My Mute Bride

Chapter 46 What Is Your Bargaining Chip?

The name ‘Somerset Mountain’ echoed within the office.

Justin’s expression visibly darkened as the ugly scar on his face trembled vigorously, as if the protruding vein from his forehead was suppressing his sudden surge of emotions.

“She was born in Somerset Mountain?”

Frankie returned to his senses and he quickly nodded his head. “Yes, Miss Hudson was eight years old when she was sent to the Hudson Family with her granny.”

“They were brought from Somerset Mountain?”

“That… I’m not sure.” He nervously looked at Justin.

After all, 20 years had already passed and the servants of the Hudson Family had changed many times, so it wasn’t easy for Frankie to find out that Rachel was brought over with her granny, let alone discovering their origins.

Upon listening to Frankie’s answers, Justin was instantly filled with mixed emotions. All of a sudden, he closed the document in his hands and said, “I want you to find out more about it. Let someone else head to Somerset Mountain to investigate.”

For a moment, Frankie was startled. “President Burton, why are you suddenly so interested in investigating this?”

However, Justin didn’t answer as he coldly uttered, “Go and look for the survivors of that forest fire back then. No matter how big or small, I want to learn everything about Rachel, her granny and the Hudson Family. Hurry up and go.”

Upon facing Justin’s cold gaze, Frankie quickly nodded his head. “I’ll ask someone to look into it immediately.”

Justin nodded slightly.

“By the way, there is one more thing I need to tell you, President Burton.”

“What is it?”

“About Miss Hudson renting a house outside, the intermediary couldn’t get into contact with her, but he has Dr. Peters’ number. When I called him today, he told me that Dr. Peters had already rented the house.”

“He rented it? Where is the house?”

Frankie stuttered, “Glendale.”
