My Mute Bride

Chapter 264 Give You an Explanation

“Don’t worry, Rachel. I won’t let him off.” Despite hearing the resolute words on the other end of the line, Rachel felt a terrible dull ache in her heart. Over so many years, Janice had been devoting herself to clamping down on underworld gangs, but she was often met with all kinds of obstacles. There were not only external factors but also many on the inside that were shielding these gangs.

Arthur couldn’t possibly be the only person who contributed to Jason being cleared of suspicion in Nancy’s kidnapping back then, so it went without saying how many strings had been pulled for this.

Meanwhile, the night was falling, and Justin was waiting on the mountain path. Soon, his personal bodyguards arrived. “Young Master Justin.”

“Young Master Justin, this is…” The two bodyguards were Justin’s trusted men. In order not to affect the school’s activities, Justin had them stay far away from him when they came, saying that he would call them over if there was anything.

Justin kicked the half-dead henchman lying next to him. He said coldly, “Tie him up and put him in your car until I get back to Riverdale.”

The two bodyguards exchanged a brief look. “Yes, Young Master Justin.”

“Also, you two take turns to keep watch near the campsite tonight. Keep your guard up.”

“Yes, Young Master Justin.”

After giving the instructions, Justin went back to the campsite.

The bonfire activities had ended, and all the families returned to their respective tents to sleep and save their strength for the next day’s outdoor sports meet.

Rachel had just finished washing Charlotte’s face. After urging the two kids to get into the tent, she pulled down the tent’s gauze net from the outside and zipped the tent flaps shut.

Charlotte’s voice sounded from inside the tent. “Mommy, aren’t
