My Mute Bride Chapter 44
Chapter 44 Does He Really Know Sign Language?
Amber was startled. “What do you mean by a third choice?”
Before the woman could even react, Rachel suddenly lifted her hand to push Amber’s shoulder.
Ssh!
There was a huge ssh in the swimming pool.
“Cough… Ahhh… Help me!”
Rachel silently stood beside the pool as her expression grew colder under the moonlight.
The third choice that she had mentioned was to push Amber with that damn ne together into the
swimming pool.
Themotion at the swimming pool quickly alerted the people in the hall, so the attendants
immediately saved Amber from the pool. One by one, they hurriedly covered her with towels, but even
so, she had made herself a fool in front of everyone.
“Amber.” Jefferey held Amber in distress. “Are you alright?”
Then, she let out a loud cry while pointing at Rachel with a trembling finger. “She pushed me!”
The moment her words came out, it caused an uproar among the surrounding guests.
His face darkened as he red at Rachel. “What happened?”
However, she remained silent and refused to deny or confirm Amber’s usation.
“I can’t believe this, Rachel. Have you already decided to abandon your family just because you are
now Mrs. Burton? How dare you do this to Amber! If anything happens to her, I’ll—”
“What will you do?” A deep voice was suddenly heard from behind Rachel as it interrupted Jefferey’s
lecture.
Before she could even turn around, her body waspletely engulfed by an enormous shadow.
As he looked at Justin, Jefferey could not help but significantly control his temper. “What is it, President
Burton? Are you now going to defend your wife?”
His words immediately reminded everyone else that Rachel was no longer the neglected daughter of
the Hudson Family. Rather, she was now Justin Burton’s wife, so no matter what she did, he still
needed to pay some respect to Justin.
While being as indifferent as usual, Justin uttered, “This is your family’s business. I’m just here to have
a look.”
His words were clear as ever.
Upon listening to him, Rachel couldn’t help but silentlyugh at herself. How could he ever speak up for
me?
If he were willing to help her, Amber wouldn’t have had the confidence to y such tricks with her.
Upon hearing Justin’s words, Jefferey finally let out a huge sigh of relief. After all, since Justin was
here, it wouldn’t be wise for Jefferey to immediately use Rachel, so he coldly questioned, “Rachel, I
want you to tell me what happened earlier. How did Amber fall into the pool all of a sudden?”

Meanwhile, Justin tucked both his hands into his pockets and he stood aside as if he was an outsider
watching the drama.
After withdrawing her gaze, Rachel lost all hope as a hint of grievance was seen on her gorgeous face.
Amber wanted to grab her ne which fell into the pool. I tried to pull her back, but she fell in the
end, she exined through her gestures.
“Nonsense.” Jefferey’s voice deepened. “Why would Amber jump into the pool for a ne?”
You can ask her that for yourself. When she was in the Burton Residence back then, she also jumped
into the fish pond for no reason. Am I right, Amber?
There was a hint of coldness on her face as her usual calm personality had now turned aggressive
when she brought up the ‘fish pond’ incident.
Sure enough, Amber’s expression suddenly changed as she hid inside Jefferey’s arms. If she mentions
the ‘fish pond’ incident at the Burton Residence, it wouldpletely destroy my reputation.
The surrounding guests couldn’t understand signnguage except for Jefferey and Amber, so all of
them were looking at each other, wondering what Rachel had said.
“What fish pond?” Justin’s voice was loud, but those three simple words just so happened to fall into
Rachel’s ears.
She instinctively nced at him in shock. He actually knows signnguage?
As for Amber, her face quickly paled while she exined in panic, “It’s nothing. I didn’t say that it was
her who pushed me into the pool. I… I was just trying to grab my ne. It’s my fault.”
The moment she exined what had happened, the guests immediately discussed it among
themselves.
“Did she really use the other woman by mistake?”
“Doesn’t this count as nder?”
Meanwhile, Jefferey’s expression darkened because he was infuriated after being embarrassed in front
of all the guests. “Amber, what are you talking about? Have you lost your mind?”
Upon listening to the whispers of the other guests, he angrily threw her aside before leaving.
“Dad!”
Amber was now covered in a towel as she looked really embarrassed.
Then, the housekeeper asked everyone to return to the hall while leaving the frantic Amber alone.
Rachel, I’m not done with you yet!
Because of the farcical scene, Jefferey was so embarrassed that he ended the banquet early.
Therefore, Rachel and Justin returned to the Burton Residence in the same vehicle.
“You are quite a good liar.” His deep sarcastic voice echoed within the car.
She was immediately left dumbfounded as she stared at him. He knows that I was lying?
Justin’s narrow eyes slowly focused. “Unfortunately, you were still too impulsive. There are many
surveince cameras at the banquet.”
If Amber hadn’t panicked after Rachel mentioned the fish pond, Amber could have checked the
surveince video straight away and the truth would have been revealed.
Rachel let out a sigh of relief and leaned against her seat after she heard him. There wouldn’t be any
surveince cameras at the pool. She isn’t that stupid.
Since Amber had the courage to throw the ne into the pool for her to retrieve, she would have
definitely made sure that the scene wouldn’t be captured by the surveince camera just like what she
had done at the Burton Residencest time.
Sadly, she didn’t expect Rachel to push her straight into the pool.
However, it was all thanks to Justin’s help.
After a moment of silence, Rachel asked, Do you understand signnguage?
She wanted to know why he acted like he didn’t understand her at all when she came to Burton
Residence when he actually knew signnguage all this while.
While looking at her, Justin slightly furrowed his brows to show his annoyance. “What does that have to
do with you?”
For a moment, Rachel was taken aback, so she changed the question. You knew that I was lying, so
why did you help me?
If she hadn’t mentioned the fish pond all of a sudden, Amber wouldn’t have felt nervous and the scuffle
wouldn’t have ended so quickly.
“Help you? You are thinking too much. I was just helping to preserve the Burton Family’s reputation.
The Young Madam of the Burton Family wouldn’t do such a degrading act,” he coldly answered.
Upon listening to him, she couldn’t help but feel gloomy. Is he ming me for causing him trouble
again?
Ding!
Suddenly, a message was sent to Justin’s phone, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
Rachel quickly withdrew her gaze and silently swallowed the other questions she had in mind.
Instinctively, she turned her head toward the car window.
Meanwhile, he unlocked his phone and read the message sent to him.
‘President Burton, I’ve done what you asked me to do. Just as you had expected, it is a method of
suppressing wronged souls that is rumored among the geomancy believers.’
As he looked at the message, his eyes nced to one side.
At the same time, Rachel leaned against the car window while quietly gazing outside in a daze. The
side of her face looked extremely gentle and soft, but after a closer look, he could see the gloom within
her eyes which she started to have after exiting the study room.
Then, Justin replied to Frankie, ‘Go and investigate how Rachel’s mother had died back then.’
‘Didn’t she die in a car crash?’
‘Apparently not.’
After he typed those two firm words, he kept his phone away as his expression became serious.
If her mother actually died from a car crash, Jefferey wouldn’t have felt so guilty that he has to turn to
such a superstitious method. Suppressing a memorial tablet is just simply absurd.
