My Mute Bride

Chapter 309 Underhanded Tactics

Meanwhile, Edison seemed blissfully oblivious to one’s mood. The anger on Jolly’s face was rather evident, yet he continued to fuel the flames.

Then, Rachel had managed to stop Jolly in time before sternly reprimanding him, “You must be Mr. Rivers. Based on the words that you just said, I can sue you for libel, you know.”

“I’m Rachel and Samuel’s mom.” Rachel continued to stare at him with a composed look. “This is my business card. I’ve never met President Sutton before, so why did he send someone to follow my son out of nowhere? What are you guys trying to do?”

It was evident that Edison had already conducted the necessary investigation. “Miss Hudson, this is a matter between President Sutton and Miss Carter, so you better stay out of it. You haven’t even sorted out your affairs, right?”

“What has that got to do with you? Ryan Sutton thinks he can do whatever he wants, huh?”

An extremely mad Jolly roared, “Call him now! If he doesn’t show up today, you won’t be stepping foot out of this place!”

At that point, Edison shrank backward and pretended not to hear her as he maintained his silence.

“So, you’re not going to make the call, huh? I’ll do it, then!” After she had said that, she instantly dialed Ryan’s number.

“Hello? Ryan Sutton, you have twenty minutes to get to the Lily Avenue Police Station to pick up your personal assistant. If you’re even one minute late, I’ll make sure he remains in that holding cell for another month!”

Rachel frowned. Is Ryan Sutton even coming?

Meanwhile, Gloria was someone who was fond of excitement and tugged on Rachel’s hand before continuously asking, “What’s going on? I heard that Ryan Sutton is extremely handsome. He founded Majestic Corp and single-handedly developed it. He was once married, but has already divorced from his wife. That makes him the most popular bachelor in Riverdale right now. Is he romantically involved with Jolly? Don’t tell me that he had a divorce because of Jolly?”

“Stop saying all that nonsense.” Rachel frowned again. “Ryan Sutton filed for divorce three years ago. At that point, Jolly and I were still abroad and not even in town, so that had nothing to do with her.”

“Then, is he actually Samuel’s biological father?”

“Gloria.” The frown on Rachel’s face deepened even further. “Just ignore whatever that man said from before and don’t let Samuel know about it.”

Rachel and Jolly had made a lot of effort all these years to keep Samuel’s identity a secret, so Rachel didn’t want their efforts to go down the drain.

Gloria had in fact always found it strange that Rachel had skipped town immediately after giving birth to Charlotte back then. Meanwhile, Samuel was only a couple of months older than Charlotte, so there was no way he could be Rachel’s son.

It was something that Gloria had wanted to ask Rachel about for the longest time.
