My Mute Bride Chapter 212
“I’m usually in Riverdale. If you have the time, we can catch up with each other. Do you like to y
golf?”
“I’m not good at it.”
“Don’t worry, I can teach you the game. Why don’t we exchange our Whatsapp?”
As Rachel had already expected him to ask for her digits, she resignedly took out her phone.
She made an excuse to leave once they had exchanged their Whatsapp. “I’m sorry, but I need to use
the washroom.”
As she carried the train of her dress and walked out of the hall, she finally escaped the ‘blind date’.
However, she didn’t notice the pair of eyes watching her all along from the corner of the hall.
After Rachel breathed a sigh of relief, she looked around the ce and envisioned it based on her
memory.
The banquet was held in a four-story vi at the center of Summer Vi where Arthur usually lived.
Rachel also resided here for a period of time 6 years ago, so she was familiar with the paths in the
building. Since Janice mentioned that the evidence is situated inside the vi, then it is most likely in
this building.
Even though she couldn’t point out exactly where the evidence was, the most secretive ce in the
building was his study room, so it was logical to start from there.
After she passed through the corridor and arrived at the side hall, the noises from the banquet
gradually faded from her ears.
Across the door, Rachel could hear voicesing from the study room.
“Great uncle, we still need you at the hall.”
“I thought Justin was already there to help out?”
“This is still your banquet. So, everyone is waiting to meet you.”
“Alright, I’ll go and take a look.”
Rachel leaned against the wall to hide and waited for Arthur to emerge before she headed to the study
room. However, the room was locked. s she held the doorknob for a while, she furrowed her brows. He
really is a calctive old man. This study room contains lots of important information about the Burton
Family, so he definitely won’t allow anyone to enter with such ease. While Rachel thought about it, a
series of footsteps were heard behind her.
“What are you doing here?” The man’s voice was so cold and powerful that it gave her a shock. When
she turned around and saw Justin, it was already toote for her to walk away. “I… was just looking
around.” “So, you just happened toe here? You really don’t see yourself as a guest at all.”
He took a step toward her. “However, I’m impressed that you are able to be the goddaughter of the
Carter Family in such a short period of time. How does it feel to abuse your power now that you have
their backing?” “You’re thinking too much into it. Jolly is my best friend and her parents treat me well.
It’s that simple. As for you, don’t you think that you are the one abusing your power by protecting your
fiancee like that?”
“You didn’t receive any invitation, which means that you are able toe here because of the Carter
Family.” Justin took another step closer toward Rachel. “Rachel, why are you really here?” “I came to
attend the banquet.” Her eyes were strangely calm as she stretched a finger to stop Justin’s chest from
approaching her.
“Do you really think I came here for you? Didn’t you see how many people were rushing to introduce a
new boyfriend to me?” His eyes immediately darkened. “Don’t you have any shame?” “I can see that
you rather enjoyed it.” She tapped his shirt with a seemingly weak and numbing force. When she lifted
her head, the hair that brushed her chin felt extremely amorous. “Are you jealous?” Upon listening to
her, Justin grabbed her hand. “You are thinking too much. I hate women like you the most! There
seems to be no boundaries when ites to changing the men beside you.”
“Then, why are you following me?” Rachel lifted her head and met his gaze. “Don’t you want to see
what I’m doing?” Justin’s face darkened once again as it seemed to be filled with a sense of gloom.
What he hated the most was how confident this woman looked when she knew every thought that
surfaced in his mind. How dare she!
“I was afraid that you were looking for Charlotte. I’m warning you, you are not allowed to see her from
now on.”
“She is my daughter. Why can’t I see her?”
“Don’t you already have a son that was given to you? Since you would rather take care of someone
else’s son instead of your biological daughter, it doesn’t matter whether you see her or not.”
Rachel’s eyes darkened. “What are you talking about?”
“You can stop pretending. Is this why the Carter Family epted you as their goddaughter? After all,
you helped their only daughter to avoid the embarrassment of a premarital pregnancy. I’m surprised
that no one knows that the godmother is actually the biological mother—”
Before Justin could finish his words, Rachel immediately covered his mouth.
“Mm…”
With great strength, she hurriedly pushed him against the wall as her hand around his mouth almost
suffocated him.
“How did you know about this?”
Rachel furrowed her brows while she nervously looked around.
Then, Justin angrily pushed her hand aside. “Are you crazy? What do you think you are doing?”She
pointed at him. “I’m warning you. I don’t care how you are aware of Samuel’s true identity, but you are
not allowed to speak a word of it to anyone else!”
“Are you threatening me?” “I don’t care what you think, but please don’t involve others in our
grievances. Samuel and Jolly are innocent bystanders.” after Justin tidied his suit, he answered
resentfully, “Then, does Charlotte deserve this?” “I’ll try my best to make it up to her.” “How? How are
you nning to make up for five lost years in just a few days?”
Rachel remained silent with furrowed brows. The grudge between her and Justin was one thing, but
her guilt for her daughter was another matter. s he appraised Rachel, he realized how beautiful and
slender her fair swan-like neck was in contrast to her dark green off-shoulder dress. When he
remembered the lustful eyes of those men at the banquet earlier, he was suddenly filled with ‘ealousy.
While he clenched his fists on both sides, he added, “I can give you a chance. From today onward, I
want you to move over to apany Charlotte.” Rachel immediately looked confused. “I thought you
wouldn’t allow me to be near her.” “I’ve changed my mind. Since she likes you and you are also her
biological mother, there isn’t anyone more qualified than you to be her nanny. Therefore, you are
responsible and obligated to take care of her.”
The moment the word ‘nanny’nded on her eyes, she furrowed her brows for the umpteenth time. “I’m
willing to apany her even if you didn’t make this request. I can visit her every weekend or
whenever I’m free, but I just can’t move over there.”

“No, you are not in a position to argue with me.” “Justin, don’t forget that you have a fiancee whom you
are engaged with! Aren’t you afraid of people gossiping because I’m living in the same house as you?”
“Who said that you’ll be living in the same house as me?” While Rachel was startled, Justin suddenly
took a step forward and pressed his upper body toward her. As her entire body was engulfed by his
massive shadow, she could only hear a cold voiceing from above her. “It seems like you are
looking forward to living in the same house as me.”
Her mind was at a loss, but he released her the next second as he coldly uttered, “If you don’t want the
entire Riverdale to know that the daughter of the Carter Family has asked you to look after her son, I
suggest that you do as you are told!”
“You…
