My Mute Bride Chapter 39

“Who did he want to kill?”

“Lionel Hudson.”

This name had disappeared in Riverdale for many years. It had been so long that even Arthur was unfamiliar with him, but it was easy to tell that Lionel’s incident was strongly related to Jefferey.

“Jefferey’s older brother?”

Justin nodded. “After the fire, the shares in Jefferey’s hands had increased by more than 130 percent. He became the biggest shareholder of Hudson Pharmaceuticals and took over the company after that.”

Arthur’s gaze became more serious. “Justin, this is the private matters of the Hudson Family.”

The casualties resulting from internal battles within rich and prestigious families were usually covered up pretty well. It was meaningless to recount such a mysterious incident from so many years ago.

Meanwhile, Justin’s tone was extremely cold. “There’s karma in murdering someone. Jefferey should pay the price for this.”

After seeing that it was useless to advise him anymore, Arthur controlled his expression and sighed helplessly. “I’m tired. You may go back first.”

Without another word, Justin left.

After that, the butler came into the room to pour a cup of tea for Arthur.

“Sir, the young master is still young so he is more impulsive. It’s natural that he cannot tolerate the occurrence of such an incident. After all, the fire that year almost killed him.”

Back then, the members of the Hudson Family stopped the Burton Family from putting out the fire. If Justin did not get lucky and escaped, he would have died in that fire.

“Do you really think that it’s because of his own life that he never let the Hudson Family off the hook?” A worried expression shrouded Arthur’s face. “I’m sure that another child died in the fire back then.”

The butler froze. “You’re saying that the young master is doing this because of the child?”

Arthur nodded in response.

Everyone else knew that Justin Burton, the first young master of the family, was a cold-blooded man with a heart made of stone. He would do anything to achieve the greatest profit. However, only Arthur, his grandfather, knew that Justin valued loyalty and decency.

Upon hearing that, the butler sighed. “In that case, this is a tricky matter indeed.”
