My Mute Bride

Chapter 246 The ‘Surprise’ on Valentine’s Day

“It was around half an hour ago. Chris received a phone call right after the meeting ended and she left after that.” “Do you know who the caller was?”

“Umm…” Lisa shook her head. How would I know? Upon seeing Justin’s expression, Frankie quickly consoled, “President Burton, don’t be anxious. The news was just reported, so maybe Miss Hudson saw the news and quickly went home to resolve the matter.”

“You’re saying that she went back to the Hudson Residence?” “That’s not impossible, is it? Even though Miss Hudson is not close to her father, he is still her father after all. If she knows of such a big incident happening to the Hudson Family, I’m sure she won’t turn a blind eye to it.”

The timing had matched as well—they had just left the company half an hour ago. Not long after that, they heard the news on the radio. It was highly probable that Rachel had received a call from her family.

“Where are you going, President Burton?”

“The Hudson Residence.”

After leaving three short words with Frankie, Justin left the office in large strides. Frankie had no choice but quickly match Justin’s footsteps with a huge bouquet of flowers in his hands.

‘Hudson Pharmaceuticals is suspected to be involved in the smuggling of drugs and having close contact with the military abroad. As the police already have concrete evidence of this incident, they have detained the man who controlled the company, Jefferey Hudson, for further investigation.’

The news of Hudson Pharmaceuticals being involved in a case of drug smuggling quickly spread like wildfire and was reported by all of the major news outlets. Because of that, Hudson Pharmaceuticals immediately stopped all their operations, which caused their stock prices to plummet.

While holding a black umbrella, Rachel stood at the gate of the Hudson Residence—a place where she had lived for two decades. At this moment, it was both a familiar and a strange area for her.

Jefferey was in handcuffs as he had already been detained by the police and at this moment, he was being brought out of the mansion by them. He acted as though she was his lifesaver the moment he saw her. After quickly shoving the police aside, he rushed to her. While they were under the heavy rain, he grabbed her arms and said, “Rae, you have finally returned. Please save me—ask the Burton Family to save me. At this moment, they are the only ones who are able to save me.”
