My Mute Bride

Chapter 284 The Funeral

“I’ll say this once—Hernandez and I are innocent. As for you, have you forgotten about Amber’s relationship with you? Or me for that matter? Have you forgotten that the smuggling case related to Hudson Pharmaceuticals is still under investigation?

I wouldn’t be able to imagine why else would you have to see her other than because you’re still in love with her.” As soon as Justin heard that, he was at a loss for words. “Rachel, I—”

“Don’t touch me!” Rachel pushed his hand aside once again and left by slamming the door after her. Just then, there was a sound of ignition that echoed over.

Instantly, Justin took a few steps forward to chase after her, but he suddenly stopped by the doorway and watched as her car disappeared at the junction of their estate. He tightened his grip on the door frame and there was a flash of frustration that crossed his eyes.

Why has things gotten to this state? But then I really can’t tolerate her being with another man, no matter who it is! Meanwhile, Rachel directly drove off and headed to Jolly’s house.

Jolly was, in fact, fast asleep when Rachel arrived. However, the former came out of the bedroom upon hearing the sound of the door opening, and she saw Rachel walk in with a furious look on her face.

Just then, Jolly rubbed her eyes and she even thought that she was seeing things. “I thought you said that you wouldn’t be picking them up today?”

“I want to stay with you for a couple of days.”

Rachel placed down her car keys. “I’ll go and take a shower first.”

After she had said that, she immediately headed off into the bathroom without even bothering to say another word.

The water gushed out from the showerhead and Rachel lifted her head to immerse her whole face under the spray. She then scrubbed furiously at her face. Not only that, she grabbed her toothbrush and brushed her teeth with all of her might. It was as if by doing so, she could then rid herself of that kiss from earlier.

She truly loathed Justin using such a rough manner to force himself on her just like he did earlier. Each time he did that, she would be reminded of the frightening marriage they had five to six years ago. His domineering and barbaric behavior was embedded deep in her mind.

After her shower, Rachel got out of the bathroom, only to find Jolly waiting for her.

With a thunk, Jolly opened a can of beer and lifted it in Rachel’s direction. “Let’s have a drink?”

Meanwhile, Rachel wrapped the towel she was using to dry her hair on her shoulders and she subsequently took the can of beer from Jolly. After downing half the can of the beer, she then sat down next to Jolly. At the same time, the television was on and there was a variety show playing, which was annoyingly noisy.
