The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 437

Rachel felt much more relaxed after hanging up the call. Hans was a sunny and gentle guy, so his beloved sister naturally wouldn’t be wicked. She was just led down the wrong path. Everybody made mistakes; the most important thing was to do something about it.

At that, Julian came to Rachel’s mind, and her eyes narrowed. The investigation bureau promptly released at statement announcing Justin’s innocence and the case’s reinvestigation.

But even so, public opinion still didn’t alleviate it, as everyone only wanted to believe in what they believed. ‘That’s what money and capital get you. He sure has a strong backer.” This is definitely a government and business collusion. Poor girl.” ‘But I heard he’s been kicked out of Burton Group’

‘Please, that’s only for show.” And many more shared similar opinions. Rachel had thought things wouldn’t move in the direction Justin had predicted. But who’d have thought just after two days, Julian was released unscathed while Stefan became the scapegoat and bagged all the charges? The entire time, neither the news nor public opinion mentioned Julian, the true prosecutor behind the scenes.

“Julian won’t answer my calls. His assistant said he’s in a meeting. A meeting that lasts for a whole day? As if anyone would believe it! I’m now starting to believe all that you said is true, Chris.”

Inside the Carter Residence’s living room, Jolly put her phone down and slumped onto the couch. “Why is he doing this? I mean, you’ve already agreed to date him. Is it necessary for him to do all this and destroy Justin?”

“I don’t know.’ Rachel couldn’t give her an answer either. Sitting on the side, Richard was reading the newspaper, and he took a gander at the two young ladies. “What’s so baffling about it? Not everyone has the will to resist the temptation of power and money, what more when he obtained the entire Burton Group overnight. It’s normal for someone to get complacent when everyone starts sucking up to them.”

Owning Burton Group meant having absolute discourse. Who in the entire Riverdale wouldn’t want to kiss Julian’s a*s? “Well, be complacent all he wants, but why does he have to destroy Justin?” Jolly was still baffled.

“Own it once, and you’ll be afraid of losing it. I won’t be surprised that many of Burton Group’s founding members still support Justin.” Richard flipped his newspaper to the next page, speaking confidently of the ever-changing situation in the business world. “This is the threat Julian senses.”

Only when Justin disappeared from Riverdale for good could Julian be Burton Group’s number one shareholder with peace of mind. The whole time, he hadn’t planned on destroying Justin just to get Rachel or any similar reason for the fact. The proportion of this reason compared to the man’s ambition. was far less significant.

“He’s not the Julian Peters you guys know anymore. Better watch your backs, cautioned Richard after taking a gander at the two young ladies.

Jolly frowned upon hearing so. “He can’t actually turn into a monster, can he? Anyhow, I’m going to ask him what exactly is up with him. If it’s really his doing, then he has to admit his mistakes and apologize. Am I right, or am I right, Chris?”

“Westhill Racecourse has a grand opening tomorrow. Julian will probably show up, said Rachel thoughtfully. ‘Burton Group should be on the guest list,” Richard added Jolly instantly decided. “We have to go!”

“We should.” Rachel nodded in agreement. No matter what others said and what she dug up, she still wanted to hear the truth from Julian. Also, she had something to return to him. As predicted, Rachel found Julian during Westhill Racecourse’s grand opening.

He was dressed in a light gray tailored suit with gold-framed glasses, talking away with other businessmen, no sign of ever being detained.

“It’s been a while, President Hudson.” Someone beside Julian greeted Rachel enthusiastically upon seeing her. “I was just asking President Peters. I heard a celebration is on its way. You have to invite us to your wedding reception.”
