The Silent Wife

Chapter 20 

Justin had brought a sign language teacher to the principal‘s office so that she could help Rachel interpret her responses. 

At that moment, the woman clenched her teeth and met the PE teacher‘s gaze. The person in the video isn‘t me. Please explain yourself. 

“How can it not be you?” the PE teacher insisted. “You were the one who seduced me back then.” 

You‘re lying. Rachel quickly signed. Why would I seduce you? 

When the teacher‘s interpreted response reached Justin‘s ears, he fell into thought. Although Rachel was a mute, she was still the eldest daughter of the Hudson Family after putting aside her unfortunate circumstances. It was indeed unexpected to think that she would seduce an ugly PE teacher. 

However, the PE teacher had his own comeback. “You wanted to raise your gym scores. The university you applied for required excellent scores across the board, but your grades for gym were too low. You couldn‘t successfully tempt me and you threatened me with a video clip, so I was forced to change your scores.” 

Rachel‘s face drained of color, and she frantically defended herself by signing away, 

“How could I seduce a teacher just to change my scores?‘ 

The way Justin looked at her changed. Amidst the tense stand–off, he gave an order coldly. “Check the records,” he said. 

The school records would have all of a student‘s grades, and everything would be clear as long as they checked the records. 

Rachel‘s school records were soon retrieved. Despite her muteness, she excelled in every subject, save for the ‘fail‘ grade at the end of her second semester as a sophomore, which had been struck out with red pen. 

Anyone could see what the problem was since the grade had been changed to a higher one when she had failed it. 

Intense coldness bubbled instantly in Justin‘s eyes. “What else do you have to say for yourself?” he asked Rachel coldly. 

Rachel‘s face was even whiter than the walls around her, and she shook her head weakly. 

Smack. The packet containing her school records was flung onto the desk. “From now on, you are no longer the mistress of the Burton Family.” 

The entire office went horrendously silent after those words fell.
