuticals. I don’t think that I need to report to you about this?”

“Rachel!” Justin rose to his full height with a stern look. “I believe that you know what Jason is up to without me having to remind you. Are you going to lead Hudson Pharmaceuticals into taking the crooked path once again?”

“The crooked path?” She furrowed her brows. “As far as I’m concerned, Jason’s men have been the one to ensure that many matters of the Burton Group smoothly proceed. Since the Burton Group can use them, why can’t I?”

“It’s not the same.”

“How so? You walk in integrity if you use it, but I’m taking the crooked path if I do the same?” Rachel’s rebuttal had rendered him speechless.

Not wanting to make things tense between them, she half-heartedly explained, “Don’t worry, Hudson Pharmaceuticals is currently in a difficult position, so we need to use some unconventional method to ease the situation. I won’t go beyond the principles.”
