My Mute Bride

Chapter 235 End The Engagement With Amber

“I loathe it when others threaten me!” Arthur was incensed as he pointed at Rachel’s face and rebuked her by saying, “Do you think that you can walk out of this place unscathed today?”

“Since I even bothered to come all the way here, I’ve naturally made ample preparations. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I won’t be the only one going down—you’ll be affecting all the Burton Pharmaceuticals resources that I own too,” Rachel answered in a bland tone.

“You think that I’ll cower because of that? So what if the entire Burton Pharmaceuticals crumbles?”

“I have the Carters backing me as well. Are you sure you won’t bat an eye when they breathe down your neck?”

Arthur’s expression was stormy. He had nearly forgotten that Rachel was now the president of Carter Enterprise’s adopted daughter. Everyone knew just how much both the president and his wife adored her; in fact, they loved her no less than if she were their own flesh and blood.

“I think you should be able to see that I wouldn’t have returned to this country if it wasn’t for that incident with Hans. Since you want me to leave, the best way would, of course, be to hand me the evidence so I can get this over with. I’ll then glady leave without you needing to remind me about it.” Rachel stood up. “To me, Riverdale is just a place filled with pain. I am not attached to this city.” As she spoke, loud noises could be heard outside the study.

“Young Master, your grandfather is currently in discussion with his guest. You cannot go in.”

“What is he discussing that needs Rachel here? Rachel!”

Rachel’s brows furrowed, and a complicated look came over her face.

Arthur glanced at the locked door. “I can hand the evidence to you, but I need some time to do so. Until then, I hope that you will be able to behave yourself. You must not so much as breathe a word about the past,” he said in a low voice.

“That’s a given.”

Now that she had said those words, the both of them came to a tacit agreement. Rachel then opened the door.
