My Mute Bride

Rachel clenched her fists and her eyes were locked on Justin. He is threatening me.

Justin then scoffed and roared, “Also, make sure that the brat doesn’t ever appear before me! I don’t wish to see him making any contact with Charlotte. He thinks that they are siblings, huh? Who does he think he is?” Then, he tidied his attire and left in a huff.

The words that Justin said right before he left echoed in Rachel’s ears, causing her to tighten her fists. She was well aware that the main reason he had her stay at the Burton Residence had never been to take care of Charlotte—something must have raised his suspicion.

“What? He asked you to stay there?” When Jolly returned to the hall and heard the news, she instantly stomped her foot in anger. “How could he do this? Isn’t this no different from sending you to a lion’s den? You will be staying under the same roof as that man; what if he does something to you?”

Upon hearing that, Rachel shook her head. “That isn’t his motive. The reason he wants me to stay there is so that he can keep an eye on me.”

“Keep an eye on you? What do you mean?”

“He suspects something. He saw me when I entered Old Mr. Burton’s study, not to mention the incident about the safe at the Burton Residence. So, he must be trying to find out what I’m looking for and the reason I returned to the country.”

In order to conceal his real motive and to prevent alerting Rachel, Justin had asked her to stay at the Burton Residence using the excuse of taking care of Charlotte.

Jolly frowned in response. “If that’s the case, that’s all the more reason for you not to go there. Since the evidence is not there, there isn’t a need for you to even go over.”
