My Mute Bride

The more she heard, the darker Amber looked. She did this on purpose. She humiliated me in front of everyone just to get back at me.

A white sports car suddenly stopped before her car, and out came a man and a boy with curly hair. They talked about something, then the man picked the boy up and went into the lobby. Just before they were gone, Amber remembered something. If she was right, she had seen the same car in front of Burton Group before.

On the other hand, the recording took more than two hours, but it eventually came to an end.

“Good job, guys. We’re done.” Rachel told Lisa to give everyone the snacks she bought, then she looked at the time. “I have something to settle, Lisa, so I’m going ahead. Keep an eye on things here.”

“No problem. Go ahead, Chris.”

Rachel left in a hurry with her phone in hand, but she didn’t leave the studio right away. Instead, she went into the pantry on the ground floor and saw Samuel sitting beside the window, drinking his juice.

“Mommy!” Samuel opened his arms the moment he saw Rachel.

Rachel hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “Sorry for asking you to wait with Samuel,” she told the man beside the boy.

The man was wearing a suit, but he answered politely, “It’s fine, Miss Chris. This is my job.”

“Where’s Jolly? Why’d she suddenly ask you to take Samuel here?”

“She seems to have something to settle, but she told me nothing. Though she said she’d be back by seven.”

Rachel frowned. “She couldn’t have gone to a club again, could she?”

The bodyguard said nothing, but Samuel looked at her. “Mommy, clubs aren’t open so early. Jolly won’t even get to drink if she is there, so she’s safe.”

“You cheeky boy.” Rachel patted his head. “How’d you know the club’s opening hours? Did Jolly tell you?”

Jolly’s bodyguard then sent Rachel and Samuel home, but unbeknownst to them, someone kept watching them until the white car was out of sight. Only after that did they leave in the opposite direction.
