The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107

“Nothing to do with you? Cut the sh*t! If you weren’t the one who exposed Tina, who else could it be?”

I have no idea what you’re talking about

As she studied Rachel’s expression, Amber tried to pick out hints of guilt as she skeptically questioned, “It’s really not you?”

What else should I say to prove it?

“It better not be you, then! Let me warn you, if we discover that you’re the snitch who affected the business between the Hindenburgs and the Burtons, Justin will surely give you hell!”

Amber coldly continued, “The Burtons have decided to send Tina overseas for better care, and I guess that’s something worth celebrating for you, huh?”

Rachel stared at her sister in silence. You were the one who leaked the incident back at the Hudson Vineyard, weren’t you?

After reading the signs, Amber’s face stiffened. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

You’re standing here furiously because you’re concerned about Tina. Or is it because once you lose her, there’s no one else to take a bullet for you?

Apparently, Rachel’s words hit the bullseye on Amber’s unhealthy intentions.

There was no way on earth that she would treat Tina as a true friend; the latter was merely a tool for her success.

Amber was triggered by this, and she bellowed, “So what? Who do you think you are? You think you’re worth my while?”

How was he to you?

“What? Who?”

Then, Rachel wrote a name on a strip of paper before pushing it to Amber.

Noah’s name was clearly written on it.

At once, Amber’s face turned pale.

“You… You…”

Rachel pressed the bell beside her, to which her assistant quickly entered the room. “What is it, Miss Hudson?”

Please see the guest out.

Amber gazed at her sister in dismay. After a while, she regained her senses and clenched her teeth.

“Just you wait, Rachel!”

When Amber was finally escorted away, Rachel leaned against the back of her chair as tranquility filled her eyes.

After the miscarriage, Tina had even become infertile and was so depressed that she was virtually insane; she merely stared into space all day. Since her connection with Noah was thoroughly cut off, Jason decided to send her abroad to heal for the sake of the family and his daughter.

Does Justin not suspect my involvement in this matter?

Who am I kidding? Of course he does.

The cancellation of Tina and Noah’s engagement was completely disadvantageous to the Burtons. On the other hand, the split was nothing but good news for the Hudsons since the Burtons were their competitors.

A simple but unbreakable plan, and all it needed was a push from me!

When evening came, Rachel invited her grandmother for dinner after cleaning up her desk.

Due to her force of habit, Nancy took a look behind Rachel, only to be disappointed.

“How many times have I told you to bring Justin along so I can take a good look at him? There’s not even a strand of hair from him after so long!”

He’s been occupied with work. He’ll come as soon as he has the time.

“Only God knows if that’s the truth,” she uttered with a frown. “I’m not trying to be a typical grandma, but if you’re not happy spending the days with him, you should get a divorce soon instead of wasting your time that you can spend on looking for another man instead.”

As she served her grandmother some food, Rachel simply smiled without a word and let the matter pass.

After dinner, she walked down the stairs alone.

When she was in the neighborhood, she caught someone hiding behind a tree suspiciously.

Rachel became alert at once, and she inserted her hand into her bag and grabbed the self-defense alarm, preparing to draw it out as soon as any sudden movements occurred.

Recently, she had been feeling as if someone was observing her every move.
