The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 433

Rachel was taken aback by Jolly’s words. It had been hours since the incident. However, she hadn’t thought about anything other than finding out Jessica’s whereabouts to the point where she had neglected to find out more about Justin’s condition, especially now that he was in custody.

“I will do it.” Julian’s voice came from the side as he consoled them, saying, “A lot of things are going through Rae’s mind now. I don’t think she’s in the best condition to ask him for the details, so I’ll go instead.”

As Justin and Julian were cousins, having him as the visitor could save them much time in the visitation process. Meanwhile, in police custody, Justin was brought to a private room. There was only a table and two chairs in the room, which served as an interrogation room.

“Julian?” Justin stopped at the door when he saw the person in the room, but he regained his composure soon after. “What brings you here?”

“You looked disappointed.” Julian stared at him and stated the obvious, “You’re hoping it’s Rae instead, isn’t it?” A bitter laugh escaped from Justin’s mouth before he replied, “I wouldn’t want her to see me. in this state.”

“Take a seat. We only got fifteen minutes, and I have something to tell you.”

Justin’s fists tightened beside him as he walked over to sit down at the opposite table. Their eyes locked in the air across the table.

It was the first time they had a conversation face to face since Julian inherited the shares of Burton Group. It could be perceived that they were casually making a light conversation while ignoring the place. Julian was the one who spoke first. “Tell me what happened.”

“I want to see my attorney.”

“Why? Am I not trustworthy as your attorney?”

“It depends.” Julian’s expression darkened. “Your attorney. isn’t in Riverdale. He’s unable to make it here right now. If you need one, I will look for a defense attorney.” “Defense attorney?’ Justin stared at Julian intensely. “I haven’t confessed anything. Why are you assuming it will involve the court?”

Others might have had their doubts, but Justin didn’t do anything and insisted on his innocence. However, Julian was assuming and jumping to his own conclusion instead.

“Making a move on a minor? I take it you understand the seriousness of the matter. Justin, the protection from the Burton Family isn’t for you to do whatever you want. “I didn’t do anything.”

“You can say anything you want, but the police will need evidence.” Justin stared into Julian’s eyes for an answer, as Julian’s attitude was troubling. “Is it how you show your help?” “Of course. I’m here to help you. We’re cousins, after all, so I’ll help you as much as I can no matter what you do.”

Julian held onto Justin’s stare. “Once you are convicted, you shall seek political asylum in Montenegro. Forget about your past and start over with your new life there.”

“Montenegro?” “Only if you’re marrying Ginny. She can find a way to apply for political asylum for you, and you can leave Riverdale.” Justin’s jaw tightened. “You’re in touch with each other?” “She came to me as soon as she heard about your situation. This is also her suggestion. You see, she’s caring about you.”

“I appreciate her help. However, thanks but no thanks. I believe that I can prove my innocence.” “I suggest you reconsider it because it isn’t only about you. You’ll also need to consider the future of Burton Group.”
