My Mute Bride

“I don’t have many enemies, and there’s only one person who’s in conflict of interest with me, no?”

Then, it suddenly dawned upon Jolly. “It’s Amber, that b*tch!” Angrily, she burst out, “I’m going to call Mom and Dad right now to help me remove all those nasty news! I’m going to block those articles!”

On the contrary, Rachel was surprisingly calm. “There’s no need for that. Let’s wait.”

Then, she continued, “This issue is currently gaining a lot of attention from the media, so it would only be counterproductive if you asked for Mr. Carter’s help.”

“What should we do, then? How could we just let Justin defame you and use you as a scapegoat so that he could protect the Burtons’ reputation?” Jolly cried.

As Rachel held on to her phone, she reassured Jolly, “I won’t. I will not take the blame for something I didn’t

do.”

Five years ago, Rachel had mutism and was unable to speak. As a result, she had been wrongly accused on many occasions, but she could not refute. However, things were different now that she had been given the chance to speak again. She would no longer hold back her anger and stay silent.

As soon as Rachel left, Justin exploded with rage.

Meeting Justin at the wrong time, the head of the finance department was like a sheep in a lion’s den as he was yelled at before coming out of the office. He was so startled that he almost banged his head into the door.

“Woah, slow down, Manager Davidson,” Frankie cautioned as he escorted Asher out.

Wiping off the sweat on his forehead, he asked, “What’s with Mr. Burton today? He rejected the quarterly budget before I even had the chance to speak. What should I do now?”

“It’s not your fault. You just came at the wrong time. I suggest you come back in two days.”

“What happened?”

“Don’t ask. Knowing too much will do you no good.”

After sending Asher away, Frankie stood at the doorway for a moment before making a call.

“Hi, it’s me. How’s it going with the investigation?”

“You need to speed it up because I’ll need the investigation report by nine in the morning tomorrow. You must verify the time and all its details.”

After putting down the phone, he stared at Justin’s office worriedly.

If Justin had not lost his memories, he definitely would not have said those words to Rachel the other day.

That night, Charlotte threw a huge tantrum when she found out that Rachel had moved back home.
