My Mute Bride Chapter 38
Rachel could not refute Arthur’s words.
Everyone in the Burton Family knew that the person whom Justin initially wanted to marry was Amber,
but she, a mute, was sent to the Burton Family on the night of their wedding instead.
Before Rachel could reply, Sue immediately continued speaking, “I know, right? I heard that she
threatened her sister and said that our family is a dangerous tiger den. Apart from that, she also said
that Justin is ugly and weird. Then, she pretended to be doing her younger sister a favor by marrying
into our family.”
Rachel’s expression immediately changed when she heard that.
‘I have never said these words:
“You are still trying to argue!” Sue still wanted to say something but Arthur broke her off.
“Enough. We don’t have to dwell on the facts.” Arthur’s eyes were as cold as Justin when he looked at
Rachel, which in turn made her shudder even though she was not cold.
“Miss Hudson, since it was a misunderstanding, why don’t we resolve it? It brings no one happiness to
force both of you to be together. It’s without a doubt that you are notpatible with Justin.”
Rachel clenched her fists tightly as she looked at Arthur in shock.
He then continued in a low voice, “Not many people know this marriage to begin with, so it’s probably
better to stop right here to prevent more losses. The Burton Family willpensate you. Just forget
about the marriage after that.”
Rachel looked at the people around her. Some of them were looking at her gleefully, while others
merely seemed disinterested.
Even in her dreams she wanted to get away from the Burton Family, but Jefferey would never let her do
that and neither would Justin. She could imagine the consequences if she did that.
With the great pressure ced on her, she shook her head.
Arthur’s expression darkened in response. “You don’t want to do that? Even if you are the youngdy
of the Hudson Family, you are not good enough for our family. On top of that, you are an illegitimate
daughter. No matter what, to our family—”
The words ‘illegitimate daughter’ stabbed at Rachel like sharp daggers.
WON
She clenched her fists so hard that her fingernails dug into her skin,
“Grandpa.” A loud voice rang from the door, breaking the tense atmosphere in the room.
Rachel immediately raised her head and saw Justin walk past the door inrge strides. His tailor made
ck suit fit his body perfectly and his tall height emanated a cold and indifferent air.
“You’re here, Justin,” Arthur said coolly. “Good timing-let’s clear things in your presence.”
“Grandpa.” Justin shot a nce at Rachel. “Rachel is already my official wife. Marriage is not child’s
y and I have never considered a divorce.”
“What nonsense!” Arthur’s expression darkened as his tone became harsher. “The woman whom you
are going to marry is the second youngdy of the Hudson Family, but they were so ‘kind’ to give us a
mu—”
“Grandpa.”
Before Arthur could utter the word ‘mute, Justin interrupted him. “I’ve never said that the person I
wanted to marry was the second youngdy of the Hudson Family.”
With that, silence fell upon the entire room.
Rachel was also stunned to hear that and she looked at him in surprise.
“I want to marry the daughter of the Hudson Family but I never said that she was Amber Hudson.”
Justin’s exnation had once again proven that they had heard him correctly.
With a confused look on his face, Arthur asked, “You’re saying that the woman you wanted to marry
from the beginning was Rachel?”
Justin did not reply to him. However, Sue was unable to stand the former’s silent approval anymore.
“Justin, don’t fool around. How could you possibly want to marry a mu—”
“Aunt Sue, you probably don’t understand me well.”
With that, Justin shot her a stare so cold that she shut her mouth on her own ord.
He did not n to bring Rachel here at all. He could immediately know the person who gave Arthur the
suggestion to bring her here.
And so, the atmosphere seemed to have be frozen at that moment.
Justin was almost as stubborn as Arthur. Upon seeing this situation, the butler quickly tried to calm
them down. “Sir, young master, the chef said that dinner is ready. Why don’t we start the meal first?”.
Arthur frowned before he stood up, holding his crutch for support. “Let’s tuck in,” he said coolly.
Upon hearing that, Rachel heaved a sigh of relief.
When they ate, she sat beside Justin. Even though her clothes were quite in, her demeanor was
graceful and elegant.
When she saw that Justin did not eat much, she took the initiative to peel the shells of the prawns for
him, leaving just beautifully peeled prawn meat in his te.
Of course, Arthur did not miss this.
Rachel has the rare air of an elegant and generous youngdy, and she also has the attributes of being
an obedient wife who can take good care of her family. If she weren’t a mute, it’s actually not a bad
idea for Justin to marry her,
After dinner, Justin was summoned to the study by Arthur while Rachel waited for them in the living
room
After the maid poured tea for them, Sue chatted happily with Tina.
“It’s been so long since west met, Tina. I heard that you are nning to be engaged soon after
coming back?”
“Indeed.” Tina replied with a smile.
“I heard that your partner is the eldest son of Riley Corp., who is young and capable. I have to say
-you really are lucky!”
Tina, however, seemed to avoid the topic of the engagement as she murmured, “Actually, I don’t have
ns to get married so soon.” Through the corner of her eye, she shot a nce at Rachel and
suddenly changed the topic. “Hey, why didn’t you hold a wedding when you marry Justin?”
Rachel was sipping her tea when she heard that. In the end, she lifted her head but she had no idea
what to reply.
Sue then said annoyedly, “Look at her! If we hold a wedding like this, we will be aughing stock. We
can’t possibly risk such embarrassment.”
“You have a point.”
Tina looked at Rachel and said, “I heard from Amber that if I told her about Justin’s character, the
person who would marry him might be her, not you.”
Rachel froze upon hearing that, having no idea what Tina meant by this.
“I saw you peel the prawns for Justin but he doesn’t eat any of it. Is there a point in pleasing him this
way? I hate materialistic women who don’t have dignity.”
Even though Tina’s voice was not loud, her arrogant attitude still insulted Rachel, as though thetter
was lesser than Tina.
As the time dragged on, Rachel found her expression bing more forced.
While they were speaking, Tina’s phone rang. As Rachel was quite close to her, she saw the caller’s
name=’Amber Hudson? Truth was, it was a rather unpleasant sight for her.
“Excuse me for a moment. I need to pick up this call. Aunt Sue, do have a nice chat with her.”
With that, Tina walked out of the room while holding her phone. Before she left, she even shot a nce
at Rachel disdainfully and arrogantly, as though she was not worth looking at.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.
Meanwhile, Sue sipped her tea slowly. This trip back home is worth it. Even if Rachel’s marriage can’t
be cancelled for the time being, the rudeness of everyone in the Burton Family is enough. I just don’t
believe that this little mute is able to take the pressure for a long time.
On the other hand, after Justin was called into the study by Arthur, thetter went straight to the point.
“What the hell do you think about this marriage?”
Justin had a cold look on his face. “I won’t have a divorce with her for the time being.”
“Why? I can tell that you don’t like her. If she’s healthy, then so be it. However, she’s a mute. She is
obviously not good enough for you.”
“Grandpa, I don’t care who I marry, as long as she is the daughter of the Hudson Family.”
Arthur froze upon hearing that. He looked at Justin in shock for a long while before he returned to his
senses. “Justin, don’t tell me that you are still brooding over that past incident.”
A cold look appeared on Justin’s face and his expression became even darker with the mention of the
incident.
Upon seeing that, Arthur frowned. “I’ve already told you that the fire was an ident.”
“No, it wasn’t.” Justin’s gaze was firm and harsh. “The mountain fire was caused by Jefferey just to kill
one person.”
