My Mute Bride Chapter 251
Chapter 251 No One Could Stop Him
Rachel initially didn’t hear her name being called. It was only until after someone tapped on her
shoulder that she immediately returned to her senses. She nkly looked at the person who was
behind her for a moment before she recognized the woman. “Lisa?”
Lisa looked at Rachel in shock. “What’s wrong, Miss Hudson? I have been calling you for so long, but
you didn’t reply to me.” When Rachel returned to her senses, she answered, “I’m alright. What brings
you here?”
Lisa waved the file in her hand. “Mr. Beckham asked me to send this file to the meeting room. It’ll be
referred to in the meetingter. Congrattions, Miss Hudson.”
“For what?”
“Why are you still hiding the truth?” Lisa smiled. “Everyone knows that the meeting this afternoon is
about your promotion. We’re just waiting for the official announcement from the Human Resources
department. I guess President Burton wants to announce the news for himself.”
Upon hearing that, Rachel froze slightly.
If Lisa hadn’t brought it up, she would’ve forgotten about the promotion that Justin mentioned.
The corners of Rachel’s lips slightly twitched upward. “You’re exaggerating. Even if there’s a promotion,
I won’t be the one to get it.” So many incidents have happened recently. Justin already knows that I
won’t be staying for long at the Burton Group. I’m sure I won’t receive the position of general manager
in thepany. At the very least, this is what I can predict.
She shot a nce at her watch as the traffic light opposite them turned green once again. “Let’s go. We
are having a meeting soon.”
In thepany’s meeting room, Frankie had just finished printing out the documents and distributing
them.
Rachel arrived ratherte, but she did not expect to meet Justin at the door.
Their nces met for a few seconds before she quickly shifted her gaze and she walked directly into
the room, leaving a frowning Justin behind her.
“I’m sure everyone has some knowledge of the main topic of today’s meeting—the person who would
be the general manager of Burton Pharmaceuticals.”
His low and smart voice reverberated in the room. For meetings appointing the person in charge of a
subsidiary, the management team of the main group would be present. In this case, a few leaders from
Burton Pharmaceuticals were also in attendance and she was one of them.
“After many observations and meetings with the management team, we have made a decision.”
Justin’s eyes scanned the meeting desk before his thin lips spoke a word. “Rachel.”
Rachel was just lowering her head and perusing the documents. When she heard her name being
called, she raised her head in shock. She thought she had heard it wrongly, but the apuse rang in
the meeting room.
The congrattory words from the people surrounding her merely served to confirm the fact. How is it
possible that Justin still insists on promoting me to the general manager of Burton Pharmaceutical?
Everyone left one after another when the meeting ended.
“Why me?”
Rachel immediately stood up to question Justin.
Beside them was Frankie, who tactfully walked out and closed the door behind him, leaving only
Rachel and Justin in the meeting room.
Justin crossed his arms as he leaned back in the leather chair. His calm and collectedposure was
exactly the same as five years ago. “The words I say and the decisions I make are rarely changed.
Why do you think that you won’t be the one?”
“You clearly know that I won’t be in Burton Group for long.”
“Everyone including the intern to a high-level manager and even the shareholders can’t guarantee that
they will stay in Burton Group forever.”
“That’s different.”
“In my opinion, they are the same. It’s normal for people to enter and leave apany.”
With that, Justin rose to his full height and buttoned his suit as he asked her, “Are you done yet? If yes,
I have something else to attend to. I’ll excuse myself first.”
Rachel was at a loss for words.
“Send your proposal after the promotion to my office in three days,” he added.
Then, he walked to the door inrge strides.
As she looked at his back, she suddenly asked, “If I tell you that I’m going to resign today, what would
you do?”
Justin clearly stiffened, but he did not turn around to face her. “It takes a month toplete the
resignation process. You would at least have a month to do that. I guess I don’t have to teach you to
end things well, so just focus on what you need to do.”
Rachel frowned as he left inrge strides.
Upon seeing that Justin came out of the room with a darkened expression and he walked directly to his
office, Frankie guessed that Justin had an argument moments ago.
Other people might not be clear about the rtionship between Rachel and the trouble that the Hudson
Pharmaceuticals had gotten into, but Frankie was clear about that.
“President Burton, do you really n to ask Miss Hudson to stay in the Burton Group for a long time?”
“Why? Are you also against that idea?”
“What I meant is that she has a deal with Old Mr. Burton. Even without me telling you, I’m sure you are
clear that she can’t stay for long, even if she wanted to.”
Since the beginning, Arthur had never nned for Rachel to stay in the Burton Group. One could
guess that the deal was for her to leave Justin and the Burton Group without thinking deeply into the
matter.
Justin clenched his fists tightly. “As long as she is willing to stay, there are many ways to ask her to do
so formally.”
With that, he immediately entered the office.
As the office door closed, Frankie suddenly realized something. “President Burton, you’re saying
that…”
He was shocked as he stared at the tightly shut office door. He insisted on Rachel’s promotion so that
she doesn’t have to worry about staying? If Rachel is in charge of the future of Burton Pharmaceuticals,
no matter what deal she had made with Old Mr. Burton, he would not let her easily leave for the sake of
Burton Group’s future. When that time arrives, even if she wants to leave, he would ask her to stay.
President Burton has really exercised a lot of effort into this. Would Rachel be appreciative of his
actions, though?
Frankie heaved a quiet sigh as he thought of what Rachel had done after she returned.
On the other hand, when she returned to her office, the colorful confetti flew around with a loud bang,
which startled her.
“Congrattions on your promotion, Chris! In the future, we would need to address you as President
Hudson.”

The members of her department gathered and enthusiastically cheered for her, making her unable to
stop smiling.
“You guys…”
Lisa was the first one to speak, “What did I say? Everyone already knew about the promotion. Chris,
from now onward, you are our official boss.”
“Yeah, we will have to address you as President Hudson in the future.”
“Let’s work hard with Chris from now on!”
Amidst the cheers, the crowd pushed a small trolley that had a cake with lit candles and they asked
Rachel to blow out the candles.
One would have to admit that just in a few months, she had built an excellent culture in Burton
Pharmaceuticals. Everyone was loyal to her and they prepared the celebration as soon as they heard
the news of her promotion.
“Chris,e and blow the candles now!”
“What’s the rush? The main highlight of the show is still not here yet!”
Rachel asked in confusion, “What highlight of the show?”
Lisa mysteriously looked at her. Then, the crowd cleared the way to a corner of the office desk as they
stood in two rows.
Then, Rachel immediately saw a huge bouquet of roses.
