My Mute Bride

Rachel crossed her arms. “Mary bought some honey right after you wired her a hundred thousand, and Charlotte’s allergy acted up right after that. Yet you’re trying to… shift the blame.”

“No. I didn’t do this.” Amber tried to explain herself. “Justin, I didn’t do this.”

“I’ll get someone to look into this.” Justin looked at her icily.

“Daddy!” Charlotte called out to Justin. He quickly wiped off his fury and went into the ward.

“Justin!” Amber wanted to go inside too, but Rachel stopped her. “What do you think you’re doing?” Amber looked irritated.

“I know what you were trying to do. You did this to Charlotte so you can put the blame on me, right?”

“Nonsense! What proof do you have?”

“Oh, I have a lot of it. I can show it to you if you want. It’s a one-way ticket to prison, and I don’t mind giving it to you early.”

Amber was getting mad. “Why did you come back? What do you want?”

“What rightfully belongs to me. Justin and Charlotte.”

“Let me go, Rachel!”

“Listen up, Amber. Lay a finger on Charlotte again and I’ll make sure you’re ruined.” Rachel shot her a terrifying glare. “I wonder if Old Mr. Burton will let you marry Justin if I were to, oh I don’t know, upload the video where you’re having sex with Noah?”
