My Mute Bride

Chapter 388 Never Truly Even

The following afternoon, Rachel went to the Riverdale Penitentiary. However, the execution was over by the time she arrived. “A total of two prisoners were executed today. May I ask which one are you here to pick up?” “Jason Burton.”

After that, the person in charge glanced at the list in his hand and said, “Jason Burton has already been taken.” Rachel was slightly taken aback. “Who picked him up?

“His nephew. Look, here’s the signature.”

Rachel was startled again when she saw the signature on the list. Then, after a while, she regained her senses and said, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

When did Justin come back?

A month ago, Arthur’s funeral and memorial service were held on the same day. After both events ended, the law redistributed the internal equity of Burton Group according to Arthur’s will. As a result, Julian became the largest shareholder of the Burton Group in a genuine sense, serving as the vice president. In contrast, Justin left Riverdale to go abroad before the shareholders’ meeting. Before he left, he only went to see Gloria. At that time, Charlotte was still at Gloria’s place. He went to say goodbye to Charlotte, but he did not say when he would be back. He only told Charlotte to be good. In a blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Rachel closed the car door, put her hand on the steering wheel, and she hesitated for a long time. Then, finally, she turned on her phone and swiped to contacts. Her slender fingertips lingered on the name ‘Justin Burton’ for a while. Eventually, she swiped down and called Frankie instead.

“Hello? Assistant Beckham? It’s me, Rachel.”

“President Hudson? Is something the matter?”

“It’s not a big deal. It’s just that there was a contract with Burton Group before, and President Burton signed it. But, unfortunately, there’s a problem with the contract.”

“Which contract? Why don’t you send me the contract?”

“I can’t explain it briefly over the phone. I would rather communicate with him face to face when he comes back. Is he back?”

“President Burton? Yeah, he’s back. Didn’t he contact you?”

“Where is he now?”

Since Rachel asked hastily, Frankie, who was on the other end of the call, was stunned for a moment.

What’s this situation right now?

Autumn was approaching, and the continuous rain in Riverdale for several days brought chills. The cemetery looked more and more desolate.
