My Mute Bride

Rachel was dishing up some desserts in the kitchen when Amber suddenly came in. “Let me help you, Rachel.”

Rachel’s back froze, and she subconsciously took a step back to keep a safe distance from Amber. Amber looked at her with her head tilted to one side and asked, “What’s with that look on your face? Are you afraid that I’ll eat you alive?”

Rachel signed, You don’t have to pretend to be kind to me. You’re the one behind the news, aren’t you? Rachel was good-tempered, but she had always had a clear understanding of things.

“What do I have to do with something you’ve done yourself?” Amber snorted coldly with her arms folded across her chest. “You should’ve seen clearly by way of this incident that you’re unwelcome in the Burton Residence. Why would you ask for trouble by insisting on staying?”

Rachel looked at her and explained dryly. You and Dad arranged for me to marry into the Burton Family

“Yeah, that’s right, but I didn’t know what kind of person Justin was back then. Now it seems to me that Dad’s move is as wrong as wrong can be. As his daughter, I should help him correct his mistakes.”

You should say that to Dad. The look in Rachel’s eyes was determined. If Jefferey wanted her to leave the Burton Family, she would definitely leave at once without a word. As long as her grandmother’s life wouldn’t be endangered, she would not stay in the Burton Residence with her heart in her mouth even for a moment longer.

However, Amber misunderstood what Rachel meant, and her face fell at once. “Are you trying to pressure me using Dad? What do you think you are? Do you think he married you into the Burton Family because he thinks highly of you?”

Rachel frowned. What sort of logic does she have? Did she become dull while studying abroad? They disliked Justin for his ugly appearance, but they had to depend on the Burton Family. Hence, they secretly substituted Amber with me and plunged me into this abyss of suffering. What does she mean by saying that Dad thinks highly of me?

Just then, Amber added, “I’m telling you, Rachel–Justin is mine. The status of Mrs. Burton should have belonged to me, so you should give up the idea as soon as
