My Mute Bride Chapter 236
Chapter 236 She Would Never Give In
After silence had descended inside the car for a short while, Rachel gradually opened her eyes. From
the corner of her eye, she saw that the man by her side was currently resting with his eyes shut.
Hence, she turned her face to the side and nced at the night scene outside the window. At that
moment, there were shes of red illuminated in her eyes.
Earlier on, when Justin had said all those words, she nearly fell for it and she nearly trusted that there
wasn’t any hint of ugliness in their past. For a split second, she had thought that they would be able to
start afresh in everything.
However, that was essentially impossible. One without their memories could proceed with life without
any burden, but she was different. There was no way that she could trust the words of someone who
had lost his memories, so she would not give in. She would finish off the things that had to be done as
soon as possible and then leave Riverdale; thereafter, she would no longer step foot back here.
On the other end at the Burton Residence, Arthur remained in a fixed position in front of his desk for
quite some time even after Justin and Rachel had left.
“Sir, have a sip of your tea. Why are you so concerned? I can see that Miss Hudson has a kind heart
and I don’t think there’s going to be a problem if she gets together with Young Master.”
“You don’t get it. If it was Rachel from six years ago, then I would definitely choose to turn a blind eye.
However, so many incidents happened back then and Justin nearly lost his life because of this woman.
Hence, they must not enter into a rtionship again.”
Arthur’s brows furrowed tightly as he continued, “I’m indeed quite surprised at how Rachel has turned
out to be after all this while being away. After all, she was a mute and the least favored illegitimate
daughter of the Hudson Family, but she managed to ascend to her current position in just five years.
Furthermore, she also became the goddaughter of the Carter Family, so it’s quite obvious that she
possesses a tenacity that’s unlike any ordinary person.”
“Doesn’t this indicate that she’s very outstanding?”
”Justin doesn’t need an outstanding partner by his side. He just needs someone who’ll do as she’s told
and not create any trouble for him. You’ve seen his state when that incident happened back then,
which is why Rachel must not be allowed toe back. Justin must not recall the past.”
”So what do you n to do?”
”Get me that item.”
The butler was slightly stunned but he did as he was told and went to unlock the safe. Taking out a
brown paper bag from it, he passed it to Arthur and murmured, “It’s been five years since the incident.
Are you sure that you still want to bring this up?”
“Since Justin insists on calling off his engagement with Amber and there’s no stopping him, then we
can make use of this to sever all ties with the Hudson Family. There’s really no point in keeping all of
these items under lock and key.”
“I’llpile everything and send it to Miss Hudson.”
“Alright. Don’t forget that some items in here shouldn’t be retained. Make sure you sort things out
properly.”
“Don’t worry, sir. I understand.”
…
One weekter, Justin was discharged from the hospital.
“Rae’s not here yet, is she?”
Just then, Frankie had just packed up Justin’s belongings and handed them to the secretary to bring to
the car. Then, he exined, “Miss Hudson has an important meeting today and she just called to say
that she won’t be able to make it. I’ll be sending you home.”
“What meeting is so important?”
“Don’t you remember? It’s the meeting with the medication wholesalers to negotiate the pricing. Miss
Hudson has shed the price by two percent lower than the original base price. This is a great
preliminary preparation for the start of our nned price war. Miss Hudson’s amazing!”
“But of course! Who was the one who hired her?” Justin crowed, feeling very smug. Over the past few
days, he increasingly felt that Rachel had a lot of attractive points that captured one’s attention.
Her work performance was undoubtedly great; furthermore, she was humble and gentle in person, and
she also managed her subordinates with firmness. That being said, she was not a nasty boss. In the
future, she was definitely going to be a great help for him, whether at home or at work.
At that moment, Frankie noted Justin’s ted expression. “Mr. Burton, I’ll send you home right now.”
“No, let’s go to thepany.”
Upon hearing that, Frankie was significantly speechless.
It was noon and the meeting had just ended. Rachel sent the wholesalers off with a handshake. “Lisa,
send Mr. Riley downstairs.”
“Sure.”
“Miss Hudson, someone is waiting to see you outside.”
“Who is it?” Rachel collected her documents and asked, “Did the person make an appointment?”
“He ims to be your father. You should hurry up and go out to take a look for yourself.” As soon as
Rachel heard that, her expression darkened slightly.
Three days ago, Justin had called off his engagement with Amber. Apparently, he had merely
instructed his personal assistant to call and inform them. As such, it was no wonder that Jefferey was
hopping mad by Justin’sckadaisical approach.
At that moment in the Burton Pharmaceuticals’ office, Jefferey barged into the office as he shoved the
security guards aside. “Where’s Rachel? I want to see your director Rachel Hudson!”
“Get her toe out right now!”
“Miss Hudson is in a meeting. You can’t enter without permission!”
“Why can’t I enter? I’m her father!”
Suddenly, Rachel walked out of the conference room amid the chaotic scene and she snapped at him,
“What’s with themotion?”
As soon as Jefferey saw Rachel, he red ferociously at her. “I can’t believe that you’d dare toe
out and see me! I’m here to teach you a lesson today! You’re such an ungrateful, unfilial w*nch and you
deserve a beating!”
Meanwhile, Rachel stared at him with a cold expression. “I’ve been back in the country for so long and
this is only the second time we’ve met each other. Are you about toy hands on me now? You should
at least give me a reason, don’t you think?”
“I knew that you came back with bad intentions! First, you took Amber’s job and now, you’ve also gone
after her fiancé! You’re her elder sister; how can you behave so shamelessly!”
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the office. At that moment, Rachel maintained herposure and
she nced at the security guards. “Let go of him.”
“Miss Hudson?”
“It’s fine. Let go of him. I don’t believe that President Hudson would dare toy hands on his own
daughter in broad daylight as we stand here at Burton Pharmaceuticals.” This time, she addressed him
as ‘President Hudson’ to essentially remind him of the entire Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ reputation.
Just then, Jefferey’s expression stiffened and he clenched his fists tightly. She’s threatening me to be
conscious of Hudson Pharmaceutical’s reputation.
“There are so many people waiting for us to put on a show. President Hudson, is this the reason for you
causing thismotion right now? Did you invite members of the press to join you? Or is there
someone you trust who’s secretly recording some footage? Do you n to edit the footage and then
post it on the inte?”
With just a few sentences, Rachel managed to easily point out his despicable ways.
Meanwhile, Jefferey was raging mad and his expression was thunderous. “If you still consider yourself
a daughter of the Hudson Family, you shouldn’t conduct yourself so shamelessly!”
“Am I the shameless one? In the past, wasn’t it because your darling daughter, Amber, had taken
offense at Justin’s ugly looks and difficult personality, which was why I was forced to marry him in her
ce? You threatened me with my grandma’s life. If I refused, then I would have to stand there and
watch as she lost her life.”
As soon as she said that, everyone in the office started to whisper amongst themselves.
“So that’s what actually happened! I feel bad for Miss Hudson!”
“President Burton used to have a scar on his face. I’ve heard this from Sandy before she left the
company.”

“He’s inhumane! He sold off his daughter!”
“Both of them are his daughters, so how can he be so unfair?”
“Look, he’se here to create trouble too. He must have intended to embarrass Miss Hudson! This is
too much!”
Just then, the crowd’s remarks rang out and Jefferey clearly heard everything. Truth be told, this was
all beyond his expectations. He had originally expected that since Amber had five years of history
working for Burton Pharmaceutical, she must have built up rtionships with some of the people here.
However, he didn’t expect Rachel to win the favor of the crowd in just a few months’ time. No one stood
up for Amber at the moment.
And so, Jefferey instantly lost his temper. “This is not true! Rachel, I’ve brought you up for the past
twenty-odd years and is this how you repay me? I must teach you a lesson today! I…”
At that point, he had lost his reasoning. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a pair of scissors
by the side and he immediately grabbed it before hurtling it toward Rachel.
