My Mute Bride

Chapter 356 Mistake Born of Drunkenness

The moment the girl yelled, the rabble immediately all turned around, their gazes landing squarely upon Rachel. That’s Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ CEO.”

“She even defended her subordinate and twisted the facts just now.” “Grab her and take her to the police.”

The baffling words kept pouring in. Rachel’s expression shifted. By the time she realized her gaffe, it was already too late. This mob of insane fans would not listen to any explanation as they surged toward Rachel in fury. She immediately took a few steps back, but the heel of her shoe got stuck in a crack in the ground. She gave a surprised yell as she toppled backward.

Justin’s arrival was timely, as he managed to catch her just in time.

Rachel was stunned. She could see Justin’s gaze the moment she looked up from his arms. Before she could respond, Justin pulled her behind himself, shielding her. He blocked the rest of the mob by himself as he rebuked them. “Who here dares to take another step forward?”

His full height of over six feet was especially noticeable among the crowd of girls. The chilliness emanating from his gaze was enough to make some of the girls shudder. However, they had the advantage of numbers, after all. A girl with an LED board in the center of the mob immediately answered angrily, “She was willing to defend her own assistant when that assistant was ensnaring male celebrities into casting couch deals. She’s ruining the name of the entertainment industry. Shouldn’t people like her be shunned and shamed? Who are you anyway? Why are you still protecting her? Are you in league with her?”

“Yeah, you must be working with her!”

Justin’s expression did not change when he was faced with the mob’s fury. “The details of the situation still aren’t clear yet. Even if it’s exactly as you said, does that give you any right to attack and hit others? Then what are the police and court for?” he asked coldly.

“Don’t think that we don’t know they have been colluding with Hudson Pharmaceuticals. You’ve already bribed them!”

“Girls, don’t be tricked by their words. None of these capitalist pigs are good people!”

“We want Hudson Pharmaceuticals to put out a statement!”

“Don’t you dare think of leaving without putting out that statement!”

“Hand Jolly Carter over!”

The mob’s rage grew intense by the second. The security could not stop these insane fans who were seeing red. The only thing Justin could do to ensure Rachel’s safety was to take her and run.

“They’re escaping!”

“Stop running!”
