My Mute Bride Chapter 81

Chapter 81 The Lie Becomes the Truth

“Grandpa actually asked her to sign it?” Tina turned back to look at her assistant.

“Yes. He offered her ten million for that. I saw the agreement. It’s true.”

“So she’s moving out, I presume?”

“In a couple of days, if nothing else happens.”

Tina sneered. “What are you waiting for, then? Now that she’s no longer a part of the family, nobody’s gonna be there for her, not even if she’s dead.”

Riverdale’s skies were getting overcast. According to the weather forecast, a storm was inbound. It was already dark when Rachel came back to the villa. “What happened, madam? You don’t look so good.”

I’m fine. I just need some rest.

Rachel felt distraught, as if she had no strength. The two-hour trip back had exhausted the last of her strength, so she fell asleep the moment she came back to her room. She didn’t even have time to change. The nightmares came as usual. The man in her dream felt more powerful and abusive than he was in real life. Rachel tried to break free of his grasp, but to no avail.

The night engulfed the villa bit by bit.

“Young Master Justin.” The servant took Justin’s suit from him. “You’re early today. Have you had dinner?”

Justin nodded. “Where’s the madam? Is she home?”

“She came back a while ago, but she didn’t look too good. Skipped out on dinner, too.”

Hearing that, Justin frowned.

The room was dead silent. Rachel was on the bed, covered by a blanket. But when she heard someone coming in, she shot up. The moment Justin came in, he was met with Rachel’s fearful gaze, and a pregnant silence came between them.

“You need to eat.” He came in with Rachel’s dinner.
