My Mute Bride Chapter 94


    Justin felt his heart skipping a beat before he darkened his gaze. Both of them weren’t far apart from


    each other-the couch and the coffee table were the only pieces of furniture between them. A standin


    lamp was ced right next to the couch, and the dim light shone upon Rachel’s face as she moved. It


    was the first time Justin had ever seen Rachel that way-her bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred and


    resentment. It didn’t seem like her anger was directed toward him-it looked more like she was angry at


    the Hudsons.


    He was dazed for a moment, but he quickly calmed himself down before he sneered. “Are you


    daydreaming or something?”


    There’s something wrong with the Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ medication. They’ve provided a number of


    fake drugs to a few suppliers.


    Justin froze. Even Amber didn’t know anything about this, so how could an illegitimate daughter like


    Rachel hear about such news?


    As long as you can help me to get a job at Hudson Pharmaceuticals, I will be able to get proof of them


    manufacturing fake medication. Rachel’s thoughts were clearer once she managed to calm down. She


    realized that both she and Justin could exchange information and benefit from one another when they


    couldn’t achieve certain things independently. Jefferey was an enemy to both of them, and she figurec


    that she could temporarily be friends with her enemy’s enemy.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Justin was quiet for a long while before he abruptly leaned his weight against the coffee table to get


    onto his feet. Rachel’s face turned pale as she grabbed onto a vase beside her.


    “What are you doing?” he said as he shot her a re. “Didn’t we just agree to partner up? Are you


    going to work with a dead body if I die from losing too much blood? Go find me a first-aid kit.”


    She was stunned for a long while, but she finally heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that Justin


    looked a lot calmer than before. A few minutester, she came back with a first-aid kit to help Justin


    clean his wound. He let out a hiss, and she felt her hands shaking as she tried to clean the blood. She


    was a lot gentler the next time she touched him.


    “Why are you suddenly going against the Hudsons?” he asked.


    I’ve thought about it. He’s bad to me, and he has never treated me like his biological daughter. / want to


    make sure I have a n B for myself. Rachel didn’t mention anything about her mother as she recalled


    how Janice had told her to keep It a secret.


    “Did you find out about something?” Justin asked out of nowhere.


    Rachel was rather surprised at first. Is there something I should know about?


    He frowned. He felt troubled whenever he thought about the information that Frankie had gathered for


    him. “It’s nothing,” he mumbled.


    Rachel stepped aside to tidy the first-aid kit after she was done cleaning Justin’s wound. He no longer


    seemed as threatening and powerful with a bandage wrapped around his head, and he even looked


    rather amusing because of the ribbon knotted on the back of his head. “You haven’t exined the


    whole thing with yourwyer to me yet.”


    Rachel’s actions of tidying the first-aid kit came to a halt before she turned around. Her eyes were calm


    but firm as she stared at him. You’re not allowed toy hands on him.


    His eyes turned cold, and he felt his chest tightening when he looked into Rachel’s steady gaze. “Are


    you giving me a warning right now?”


    Since you’ve made a deal with me, I deserve to benefit from this deal as well.


    “Benefits? So, the benefit you want is for me to not mess with this man?”


    I’ll help you acquire Hudson Pharmaceuticals, but you cannot touch the people around me. I don’t want


    you to act all suspicious all the time. This is a pretty good deal for you, don’t you think? Rachel was a


    little nervous-she had no idea how Justin would respond to her words.


    He stared at her silently as his gaze grew dimmer. “Fine, I promise.”


    In the past, Rachel had always been someone whopromised and gave In to him, so It was a shock


    for him to hear her making such a request. He wondered if Rachel was genuinely looking for a n B


    or if she just created such lies to protect that guy. Regardless, he was pretty eager to see what sort of


    impact an Wlegitimate daughter might be able to generate in thepany.


    A conversation was happeningte at night in the Burton Residence. “Are both of them not home? Did


    you call and ask Frankie?” Sue asked.


    “Yeah. Frankie said that Young Master Justin wouldn’t being home because he has other matters


    to handle,” the maid replied.


    “What about the mute?”


    “Frankie didn’t say anything about that. But considering how distant they seem recently, my guess is


    that they aren’t together now.”


    Sue was visibly pleased as she sipped on her tea. “Things will be over once he’s past that initial stage


    of excitement. Justin has met so many other girls, anyway; what’s the blg deal about this mutedy?


    She’s not even obedient. He’ll get bored of her after a while.”


    *But I heard that Young Master Justin brought another woman back from his business trip, Madam


    Parham,” Mrs. Duncan uttered.


    Sue’s expression grew alert upon hearing the other person’s words. “A woman?”


    “He even arranged for her to stay in a condominium. I heard she’s a university student who got into one


    of the universities in Riverdale.”


    “Who is she? Did you run a thorough investigation on her background?” Sue asked.


    Mrs. Duncan shook her head. She had gotten the news from Justin’s driver. The driver was puzzled to


    see a woman beside Justin when he picked Justin up from the airport.


    Sue knitted her brows. “Get someone to Investigate her background. I don’t want her to take advantage


    of Justin.”


    “Alright.”


    Three dayster, Rachel was called to help out with the logistics at the City Council Library. There was


    a groundbreaking ceremony for the renovation, and Rachel bumped into Tina while they were in the


    washroom. “It’s been a while, Rachel.” Tina shot Rachel a side nce while she fixed her makeup in


    front of the mirror. “You look like you’re doing fine. I thought you’d have to rest for at least a year after


    that car ident.”


    Rachel clenched her fists. She couldn’t stop herself from shuddering at the mention of the car crash it


    was something that troubled her even after so long. You were the one who caused that ident!


    “So what if I was the one who did it? Does my brother look like he’s about to hold me responsible for


    it?” Tina gave Rachel a cocky stare. “The whole Burton Family knows that I was the one who did it, but


    what are you going to do about that? I’ve told you this before-no one cares about you, even if you’re


    part of the Burton Family. You’ll have to pay for Henry’s death eventually.”


    Her chilly voice echoed in the washroom, and Rachel felt a chill running down her spine. Tina was a


    complete psychopath.


    “By the way, there’s something else that I wanted to remind you about.” Tina raised an eyebrow. The


    slight smirk on her lips made her look especially sinister. “I’m afraid you won’t own the title of ‘Mrs.


    Burton’ for much longer. Who would’ve expected another woman to appear in the picture out of


    nowhere, right?”


    Rachel had no idea what Tina was talking about, but Tina simply let out a cold scoff before she took her


    handbag and walked off. The groundbreaking ceremony was hosted on an empty piece ofnd. Justin


    showed up at the ceremony as he was one of the investors. Rachel, on the other hand, stood with a


    team of girls that were on duty for the ceremony. She held a tray that had a pair of scissors on it


    -the scissors would be used to cut the ribbonter.


    Although Rachel was a distance away from Justin, she could see him with an unfamiliar woman. The


    woman seemed to have reced Frankie’s role as his secretary. “I’ve never cut a ribbon for a


    ceremony. Isn’t this fun?” The woman’s high-pitched voice didn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the


    crowd.


    However, a rare loving expression surfaced on Justin’s face when he turned to the woman. “Would you


    like to try it?”


    “Can I do that?” she asked.


    “Of course. It’s just cutting a ribbon,” he replied.


    Rachel heard him speaking while she brought the tray over to them, and she looked up to meet Justin’s


    eyes. His gaze seemed unfamiliar to her.


    Without even a slight change in expression, Justin reached for the scissors on the tray before he


    handed it to the girl beside him.


    “Thank you.” The girl gave Rachel a warm smile. “You’re really pretty, Miss,” shemented on


    Rachel.


    Rachel froze.


    Tina, who had already gotten her own pair of scissors, made a sharpment when she heard their


    conversation. “Gloria, I’m afraid she doesn’t want you to call her ‘Miss.” She sniggered.


    The young girl didn’t understand the meaning behind Tina’sment.
