My Mute Bride

Chapter 56 Tonics

Frankie paused for a while before reacting and hurriedly took apart the wrapper. Then, he took out the item enclosed in bubble wrap.

Looking confused, he reported, “It’s a bottle of cough syrup.”

There was a label for cough syrup on the bottle, and it carried the logo of Hudson Pharmaceuticals. One could clearly read the manufactured date and ingredients. It was a product that Hudson Pharmaceuticals marketed.

However, Justin’s gaze turned slightly heavy at the discovery of the bottle, for he believed that the Hudsons would not have posted a bottle of cough syrup to Rachel. That is impossible!

At this point, Frankie also picked up on Justin’s uneasiness and trod carefully. “President Hudson, is there any problem?”

Justin looked calm and did not give away his emotions, after which he instructed Frankie in a low voice, saying, “Get someone to test the contents of the bottle.”

“Sure.” Frankie nodded and secretly guessed that the bottle of medicine must be problematic. After that, the business sedan left the neighborhood and traveled to the building of Burton Group.

On the way, Frankie brought up the topic of the shareholders meeting. “President Burton, I think your uncle might create trouble in the meeting over the Brentwood New City project.”

Jason Burton?

Justin’s face was as expressionless as usual. “Huh. Ever since he formed connections with the Hindenburgs, he appears more confident than before.”

“It seems so. The internal issues that surfaced from the project this time are closely related to him.”

“Have we dealt with those involved?”

“Yes. We left one unharmed, according to your orders.”

Justin gave a light nod and changed the topic. “Tina is going to attend the meeting, isn’t she?”

After all, she also holds some company shares.

Frankie nodded. “If everything goes smoothly, all the shareholders will show up.”

Although Justin remained silent, his steely gaze, as seen from the rearview mirror, was as deterring and unapproachable as a steep cliff to climbers.
