My Mute Bride Chapter 211


    Since the senior president of the Carter Enterprise, Richard, rarely showed up in public, it was Marilyn


    who often socialized with the elites of Riverdale. This was the reason why Sue and Amber only knew


    her and not her husband.


    “What do you mean that she is your goddaughter?” Sue was in disbelief. “How did Rachel be your


    goddaughter?”


    “What’s so surprising about it? She and my daughter have been best friends for many years. Why


    would I need the Burton Family’s permission to acknowledge her as my goddaughter?”


    Goddaughter? Sue quickly exined, “That’s not what I meant.”


    “I’m not interested in what you’re trying to say.” Marilyn wasn’t in the mood to exin to Sue. Instead,


    Marilyn turned toward Rachel and held her hand. “I’m sorry for what you had to experience. Don’t


    worry. With me here, I don’t believe that these two outsiders are qualified to stop us from joining the


    Burton Family’s banquet.”


    Rachel softly replied, “I’m fine, Mrs. Carter.”


    “What do you mean that you’re fine? This isn’t the first time that Amber has insulted you with her


    vicious tongue. Aren’t you disgusted that she is spreading nonsense about you and my dad?” Jolly


    growled.


    Immediately, Marilyn and Richard’s expressions darkened as they showed their displeasure.


    However, Sue quickly read the situation and smiled apologetically. “Mr. and Mrs. Carter, this is all just a


    misunderstanding. Amber is still young, so she always speaks without thinking about it.”


    “Does that give her an excuse to nder other people? If this spreads to the public, it will affect our


    families’ business. Can she afford to make such a mistake? Or, will you be responsible for it?”


    Amber’s face paled as she didn’t know what else to say.


    “We want an apology!” Jolly stared at her. “You must apologize to Rachel.””An apology?” Amber gritted


    her teeth. She wants me to apologize to Rachel? Never! Then, Justin emerged from the hall when he


    heard themotion outside. As his imposing figure stood tall among the crowd, he furrowed his


    brows and walked straight out. Since they had not seen each other for a week, Rachel’s gaze was calm


    when she saw him. Let’s see what he is going to do about this.


    “Justin.” As soon as Amber saw him, she immediately wore a weak facade and hid behind him with an


    aggrieved face. “They are bullying me.”


    While he furrowed his brows, he exchanged nces with Rachel for a second, but she looked so calm


    that it felt like nothing had transpired between them. “What happened?” “Why don’t you ask your Aunt


    Sue?” Rachel gently asked as her gazended on Sue. “President Burton, your fiancee was speaking


    without using her brain earlier.


    I believe your Aunt Sue clearly heard it all.” It would have been easy for Sue to direct the me at


    Rachel if it was just her alone, but now that Rachel had the entire Carter Family backing her, Sue


    quickly exined with a tense expression, “Justin, this is Amber’s fault. She has crossed the line with


    her words and offended Mr. and Mrs. Carter. Luckily, they’re generous enough to forgive her. Tell her to


    quickly


    apologize.


    Meanwhile, Amber red at Sue in disbelief while she clenched both her fists. After five years, she was


    already used to Sue always prioritizing her own interest above everything else. “What is it, President


    Burton? Are you nning to protect your woman?” Jolly sneered.


    Before he could speak, Amber grabbed his arm and she stood up while gritting her teeth. “I’ll apologize,


    so please stop troubling Justin since this is my fault. I’m sorry.” However, just as Jolly was about to say


    something, she was halted by Rachel, who then responded, “Since she has apologized, we should just


    forget about it.

    I hope that you can be careful with your words in the future. Otherwise, you’ll only embarrass both the


    Burton and Hudson Families again.” Rachel’s words were so harsh that they had embarrassed Amber


    in front of the surrounding crowd, but Amber knew that she needed to endure it, so she could only grit


    her teeth.


    “Let’s not stand here at the entrance.” Sue quickly urged the crowd, “You can all enter. The party is


    about to start.”


    After ring at Amber, Jolly was reluctantly dragged inside the hall by Rachel. On the way inside, Jolly


    murmured, “How could you let her off the hook with such ease? This is such a rare chance for us to


    properly teach her a lesson.”


    “We can’t be too harsh on her; otherwise, it’ll affect your parents’ reputation. That’s enough to teach her


    a lesson,” Rachel replied.


    “My parents are here to back you up. Otherwise, they wouldn’t attend a party like this. Am I right,


    Mom?”


    The moment Jolly’s words came out, Marilyn rolled her eyes. “Yes, we are here to give Chris some


    backing, but you should be more mature with your actions. Why did you start a fight with her?”


    “Mom, you should know that people like Amber don’t deserve any politeness from us.”


    “Mrs. Carter, please don’t me Jolly. She is only doing this for me.”


    Then, Marilyn held Rachel’s hand and said lovingly, “How can I me you? I can see that you have


    suffered a lot during your days in the Burton Family. They really didn’t appreciate you at all. Don’t worry,


    though. From now on, we will always be here for you.”


    Upon listening to Marilyn’s words, Rachel was moved. She didn’t have any rtives, but it was after


    moving abroad that she met Jolly and her parents afterward. For the past few years, Jolly’s parents had


    treated Rachel like she was their own daughter. Although they rarely met, they would often video call


    Rachel to ask about her well-being.On the other side, Amber followed Justin from behind. “Justin, I


    promise you that I didn’t do it on purpose.


    I thought that she found herself another man, so I became angry. I didn’t expect that person to be Mr.


    Carter.” “You don’t need to exin it to me. Since it doesn’t affect our coboration with their family, it’s


    fine. Just be careful from now on.” “Justin—” “I have something else to attend to.


    You can do whatever you want.” A fter that, Justin disappeared among the crowd, leaving Amber with a


    gloomy face. Even though he had mentioned that he didn’t care about the matter earlier, his indifferent


    attitude clearly illustrated that he was dissatisfied with her.


    Seeing the scene where the Carter Family and Rachel were surrounded as if they were celebrities,


    Amber clenched her ists and sank her nails into her palms, bringing about waves of pain. Does she


    actually think someone like her can turn around her life in such a short period of time? In her dreams!


    “Mr. and Mrs. Carter, both of your daughters are really beautiful. I wonder who is lucky enough to marry


    them in the future.” “Mr. Howard, are you trying to set up a blind date for them?” “That’s great. If you


    know anyone suitable, you should introduce them to my two daughters.”


    “I will. I definitely will.” Wherever the elders were present, no matter the asion, it would always turn


    into arge-scale blind date. While they were at a loss, Rachel and Jolly were inexplicably stuck with


    two young men, who imed that they only wanted to make riends.


    “In the past, I heard that Mr. Carter only has one daughter, so I didn’t expect him to bring another


    beautiful daughter along


    today. “You’re too kind.” Rachel grinned awkwardly while her mind quickly thought of a way to leave.
