My Mute Bride Chapter 323
Chapter 323 Using Jolly for Money Laundering
For some reason, as Justin listened to Rachelmbasting Ryan, he couldn’t help but specte that she
might be seeing him in the same light.
“Why are they so silent?” Rachel stared at the door and frowned. She had to check on Jolly and Ryan,
as the notion that they were staying in the same ce alone unsettled her.
All of a sudden, Justin took her hand. A startled Rachel turned her head and saw the man sporting a
solemn expression. “I don’t know whether Ryan is really the kind of person you’ve described, but you
need to know that I’m not the same.”
At that moment, Rachel was astounded.
Justin went on to say, “From now on, I’ll never hurt you using any excuse. If I do, I’ll die a horrible
death.”
The way he made an oath stunned Rachel.
Amnesia was the most inconceivable thing to her ever. The man who used to be ruthless and
indifferent was now making an oath to make her happy.
Unfortunately, she didn’t take the oath seriously, as she believed that the man was just trying to please
her. Justin and Ryan are birds of a feather.
“Chris!” Jolly suddenly eximed. “Come here now!”
Rachel came to her senses and replied, “I’ming.”
She took a nce at Justin, who then let her go.
They shuffled toward the living room before seeing that Jolly and Ryan were standing at the table, on
which the gift box given to Jolly by Julia was ced.
The box was opened, and the hem of the wedding dress was hung over the edge of the box.
“What’s wrong?” Rachel walked over. “Why did you take it out?”
Jolly uttered, “There’s something wrong with this wedding dress.”
Rachel’s eyes fell upon the wedding dress. “What do you mean?”
“Look.”
The wedding dress was intricately made, as there wereyers ofces. Jolly lifted the hem and took
Rachel’s hand before leading her to feel it. There seemed to be some very hard objects in one of the
layers. They had no idea what those were, but these objects felt as hard as stones.
After lifting theces, they saw the interfacing in the middle of the dress where the objects were
concealed.
If they hadn’t deliberately looked into it, they wouldn’t have discovered it, as the wedding dress was
multiyered.
“What are these?”
“I don’t know.” Jolly shook her head. “He discovered it.”
While they were having an argument earlier, they identally knocked the gift box over.
As soon as Ryan saw the wedding dress, he questioned Jolly about what was going on. Upon learning
that it was a wedding dress given to her by someone from the club, he immediately realized that
something must be wrong with it. He was eventually proven right.
“Is this some kind of new design?” Jolly ran her hand over the hem as she let her imagination run wild.
“Maybe it’s for a massage effect or to keep the hem in ce.”
“I’ve never heard of such a design before.” Rachel touched the dress and felt that something was off.
“Why are these objects fixed inside? I can’t even move them.”
“We just have to cut it and see what’s inside.” Ryan’s voice reverberated in the room.
Jolly nned on selling the wedding dress, so she didn’t agree to it. However, she was unable to stop
him as the man already had a pair of scissors in his hand.
The next moment, the interfacing in the middle was cut open. As soon as the objects inside it were
revealed, all of them were dazzled by the icy glint. With narrowed eyes, they stared at the objects in
disbelief.
Presently, they could see that a lot of diamonds asrge as nails had been woven on the interfacing as
these precious items twinkled under the light.
“My goodness.” Even though Jolly was born wealthy, she had never seen so many diamonds all at
once.
Ryan put down the wedding dress and said with a solemn expression, “There’s no free lunch in this
world. Have you ever thought about why Julia Bowman would give you a wedding dress woven with
diamonds when you’re not even close to her?”
“She said that it’s a promise between my dad and her.”
“She promised to give you a wedding dress embedded with diamonds?” Ryan shot her a nce. “If I’m
not mistaken, she’s trying to do some moneyundering by using this wedding dress as a disguise.”
“Moneyundering?” Jolly’s expression changed. “What do you mean?”
“If nothing unexpected happens, you’ll leave the ship with this wedding dress, and you won’t use it in a
short period of time. The way I see it, you’ll probably sell the wedding dress, which will be resold
several times and end up in a foreign country. In the end, it’ll go back into Julia’s hands, but she’ll
already be overseas by then.”
The customs officers would never discover the diamonds inside the wedding dress. That way, arge
amount of money in the form of diamonds would arrive in a foreign country safely, and those from the
Investigation Bureau would never find out.
Even if they discovered anything, this wedding dress belonged to Jolly, and there was no evidence to
suggest that it had anything to do with Julia.
A horrified Rachel uttered, “You mean Julia is using Jolly for moneyundering by sending these
diamonds abroad?”
“Yes.”
A nonchnt Jolly said, “It’s not like I care. Since I’ve discovered these diamonds, I won’t sell them.
Instead, I’ll go to a jewelry shop and turn them into diamond essories.”
“Do you think Julia will let you keep these diamonds?”
As Ryan’s voice reverberated around the room, Rachel knitted her brows.
At this moment, she couldn’t help but admire the fact that Ryan was truly astute. If he hadn’t found
these diamonds, Jolly and she would leave the ship with these precious items without knowing it.
If they came across any danger in the future, they would never realize that it had anything to do with
the wedding dress.
“The ship is reaching the harbor soon.”
All of them came to their senses upon hearing Justin’s words.
These precious items were undoubtedly hot potatoes for them now. If they left the ship with these
diamonds, they’d invite trouble to themselves. However, if they left these diamonds behind, they’d still
fall into danger.
Without needing Ryan to break it to them, Rachel and Jolly were aware that some people were paying
close attention to the wedding dress outside the room.
Rachel asked, “Please stop putting us on tenterhooks, Mr. Sutton. We’re about to reach the harbor.
What should we do now?”

“Keep it inside the box and leave the ship with it.”
“Before Julia retrieves these diamonds, we’ll be continuously monitored, right?”
“They’re keeping a close eye on the wedding dress, not you all. What if the dress is in someone else’s
hands?”
Rachel and Jolly were startled upon hearing that.
As she listened to the sound of the ship’s horn, Jolly uttered impatiently, “Cut to the chase. Stop
beating around the bush with us! I don’t understand it, and I have no time for this.”
Ryan suggested by saying, “When we leave the ship, I’ll bring the wedding dress with me.”
Jolly was shocked. “You want to take this dress with you?”
Upon understanding his intention, Rachel and Justin exchanged nces.
Ryan was doing this to protect Jolly. Once the wedding dress was in his hands, Julia’s subordinates
would only have their eyes on him. After what happened on the cruise ship, Rachel became aware of
what Julia was really like.
She might appear to be a gentle and elegantdy, but she was actually a ruthless person who had no
qualms about killing people. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have organized such a banquet on the Golden
Cruise.
However, Jolly snorted. “Ryan, you’re trying to take these diamonds away, right?”
