My Mute Bride Chapter 335
Chapter 335 Love Over Gold
“Refuse to take action?” Dillon’s gloomy gaze darkened even more. “In that case, there’s no reason for
her to return with us today.”
At this moment, L’s figure was hidden behind the door of the stairwell in the hotel. She was used to
taking the stairs whenever she was ‘working’. After all, many things could go wrong when taking the
elevator.
The sound of light footsteps did not escape her ears and she nced upstairs from the corner of her
eyes. Ayer of dust settled on the shoulder of her ck jacket before she tightened her fingers around
the gun and her palms began to perspire.
She had killed many people over the years and it was not easy for her to finally attain her current
position. Nevertheless, she never imagined that the first person whom Dillon wanted her to kill when
she returned to Riverdale again was her old friend.
“Miss Hudson, have you found what you were looking for?”
The stairwell was not far from the private room. It was only separated by a door, so L could clearly
hear the conversation between the serving staff and Rachel.
Rachel’s voice came from within the private room. “Not yet. You can go back to your work. I will search
for it myself.”
“Alright. Just let us know if you need anything.”
“Sure.”
The serving staff’s footsteps disappeared along the corridor. At this moment, Rachel was the only
person left inside the private room.
L stood behind the door of the stairwell, but she attentively listened to themotion behind her.
She knew that if she did not take action now, the people whom Dillon sent would kill her without
hesitation and Rachel would not survive either.
On the other hand, Rachel stood at the door to the restroom. She was just about to enter the restroom
after confirming that the serving staff outside had left when she suddenly heard the sound of the door
opening behind her.
“Who is it?” She spun around and saw Justin. “Why are you here?”
She quickly closed the door to the restroom.

Justin red at her with a look of dense rage on his cold, handsome face. “Come with me.”
“Go where? What are you doing!? Let go of me!” As she was unable to win against him, he forcefully
dragged her out of the private room. “Justin Burton, I’m going to report you to the police if you don’t let
me go now!”
“You’re going to file a police report? Sure! Go ahead and do it!” Justin released his grip on her with a
furious expression. “Who did you meet today? What did you talk about? Do you dare to tell the police
about it?”
“Why would I need to tell the police about that? I only need to say that you’re stalking me! I thought you
had changed! I can’t believe that you’re just the same as usual!”
He did not wish to argue with her. “Come with me right now.”
“Don’t touch me!”
He refused to be reasoned with and dragged her directly to the underground parking garage.
“I don’t care what you want to do. It doesn’t even matter whether it is for Hudson Pharmaceuticals or for
yourself. In any case, you’re not allowed to interfere in matters involving Jason anymore!”
After dragging her all the way over, Justin yanked her toward the spot where he had parked his car.
She was unable to break free of his grip and continued to struggle, but identally knocked off his hat
before her expression immediately changed. “Justin, you…”
All of his hair had been shaved off while his head was wrapped in bandages and gauze. He looked
exactly like a patient who was undergoing chemotherapy in the hospital. Despite the dim lights in the
garage, Rachel could still see how vulnerable he was. She suddenly recalled the phone call she
received from Frankie earlier, telling her that Justin was on the operating table.
Before she had time for further thoughts, the sound of someone pping slowly came from behind her.
“What is this little show? Miss Hudson, will you exin this to me?”
It was Dillon with two bodyguards behind him and they suddenly appeared behind them at some point
in time.
Her expression froze for a moment. “Young Master Porter, weren’t you drunk?”
“If I had not gotten drunk, how would I have the chance to witness this strange and twisted y? Miss
Hudson, I’m bing more curious about you.”
Justin tugged at Rachel’s hand. “Come with me.”
“She’s not going anywhere anymore.” Dillon nced at Justin coldly. “You can barely protect yourself.
Do you think you can take her away?”
“This is Riverdale, not the Golden Cruise.” Justin stood protectively in front of Rachel with a grim
expression. “I don’t care who you are, but I can guarantee that you will not walk out of Riverdale alive if
you touch a single hair on my head or Rachel’s head.”
“How arrogant. You are Jason’s nephew, right? I’ve heard of you.” Dillon snorted withughter. “Do you
know how your uncle grovels before my feet?”
Justin’s expression remained unchanged. “I am not him.”
“Hah!” Dillon nced at him. “In my opinion, there’s no difference.”
L arrived at this time. As soon as Rachel saw L, her eyes narrowed considerably and she
subconsciously stepped forward.
“Rael!” Justin stopped her. “Get in the car.”
However, Dillon gave a wave of his hand. “L, what are you waiting for?”
L walked straight toward Justin and Rachel with a dark expression.
Justin pulled Rachel behind him, lifted his hand, and blocked L’s flying kick. In the blink of an eye, the
two of them exchanged a series of blows in the garage. Fists mmed against flesh as the cold wind
rustled.
Although his martial arts skills were not bad, L was a person who survived numerous grave
situations. Not to mention, he had just undergone surgery. It didn’t take them to fight for long before she
kicked him to the ground and a gun was pressed against his forehead in the time that he took to stand
up.
“Run, Rae!” His first reaction was to ask Rachel to escape.
On the contrary, Rachel did not listen to Justin and instead stood motionlessly in ce. It was not the
first time that she saw L holding a gun because that item had been pointed at her headst time.
Dillon pped his hands and said in amazement, “This is rare! It is said that the President of the Burton
Group is cold, ruthless, and disinterested in women, but I have learned something new today. Love is
stronger than gold! He doesn’t even care for his own life! Miss Hudson, I feel so touched on your
behalf.”
Rachel’s expression was grim. “Young Master Porter, I don’t understand. Why are you doing this? We
have yet toplete our business deal, so isn’t it too early to burn your bridges?”
“Burn my bridges? Based on your rtionship with the Chief of the Riverdale Investigation Bureau, I
don’t think I’d be able to cross the bridge anyway. Right?”
After saying that, his expression immediately became frosty. “Miss Hudson, I warned you when we first
started working together. I hate traitors. I also hate the Riverdale Investigation Bureau. You’ve stepped
on the two things I despise the most.”
“Traitor?” She was puzzled. “What do you mean by that?”
“If not for Mr. Burton appearing out of nowhere, wouldn’t you have gotten hold of the route map for our
latest shipment of goods? What are you pretending for?”
As Dillon looked around, he pointed at Justin, then at Rachel, and finally at L. “You, you, and you.
None of you will live past today.”
Justin’s eyes narrowed upon hearing those words. He struggled to stand, but the gun pointing at his
head had pressed him firmly to the ground.
Rachel stared at Dillon intently. “It turns out that you didn’te here for the banquet tonight, Young
Master Porter. It looks like it was a trap set up for me. You wanted me to jump right into your trap.”
“It’s toote to realize that now.”
“Asking you to believe me or release me seems to be impossible now, Young Master Porter.
Nevertheless, I want to die with the understanding of why. There’s something I need to warn you
about.”
“What is it?”
Her eyes darkened as she quietly spilled the beans. “That woman by your side, L Hart… She’s not a
simple person.”
He was slightly taken aback by those words.
