My Mute Bride Chapter 85

Chapter 85 He Won’t Fall For a Mute

When she searched for the trending entertainment news that day, the first one that showed up was something related to Burton Group. ‘Burton Group CEO, Justin Burton appears with Amber Hudson.’

That was the first headline she saw, and most of the other news were fake, though that didn’t stop the writers from publishing them. The article that got the most shares went along the lines of ‘Sisters fighting for the position of CEO wife.’ At that point, it had more than ten thousand shares.

Rachel paled, losing the courage to keep on scrolling. How should I explain this to Grandma? What if this is the news she saw?

“Don’t worry. I’ll go with you.” Julian reassured her. “It’s not too serious yet, and Justin should have sent his men to keep this down by now.”

“You want to tell her the truth?”

That’s all I can do now. Rachel stared down at her phone’s screen that was dark, her fingers trembling.

They arrived at Rachel’s grandmother’s place a short while later, but her grandmother didn’t look too happy.

“I’ll be off to get something. See you later.” Julian excused himself after sending Rachel to her grandmother’s place.

After he closed the door, Nancy sat down on the sofa, turned the TV on, and kept changing the channels.

Rachel fidgeted for a moment, but eventually, she sat down beside her and started testing the waters. Are you mad at me, Grandma?

“Why would I? You just forgot to tell me you got married, after all. You just forgot to tell me who you married. Heard he’s from some kind of company. Rich man, huh? Can’t even find out anything about him.”
