My Mute Bride

Chapter 237 Raised an Enemy

Suddenly, there was a cold glint that flashed out amid the loud cries of the crowd. Rachel instinctively took a step backward but she did not move fast enough. Suddenly, the pair of scissors came flying right at her.

She lifted her arm to block it but in the very next moment, she was forcefully pulled into a pair of arms and held in a tight, protective stance. Surprisingly, the pain that she had expected did not hit.

She heard a muffled grunt from the top of her head and the familiar voice that rang out caught her by surprise. She lifted her head, only to see Justin.

She wasn’t sure when he had appeared behind her and right now, he held her tightly in his arms with his back facing Jefferey.

Rachel stared at him incredulously and she couldn’t quite come to her senses for some time.

‘Clang!’ Suddenly, there was a loud clatter and the scissors fell to the ground behind them.

Meanwhile, Jefferey’s voice, which was full of anger and dismay, rang out, “Justin, why did you—”

“Are you alright?” Justin asked instead, his thoughts only on the woman in his arms.

It was at that point that Rachel finally came to her senses. “I’m fine. How about you?”

However, Justin grabbed her hand and stopped her from examining his wound.

“Where are the security guards?” He turned around and exclaimed coldly, “Hurry up and get this lunatic out of the place!”

“Me?! A lunatic?! I’m Rachel’s dad! Justin, even if you don’t marry Amber and choose Rachel instead, that doesn’t change the fact that I’ll be your father-in-law! How dare you lay your hands on me?!”

“I’ve never seen any father like you who would lay hands on their daughter. I’m already being lenient for Rae’s sake by not calling the cops on you!”

Meanwhile, the security guard kept a tight hold on Jefferey, but the latter went on a crazy tirade. “How dare you touch me? Justin, you’re such a beast! My darling Amber spent five years of her life with you and ended up with nothing! That’s five long years and this is how you treat her?”

“Rachel Hudson, I should have just let you die in that fire twenty-five years ago!”
