My Mute Bride

Chapter 255 Are You a Trustworthy Man Yourself?

As night fell, the streets of Riverdale were illuminated by neon lights. A black car traveled up the hill along the winding paths toward the summer villa of the Burton Family.

It was moments after Justin left the boxing gym when he received Arthur’s call. Frankie was driving as he said, “You refused to answer Old Mr. Burton’s call, so he contacted me. It seems like he’s really mad this time.”

Justin had taken the liberty to promote Rachel to the position of general manager of the Burton Pharmaceuticals; it was, in fact, an act that went against Arthur’s original intentions.

“So?” Justin curtly replied, his expression impassive. As a matter of fact, before he made the decision, he had foreseen that Arthur would never allow this to happen if Arthur had known about it. Therefore, he decided to take action without his grandfather’s knowledge.

Frankie seemed to have something to say, but he ended up swallowing his words. Nobody would be able to stop Justin from doing as he pleased since he was the boss.

Upon seeing the shallow lines between Justin’s brows, Frankie asked, “President Burton, how is your injury?”

“I’m fine.” Justin held his arm with his other hand, but soon released his grip. If it weren’t for my injury, the match would’ve ended way earlier.

The vehicle arrived at the summer villa, which seemed especially tranquil and serene under the night sky. As soon as he alighted from the car, he saw a black vehicle driving away from the villa. When it drove past him, he noticed a freezing glare aimed at him from the car window that had yet to be rolled up.

The Burtons’ butler, who had been standing at the door, immediately stepped forward to welcome Justin. “Young Master Justin.”

Justin returned to his senses. “Did Jason just leave?”

“Yes.”

“That’s something new. I seldom see him returning in all these years. What brought him here today?”

“It’s nothing important. He was back to visit Old Mr. Burton.” It was obvious from Dennis’ response that he did not wish to elaborate on the topic. “Young Master Justin, let’s head inside. Old Mr. Burton is waiting for you.”
