My Mute Bride

My Mute Bride Chapter 30

In the office of Burton Group, Justin was reading the plans of a project from his laptop.

“Mr. Burton, our greatest competitor for the East Pearl Project this time is Imperial Group. They’ve already negotiated the terms for the piece of land, so it’s quite difficult for us to overtake them at this moment.”

Frankie’s voice, which was filled with worry, came forth from behind the laptop.

Justin said, “Easy doesn’t exist in building a business.”

Frankie chewed on Justin’s words.

Burton Group was an established company, so their competitors would naturally be powerful too. Moreover, an insignificant competitor would not possibly show up in front of Justin.

Just as they were talking, Justin’s eyes darkened as he saw something on the laptop screen.

“What’s wrong, Mr. Burton?” Frankie’s heart skipped a beat as he started worrying for the staff in the engineering department. “Is there a problem with the plan?”

It was only after seeing the laptop screen, which was turned around by Justin, did Frankie come to a sudden realization.

The screen showed Justin’s mailbox. Half a minute ago, he received an anonymous email that only contained a picture, and the content of the picture was…

Frankie’s expression turned sullen. “Mr. Burton, this picture…”

Rachel and Julian were visibly seen in the picture, and the pair was in a treatment room. Julian was holding Rachel’s hand while checking on her with his head lowered.

Justin stared fixedly at their hands which were held together and ordered coldly, “Look into the IP address and find the sender.”

Frankie shivered as a chill ran down his spine. “Yes, sir.”

Staring at the picture, Justin tapped the table with his finger. His eyes darkened more at the thought of the incidents that happened recently.
