My Mute Bride

“Are you sure that Justin wanted revenge on the Hudson Family for a girl?”

Jefferey’s voice was filled with disbelief as it took Amber a long time to return to her senses. “I’m sure.”

There was no reason for Gloria to have made up a story about someone who never existed to lie to her.

After he was quiet for a while, Jefferey’s eyes suddenly brightened. “Since Rachel isn’t dead, Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ crisis would be resolved if we tell Justin about this.”

“Dad, what are you even thinking about? How could you tell Justin that? It’s true that Rachel isn’t dead and allowing them to reunite with each other might reduce his hatred toward us. However, have you ever thought about how we treated Rachel? Do you really think that she will say nice things about us in front of him?”

He was immediately taken aback.

Then, Amber continued, “By then, new grudges will be piled on old ones. Justin might seek revenge from us along with you canceling our engagement! We can’t have Rachel around any longer!”

Upon hearing that, Jefferey’s hands started to tremble before he accidentally hit his cup, causing his tea to spill all over the table. “Amber, what are you planning to do?”

“Removing all obstacles to prevent future troubles, obviously! Didn’t she want to die? I’ll help her out then!” Amber’s eyes were filled with hatred.

She had never expected that the entanglement between Rachel and Justin had happened all the way back in the past. If he discovered this, all of her own plans would turn to ashes and she might never be able to see the light of day anymore.

Amber would rather die than to see Rachel living a better life than her!

“No way! I still need her around! Moreover, she’s still one of the Hudson Family and your sister. As long as she’s still here, Justin would allow us a chance at survival, no matter what happens in the future.

Jefferey was a businessman, so he was more calculative. At that moment, he instructed, “Amber, listen to me. I will never allow you to hurt her!”

“Dad!”

“That’s enough! Leave it at that! No one is allowed to speak of it anymore!”

While giving Jefferey a look filled with hatred, Amber snapped, “Dad, you don’t even care about me!”

Then, she ran. There’s no one whom I can rely on beside myself.

On the other hand, Rachel hadn’t been eating or drinking for the past two days in the hospital. As a result, she looked frailer than before.
