My Mute Bride

Chapter 397 Treat a Good Friend as Back-up

Before Justin finished his call, he turned and saw Rachel standing at the door, which startled him. “We’ll talk later. I have something else to attend to.”

He hung up the phone and joyfully took a few steps toward Rachel. “Didn’t you go to see the lights? Why are you back so soon?” “If I didn’t come back so soon, I wouldn’t hear your phone call. Who was that? Manager Hoult or Manager Thompson?”

Justin was slightly taken aback. “What’s the matter?”

“I just randomly said it before, but I never thought that it would be true. So now, it seems like the departure of Burton Group’s executives is really related to you?”

“You’ve misunderstood. You’re right. Manager Hoult called me, but that’s because…”

“Because of what? Because the new company wants to retaliate against Julian and bid against Burton Group, so he consulted with you, the person who’s most familiar with Burton Group. Are you helping those people deal with Julian?”

Rachel couldn’t understand. “Even if you don’t acknowledge him as a younger brother, Julian can still be regarded as your cousin no matter what! He never caused you harm, so why are you doing this behind his back?”

“Rachel, I really didn’t do anything.”

Justin raised his hands. “I swear. I didn’t know anything about their departure in advance.”

“You swear? What do you swear by?”

“How about this? I swear by Charlotte. If I arranged all of this in advance, then I will never see Charlotte again.”

Justin appeared truthful.

If this were in the past, he wouldn’t be willing to explain himself to clear such a senseless misunderstanding, but now, it was different. He didn’t want to cut off Rachel’s only remaining tolerance for him because of any misunderstanding.

She was surprised by his declaration.

She knew what Charlotte meant to Justin. Besides the Burton Family, Charlotte was all he had.

“You really didn’t arrange the mass resignation of Burton Group executives?”

“I really didn’t.”

Rachel gradually calmed down, “Well, I’m sorry.”
