My Mute Bride

Chapter 86 Nod or Shake

Rachel stared at Justin in disbelief. That’s not what I meant.

“No? Then why were you explaining?”

I… Justin looked at her coldly. “You should know the real reason people actually respect you now. Don’t get ahead of yourself.”

Justin’s insult tore her to shreds, but a part of it was her fault. She tried to be frank with him, but there was always a possibility of disaster, and knowing Justin, that possibility was high.

“If there’s nothing else, you may leave now. And keep your head down.”

Rachel wanted to stay, but when she met his indifferent gaze, she had no choice but to leave. Right after she left, she bumped into Julian.

“What’s the matter? You look pale.”

Indeed, she was pale. I’m fine.

“Is it about something Justin said to you?”

Rachel shook her head, but she looked crestfallen. Her forlorn look made Julian uncomfortable for some reason, and he frowned.

Early the next morning, Rachel woke up to make breakfast.

“Good morning, Master Justin.” A servant greeted Justin, then she served him a cup of coffee.

“Madam has made breakfast for you.”

“I don’t have time for that,” he answered curtly. With that, Justin left without even looking at Rachel.

As Justin drove away to work, Rachel was left alone, sad and despondent. Justin’s sudden attitude change caught her by surprise.

That afternoon, Rachel went to the restaurant near the library to have lunch with Hans. Since the fake death plan was ruined, they set everything aside for now.
