My Mute Bride

Chapter 84 The Business He Negotiated

Rachel stayed in the hospital for just three days, since she didn’t suffer any injuries aside from a minor concussion. On the day of her discharge, it was Frankie who came to deal with the paperwork, and she reflexively looked behind him.

“President Burton isn’t here,” Frankie answered. “He’s been busy over the last couple of days. In some business talk with his partner. That’s why he wanted me to take you home first.”

Rachel nodded, though she felt slightly crestfallen.

In the car, Rachel took the back seat, while Frankie took the passenger seat. “Madam, the guys from the repair shop sent your bag back. You left it in your car. It’s in the back seat. Why don’t you check and see if anything’s missing?”

Looking at the canvas bag beside her, Rachel rummaged through it for a moment, and she frowned. Weird…

“What’s wrong, madam?” Frankie asked.

Rachel snapped out of it and shook her head. It’s not anything valuable anyway, so I guess it’s fine, she thought.

Right after she came back to the Burtons’ villa, a servant came to help her with her stuff.

They kept asking her if she needed anything, and even Mrs. Duncan—who never smiled at her—was beaming. She even asked what Rachel wanted for dinner.

Anything’s fine. You don’t have to go that far.

“No can do. Young Master Justin said the whole family is having dinner together tonight. He’s going to throw you a little welcome party.”

Rachel was touched. Nobody had been so kind to her ever since she was little. Even though Justin wasn’t nice to her, at least he had taken care of her well lately. He even saved her life a few days earlier. But that made her hesitate about the plan.

Rachel came downstairs to help even before it was dark, starting with Justin’s favorite tea.

That of course irked Sue, and she clicked her tongue. “That b*tch. She’s nothing more than a lowly servant, but she’s acting like she owns the place.”

Mrs. Duncan sighed. “Don’t let anyone hear you. Everyone’s saying that Young Master Justin is paying a lot of attention to her now, and Master Arthur wanted her to live in the summer villa. She’s already established her spot here.”
