My Mute Bride

Chapter 350 She Saved His Sister’s Life Three Years Ago

The phone call never got through. Clutching her cell phone, Jolly started to worry for Rachel’s safety. This is bad. I gotta go to Jublen as well.

Just as she was about to leave, her cell phone suddenly beeped, and a text message from a virtual number popped up on the screen. The short message only had two words. It read, ‘She’s fine.’

Seeing the text message, Jolly was startled for a moment.

A white arc streaked across the sky above the airport in Jublen as the plane touched down amid the roar of its engine.

It was already late at night, but the small two-story building on a hillside estate was being heavily guarded. Those patrolling the entrance were dressed in plain clothes, but they were all armed with guns and walkie-talkies.

“You moron!”

A loud slap landed on Lila’s cheek, causing her head to tilt sideways with blood trickling out of the corner of her mouth. Even so, she didn’t make a sound.

Dillon, who was sitting in his wheelchair by her side, frowned. “Lila isn’t to blame for this, sis.”

It was a woman who had slapped Lila. Dressed in black leather, the tall woman looked cold and beautiful and yet gloomy with her short hair and red lips. “She’s not to blame, of course. She’s only in charge of your safety, while getting the business done is part of your duty.” Sabrina Porter darted a cold look at Dillon, making him shudder with the oppressive look in her eyes. “But could I hit you instead of hitting her?”

Dillon braced himself and explained, “The stuff had been shipped to the dock, and everything went well along the way. No one thought that Interpol would turn up! Clearly, we didn’t get the news in time.”

“Still making excuses, huh?”

“Young Master Porter.” Lila put her hand on Dillon’s shoulder in time to stop him from continuing to argue with Sabrina. “Miss Sabrina, it was indeed my fault for being unable to stop Young Master Porter, causing the 100,000 tons of goods to be confiscated and the hard work you’d put in over the past year to come to naught. I’m sorry for my lack of forethought.”

“Hmph.” Sabrina let out a sneer. “Lack of forethought, huh? I’m curious about how you egged Dillon on to have your goods put on my ship.”
