My Mute Bride Chapter 38

Rachel could not refute Arthur’s words.

Everyone in the Burton Family knew that the person whom Justin initially wanted to marry was Amber, but she, a mute, was sent to the Burton Family on the night of their wedding instead.

Before Rachel could reply, Sue immediately continued speaking, “I know, right? I heard that she threatened her sister and said that our family is a dangerous tiger den. Apart from that, she also said that Justin is ugly and weird. Then, she pretended to be doing her younger sister a favor by marrying into our family.”

Rachel’s expression immediately changed when she heard that.

‘I have never said these words:

“You are still trying to argue!” Sue still wanted to say something but Arthur broke her off.

“Enough. We don’t have to dwell on the facts.” Arthur’s eyes were as cold as Justin when he looked at Rachel, which in turn made her shudder even though she was not cold.

“Miss Hudson, since it was a misunderstanding, why don’t we resolve it? It brings no one happiness to force both of you to be together. It’s without a doubt that you are not compatible with Justin.”

Rachel clenched her fists tightly as she looked at Arthur in shock.

He then continued in a low voice, “Not many people know this marriage to begin with, so it’s probably better to stop right here to prevent more losses. The Burton Family will compensate you. Just forget about the marriage after that.”

Rachel looked at the people around her. Some of them were looking at her gleefully, while others merely seemed disinterested.

Even in her dreams she wanted to get away from the Burton Family, but Jefferey would never let her do that and neither would Justin. She could imagine the consequences if she did that.

With the great pressure placed on her, she shook her head.

Arthur’s expression darkened in response. “You don’t want to do that? Even if you are the young lady of the Hudson Family, you are not good enough for our family. On top of that, you are an illegitimate daughter. No matter what, to our family—”

The words ‘illegitimate daughter’ stabbed at Rachel like sharp daggers.
