My Mute Bride

Chapter 236 She Would Never Give In

After silence had descended inside the car for a short while, Rachel gradually opened her eyes. From the corner of her eye, she saw that the man by her side was currently resting with his eyes shut. Hence, she turned her face to the side and glanced at the night scene outside the window. At that moment, there were flashes of red illuminated in her eyes.

Earlier on, when Justin had said all those words, she nearly fell for it and she nearly trusted that there wasn’t any hint of ugliness in their past. For a split second, she had thought that they would be able to start afresh in everything.

However, that was essentially impossible. One without their memories could proceed with life without any burden, but she was different. There was no way that she could trust the words of someone who had lost his memories, so she would not give in. She would finish off the things that had to be done as soon as possible and then leave Riverdale; thereafter, she would no longer step foot back here.

On the other end at the Burton Residence, Arthur remained in a fixed position in front of his desk for quite some time even after Justin and Rachel had left.

“Sir, have a sip of your tea. Why are you so concerned? I can see that Miss Hudson has a kind heart and I don’t think there’s going to be a problem if she gets together with Young Master.”

“You don’t get it. If it was Rachel from six years ago, then I would definitely choose to turn a blind eye. However, so many incidents happened back then and Justin nearly lost his life because of this woman. Hence, they must not enter into a relationship again.”

Arthur’s brows furrowed tightly as he continued, “I’m indeed quite surprised at how Rachel has turned out to be after all this while being away. After all, she was a mute and the least favored illegitimate daughter of the Hudson Family, but she managed to ascend to her current position in just five years. Furthermore, she also became the goddaughter of the Carter Family, so it’s quite obvious that she possesses a tenacity that’s unlike any ordinary person.”

“Doesn’t this indicate that she’s very outstanding?”

”Justin doesn’t need an outstanding partner by his side. He just needs someone who’ll do as she’s told and not create any trouble for him. You’ve seen his state when that incident happened back then, which is why Rachel must not be allowed to come back. Justin must not recall the past.”

”So what do you plan to do?”

”Get me that item.”

The butler was slightly stunned but he did as he was told and went to unlock the safe. Taking out a brown paper bag from it, he passed it to Arthur and murmured, “It’s been five years since the incident. Are you sure that you still want to bring this up?”

“Since Justin insists on calling off his engagement with Amber and there’s no stopping him, then we can make use of this to sever all ties with the Hudson Family. There’s really no point in keeping all of these items under lock and key.”

“I’ll compile everything and send it to Miss Hudson.”
