My Mute Bride Chapter 213

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.
