My Mute Bride

Chapter 268 His Purpose

“Grandpa, if you have nothing else, I’ll be leaving first.”

“Wait a minute.” Arthur placed a document on the table. “I need you to reply to the overseas branch regarding the market expansion plan.”

“Just let Frankie handle the integration.”

“Jean is the legal officer there.”

Justin frowned and took the document after a moment. “I see. I’ll send a message back there when I have time.”

As he watched Justin leave with the document, Arthur’s expression became more complicated.

At that moment, Dennis hurriedly rushed in from the outside. “Old Mr. Burton, this…”

The skinny man on the ground had fainted at some point. His face was a cruel sight to see—it was bruised and was even stamped with a footprint. Justin had always been ruthless, and no one in the Burton Family could compare to him in this department.

Arthur cast him a sweeping glance as he ordered, “Call Jason back.”

“Now?”

“Immediately.”

“Understood.” Dennis didn’t dare to tarry, so he immediately contacted Jason. He was eavesdropping by the door earlier. If Jason really sent someone to hurt Justin, he would definitely not be able to get through Arthur.

“Master Jason, Old Mr. Burton wants you to return here.”

“I’m not in Riverdale today. Let’s talk about it another day.”

As the phone was on speakerphone, Arthur could hear everything. His expression darkened as he immediately roared at the phone, “You aren’t in Riverdale? Where are you?”
