My Mute Bride

Chapter 232 You Still Haven’t Officially Married Into the Burton Family

“Miss Hudson, are you okay?” “Have you gone blind, Frankie? Asking her whether she’s all right?” Amber was in disbelief. “She flung that lunchbox at me. Didn’t you see her do that?”

Frankie walked past Amber, looking as though he hadn’t heard the woman. “Don’t clean up anymore. You’re not hurt, are you? Mr. Burton asked for you to go inside.”

“It’s fine.” Rachel’s head was lowered. “Since the food’s all on the floor now, he can have the hospital’s food for lunch instead.”

“What is this act, Rachel?!” Amber was on the verge of an aneurysm from her anger. “Get up and explain yourself properly!”

With that, her hand moved toward Rachel. Just as she was about to make contact with her, Rachel gave a shout of surprise and crashed onto the floor, butt-first.

“You!” Amber’s expression was unbelievably ugly as she stared at her own hand, still held aloft in the air.

She hadn’t even touched Rachel.

“Stop right there!” called a cold voice from behind. Justin had appeared behind her at some point and gripped Amber’s hand. Meanwhile, his face was stormy.

“Justin!” Amber’s expression shifted. “It’s not what you think it is. I didn’t touch her at all, and she fell by herself.”

“I saw it all clear as day—you pushed Miss Hudson,” Frankie said with certainty as he eyed Amber.

Amber was so furious that she nearly got tongue-tied. “You’re spewing nonsense! You’re in league with that mute. You came just at the right moment, Justin. You have to fire Frankie today. He can’t tell fantasy from reality anymore. Does he not have eyes? He even sided with that woman and framed it on me!”

“Has he framed you? What did Frankie accuse you of?”

By then, Frankie had helped Rachel up. Although Rachel had gotten some of the food on herself, her expression was calm. On the contrary, it made others pity her even more. “Mr. Burton, Frankie didn’t do anything wrong here. I really shouldn’t have come over every day to waste everyone’s time.”
