My Mute Bride Chapter 57

Chapter 57 Trap

The next moment, Justin had already stood up, prompting Rachel to instinctively take a step backward.

Closing the distance between them, Justin spoke in a cold voice. “Why? Is it not to your grandmother’s liking? Has she not taken it yet? Or… do you not know anything about it?”

Justin closed his hands around her neck and… Bang! She ruthlessly slammed against the closet. Scared out of her life, Rachel yelped, but her hoarse voice only made her look even more pitiful.

Even though he watched the woman’s facial features distort in pain, moisture clouding her beautiful innocent eyes, he felt nothing in his heart.

The one thing he hated the most was people lying to him, and even more so if the lie was particularly crude.

“Was I too lenient with you? Is that why you are so fearless to do these things under my nose?”

Rachel shook her head and sobbed, her face turning red.

“Tell me, where did you go today?”

I never went anywhere.

“Is that so? If you didn’t go anywhere, that means you disappeared into thin air for a whole day?”

Justin tightened his grip, causing Rachel to throw her head back in pain, her hands clinging on to Justin’s arms and making frantic motions.

That was her survival instinct.

“You’re plotting something with Jefferey behind my back, aren’t you?”

That’s not true.

Rachel shook her head furiously, and with a mighty wave of his hand, Justin swept the tea set off the study desk onto the floor.

Crash! the cups and saucers shattered into pieces, and the scalding tea splashed onto Rachel’s feet. She screamed in pain, her hoarse voice resounding eerily in the room.

Justin pinned her down on the desk violently, then proceeded to scoop up a medicine bottle from the mess. His expression was cold as he asked, “Is this the medicine?”

There was a label on the brown bottle stating that it contained cough medicine from Hudson Pharmaceuticals. The liquid within it rippled under the lamp, a cold light shimmering within.

Rachel’s expression went stiff.
