My Mute Bride Chapter 241


    Chapter 241 Setup


    Rachel let go, causing the back of Amber’s head to m against the wall. Amber wanted to let out an


    ear-piercing shriek but her voice was caught within her throat, and she stared wide-eyed at Rachel,


    feeling so terrified that she couldn’t make any sound.


    “Let go of her.” The two men then let go of Amber, and she slid bonelessly down along the wall to the


    ground as she looked up in terror at Rachel.


    Thetter then squatted in front of Amber and raised a hand slightly, but Amber screamed and put her


    hands over her head.


    “So scared?” Rachel scoffed coldly, holding a hand over the other woman’s head for a moment before


    dropping it to her shoulder and brushing away a fallen leaf. Slowly, she stood up again. “It’s good that


    you’re scared. I trust you’ll mind your own business from now on.”


    Only after an insurmountable amount of time and when the alley had fallen silent did Amber lift her


    shaking head. After staring nkly into space for a while, she stood up and raced out of the alley,


    stumbling multiple times along the short distance.


    Meanwhile in the office at the school, Victor was pouring Rachel a cup of tea. “Samuel’s gone off to


    gym ss with his friends. Don’t worry; I’ll stay here in school. Nothing will happen to him.”


    In reply, she inclined her head. “I feel better with you here. Plus, I don’t think Amber will be able to


    cause trouble for much longer.”


    “I don’t think she’s the type to let things go easily.”


    “Well, if Hudson Pharmaceuticals falls, what more can she do?”


    “What do you mean?”


    “While abroad, Jolly and I drafted an acquisition n for Hudson Pharmaceuticals that has been


    approved by Carter Enterprise’s internal board of directors. When I’m done with my business on hand,


    the n will be put in motion.”


    “Doesn’t Hudson Pharmaceuticals still have the support of the Burton Group?”


    “If Justin still supports them, I wouldn’t be able to do anything to Amber.”


    In an instant, Victor understood. “Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ market reputation has been pretty shoddy


    these few years. Even Jefferey has handed the care of thepany over to a general manager. The


    FDA has found multiple issues, and rumors on the Inte are that Amber doesn’t care much about the


    company and is focused solely on Burton Pharmaceuticals.”


    “It’s not unusual for father and daughter toe to blows considering how capitalistic they both are.”


    In truth, Rachel believed Jefferey truly did love Amber as his daughter, but he valued the future of


    Hudson Pharmaceuticals more. Since Amber wasn’t a fool, how could she possibly allow herself to be


    manipted by him?


    And the moment there was a rift between them, nothing else would matter.

    Once trouble descended, they would each go their own way.


    Twirling the teacup in her hand, Rachel asked, “I think grandma would approve of my doings if she


    were still alive. Don’t you think so, Victor?”


    The person that Nancy was closest to in life, apart from Rachel, was Victor. Rarely did Rachel bring


    Nancy up to other people but in front of Victor, she couldn’t help wanting to reminisce.


    Solemnly, he answered, “I wouldn’t know about anyone else, but I think she would support everything


    you did as long as you were happy.”


    “Well, I can’t live my life solely based on my happiness. There are still plenty of issues I have to


    resolve. Besides, I’m only taking back what I deserve.”


    …


    At the Burton Group, just as Justin was leaving the morning meeting, Frankie rushed up to him to


    report, “Amber called you multiple times, President Burton, but I refrained from disturbing you as you


    were in a meeting.”


    “What does she want now?”


    “She didn’t specify, but Miss Hudson also called and brought up Miss Charlotte’s bodyguards, so I sent


    someone to investigate.”


    “And what did you find?”


    Frankie ryed the incident where Amber trapped Samuel in an alley this morning to him.


    Justin’s expression darkened in the blink of an eye. “How dare she do such a thing? And what about


    Charlotte’s bodyguards?”


    Looking conflicted, Frankie answered, “Well, your instructions were to guard only Miss Charlotte, so


    they didn’t dare to leave her side.”


    “Are they stupid? Did they just watch on as Samuel was mobbed by a group of adults?”


    “Don’t worry, President Burton. It seems Miss Burton expected such a thing to happen and arrived in


    time not only to send Samuel to school, but to teach Amber a lesson as well. She scared Amber quite a


    bit.”


    “Amber deserved it,” Justin muttered coldly. “I don’t want something like this to happen again. Have two


    more bodyguards assigned to the kids,” he ordered.


    “Of course.”


    “Also, revoke the section concerning Hudson Pharmaceuticals inst quarter’s investment ns and


    put the acquisition n on hold.”


    The best option for Hudson Pharmaceuticals, given its current precarious state, was to be acquired by


    the Burton Group.


    Although Arthur had brought up the topic several times, Justin remained lukewarm to the idea. From


    his perspective, Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ internal management was in chaos, and a thorough


    investigation had to be conducted so that a few unsavory gray market practices could be done away


    with prior to acquisition.


    Hence, Amber’s actions today not only angered him but essentially put an end to the future of Hudson


    Pharmaceuticals.


    However, Frankie brought up ufortably, “About Old Mr. Burton…”


    “Don’t worry about him. Just do what I tell you to. I’ll handle him.”


    Thoughtfully, Frankie continued, “Even if we don’t take into ount what Amber did, I wasn’t optimistic


    about the acquisition of Hudson Pharmaceuticals.”


    “Naturally.”


    “Oh—by the way, President Burton, here’s the mall event n for Valentine’s Day. Please take a look.”


    As Frankie said that, he ced a document onto the desk.


    When Justin nced at the poster titled ‘Blooming Valentine,’ he froze slightly. “It’ll be Valentine’s Day


    in two days?”


    “Yes, it’s this Friday.” Being an observant person, Frankie was careful as he added, “The restaurants


    are bound to be packed to the brim on that day. If you n on having dinner then, it’s best to make


    reservations for a table, a cake, and flowers beforehand.”


    “Really?”


    “Yes, I’ll help you make reservations for cake and a table. What kind of flowers would you like?”


    Finally, Justin came back to his senses and red at Frankie. “Did I mention needing reservations?”


    Flinching, Frankie answered, “Do you not need them?”


    “You’re taking more and more initiative nowadays. Why don’t I let you sit behind the CEO’s desk


    instead?”


    “No, no, no. It’s your seat!” Frankie shook his head sheepishly and mumbled, “I was out of turn.”


    Upon flipping through the document and finding it to be eptable, Justin put his signature on thest


    page. “Tell the marketing department to go ording to the n, but switch out half of the red roses for


    the on-site bouquet arrangements with tulips. Too many red roses would just make the scene tacky.”


    “Of course. I’ll let the marketing department know right away.” Taking back the document, Frankie


    prepared to leave.


    “Hold on,” Justin called out before pausing once again.


    Puzzled, Frankie stopped in his tracks. “Is there something else you needed, President Burton?”


    “Make them white tulips. Got it?”


    “Of course. Don’t worry, the marketing department can handle such a minor change perfectly.”


    Glumly, Justin watched Frankie leave.
