My Mute Bride Chapter 93
Chapter 93 Acquiring Hudson Pharmaceuticals
“After your mother passed away, you lost your voice during the huge fire. For the sake of your safety, I
told Jefferey that you were the only one who knew about the medicinal recipes. That was why he
agreed to bring you back into the Hudson Family. That was also how the public recognized you as an
illegitimate daughter of the Hudsons,” Nancy said.
But I don’t remember any of the medicinal recipes.
“Your memories are engraved within you, Rachel. I’m sure you remember everything that your mother
had ever told you—you simply lost your memories temporarily. You’ll recall all of it someday.” Nancy
pulled out a picture of Selena—the same ck and white picture that was on the tombstone.
Rachel felt her heart aching when she saw the picture, and tears trickled down her cheeks without any
warning. Nancy teared up as she pulled the young girl in for a hug. “My darling, if Selena is watching
from above, she’d be pleased to see what a beautiful and kind woman you’ve turned into.”
Rachel cried for a long while after that. Whatever she had just heard was simply too much to process.
No matter how harsh Jefferey had been toward her in the past, she had always treated him as her
father. She had always believed that a parent would care for their child regardless of how harsh they
might be. However, it turned out that he wasn’t her father at all—that exined why he was so
heartless toward her. She brushed her tears off as she recalled what Janice had told her. Grandma, do
you remember what the person who killed my mother looks like?
Nancy clenched her fists. “I’d recognize that person even if he turned into ashes. He was a vicious
killer; he set the whole mountain on fire to destroy all evidence. He nearly killed all of the vigers
there.” Rachel hastily unlocked her phone to look for an image of a wanted man before showing it to
Nancy.
“He’s the one. I recall how he had arge mole on his face.” Nancy’s voice was trembling, and her face
was pale as she recalled the terrifying memories of her past. Rachel tightened her grip on her phone as
she tried to calm herself down. She wanted to avenge her mother’s death, and she wanted these
people to pay for what they had done.
The skies were turning dark, and Hans stepped out of the car when he saw Racheling out of the
building. “Are you okay?”
Rachel shook her head. Grandma told me the whole story. I’ll tell you about it when we get into the car.
“Okay.” Hans pulled the car door open. “Let’s talk in the car.” They were talking when a shrill siren
interrupted their conversation. Rachel looked up to see a ck MPV on the street opposite them. Her
face turned pale immediately.
“What is it?” Hans could sense that something was wrong with Rachel.
She didn’t have the chance to respond to him as her phone kept ringing in her pocket. Her hands were
trembling when she pulled her phone out to look at the caller ID. “I’ll give you one minute to walk over
and get into the car.” The man’s voice on the other end of the phone was deep and stern.
“Rachel,” Hans said when he noticed the car opposite them. He held onto her arm. “Is that him?”
She gritted her teeth as she pushed Hans aside. You should leave now. I’ll text youter. Rachel
hurried toward the opposite side of the street after that. Justin was a man who didn’t take no for an
answer—Hans might be in danger if she made Justin wait for a while more.
The man in the ck MPV wore an icy, forbidding expression on his face. His still, dark eyes were so
terrifying that anyone who looked into it would feel their hearts pounding with fear. Justin stared out the
car window to look at the man in front of the white car parked opposite the street.
Rachel got in from the other side of the car. “Let’s go,” Justin ordered coldly. The MPV left the alleyway
right after that. Justin didn’t utter a single word on the way back, and the silence only made Rachel
more fearful. She felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her throat. The driver didn’t head in the
direction of the Burton Residence. Rachel felt herself getting more terrified as the roads outside looked
increasingly unfamiliar to her.
They arrived at a vi on the outskirts of town. Justin removed his coat and threw it on the couch the
moment he stepped into the house. Rachel, on the other hand, hesitated when she arrived at the
doorstep. She nced around to see that the interior of the house was modern and brand-new. In fact,
the insides still had the smell of a newly-renovated house. There wasn’t a single soul in therge
building.
Justin loosened his tie before he abruptly turned to face Rachel. “Ah!” She screamed as she felt as if
her scalp was about to be torn apart. Justin had grabbed onto a handful of her hair before he shoved
her against the wall. “You disappeared for two whole days because you went to meet that guy, right?”
She was close to fainting because of the pain. Her face was filled with terror as she looked up at him.
“Hans Egerton, a Master of Laws graduate from California State University and a rtively well-known
youngwyer… Why are you meeting awyer behind my back? What are you trying to do? Are you
going to get a divorce?”
She shook her head frantically as she tried to push him away.
“What sort of reason are you nning to give, then? Domestic abuse? Or something else? Huh?”
Justin tugged onto her hair and flung her aside.
With a loud cry, she stumbled and fell onto the couch. When she next looked up, Justin had already
stepped closer to her. “Tell me, what are you trying to do?”
Rachel edged away from him fearfully. Both her legs were shaking uncontrobly. No. I’ve never
thought of getting a divorce.
“Why are you meeting awyer, then?”
I… I just wanted to ask him about some other things.
“What other things?”
She gritted her teeth as she hastily came up with a random excuse. It has to do with my inheritance in
the Hudson Family.
“Oh? Is that all?”
That’s all.
“Really? Are you sure you’re not hiding anything from me?” Justin’s gaze was stony and grave—even
thest hint of humanity had disappeared. “Doesn’t he have any other rtionship with you apart from
meeting you as awyer?”
Rachel jolted with surprise.
“I heard that a woman’s first love is the hardest one to let go of, isn’t that right?” The man’s eyes were
filled with jealousy. Rachel felt as if she was falling into an endless pit. Her face turned pale as she
realized something—Justin knew about this all along!
The very next moment, she let out another cry as Justin tugged her up from the couch by grabbing onto
her hair. When she fell back onto the couch, he pressed his fingers against both sides of her cheeks as
he hissed at her. “You used Julian as a shield so that I wouldn’t find out about this first love of yours.
You sure put in a lot of work just to achieve this!”
She couldn’t provide him with any other response apart from wailing in agony. The searing pain in her
scalp made her feel as if she was about to pass out, but Justin didn’t show a hint of pity toward her as
he tore the cor of her shirt open.
“Which part of you has heid his hands on? Here? Or here?” Rachel’s figure trembled with fear that
seemed to fill all of the bones in her body. Her face was the color of paper as she red at Justin with
her bloodshot eyes. She couldn’t make a sound at all.
All of a sudden, she felt a surge of energying from within her, and she used it to shove the man off
of her. Bang! He fell back against the coffee table, and he let out a painful groan as he tried to sit
himself upright. His hand was covered in blood when he reached and felt the back of his head.

For some reason, Justin seemed to calm down as he sat on the ground and stared at his bloody hand.
“That’s impressive. What is this? Are you trying to protect your own body for the sake of that man?”
Don’t you daree any closer to me. Rachel was shaking, and her hands were trembling as she
signed the words that she wanted to say to him. You only got married to me because you want to
control the Hudson Family, and I can help you with that.
“What help can you provide?” Justin scoffed. “Did you forget that you’re just an illegitimate daughter?
The only purpose you serve is to keep me entertained in bed—you aren’t of any other value to me.”
I can help you to acquire Hudson Pharmaceuticals.
