My Mute Bride Chapter 279

Chapter 279 Exposed

The rain gradually grew heavier. Meanwhile, in his office at the Burton Group, Justin flipped through a ledger.

Since Janice came by a few days ago, he requested someone to retrieve those ledgers so he could personally compare them. After analyzing them by himself, the numbers matched up with what Janice had said. “Frankie.”

“You called for me, Mr. Burton?” “Please retrieve the contracts for these items for me.”

Frankie took over the ledger and replied, “These are contracts for purchase orders, and they are all from the end of last year. Is there something wrong with them?”

“You won’t be able to find any problems just by scouring the ledger. If the purchased materials are in the warehouse, then things should be fine. And if they aren’t—well, that’s going to be a huge problem.”

“I’ll find those contracts as soon as possible.”

“Thank you.”

As he spoke, a ding came from Justin’s computer, notifying him that he had a new email. It was an anonymous one, containing only a picture. Justin initially thought that it was spam. However, just as he was about to delete it, the picture suddenly enlarged itself. The picture showed a grave, highlighting the two women standing together under an umbrella. One of the women had hair that was past mid-length which was tied back and was dressed in a muted gray blazer and office skirt; the other was dressed in a crisp shirt and black pants. At first glance, she looked like a man.

Justin’s grip on his mouse tightened a little.

“I’m leaving to look for the contracts, Mr. Burton.”

Frankie’s voice brought Justin’s mind back to reality. Then, he abruptly stopped Frankie. “Hold on. Have Rachel and Janice known each other for a long time?”

Hearing that, Frankie went rigid.

The rain stopped later that evening. Rachel deliberately went out to pick up the two kids and also got the babysitter to go out and buy a nice, large fish for soup.

By the time Justin returned home, dinner was already on the table.

“You’re back, Mr. Burton,” the babysitter greeted, having emerged from the kitchen. “You may dig in after you have washed your hands.”
