My Mute Bride

Chapter 241 Setup

Rachel let go, causing the back of Amber’s head to slam against the wall. Amber wanted to let out an ear-piercing shriek but her voice was caught within her throat, and she stared wide-eyed at Rachel, feeling so terrified that she couldn’t make any sound.

“Let go of her.” The two men then let go of Amber, and she slid bonelessly down along the wall to the ground as she looked up in terror at Rachel.

The latter then squatted in front of Amber and raised a hand slightly, but Amber screamed and put her hands over her head.

“So scared?” Rachel scoffed coldly, holding a hand over the other woman’s head for a moment before dropping it to her shoulder and brushing away a fallen leaf. Slowly, she stood up again. “It’s good that you’re scared. I trust you’ll mind your own business from now on.”

Only after an insurmountable amount of time and when the alley had fallen silent did Amber lift her shaking head. After staring blankly into space for a while, she stood up and raced out of the alley, stumbling multiple times along the short distance.

Meanwhile in the office at the school, Victor was pouring Rachel a cup of tea. “Samuel’s gone off to gym class with his friends. Don’t worry; I’ll stay here in school. Nothing will happen to him.”

In reply, she inclined her head. “I feel better with you here. Plus, I don’t think Amber will be able to cause trouble for much longer.”

“I don’t think she’s the type to let things go easily.”

“Well, if Hudson Pharmaceuticals falls, what more can she do?”

“What do you mean?”

“While abroad, Jolly and I drafted an acquisition plan for Hudson Pharmaceuticals that has been approved by Carter Enterprise’s internal board of directors. When I’m done with my business on hand, the plan will be put in motion.”

“Doesn’t Hudson Pharmaceuticals still have the support of the Burton Group?”

“If Justin still supports them, I wouldn’t be able to do anything to Amber.”

In an instant, Victor understood. “Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ market reputation has been pretty shoddy these few years. Even Jefferey has handed the care of the company over to a general manager. The FDA has found multiple issues, and rumors on the Internet are that Amber doesn’t care much about the company and is focused solely on Burton Pharmaceuticals.”
