The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 442

Rachel was setting up the dining table after cooking, and she shouted in the direction of the living room, “Stop playing! Come and eat.” At this moment, Jolly’s eyes were reddened in disbelief. “This doesn’t make sense at all! It’s impossible! You two are definitely cheating!”

Victor rolled his eyes at her and said, “Don’t blatantly accuse people when you can’t afford to lose. We’re just playing poker as usual, and I didn’t do anything. Not everyone will cheat like you.”

“You’re saying that you’re just playing poker as usual when both of you keep winning? I’ve lost more than ten thousand, you know!”

Jolly’s parents had brought her to casinos since she was young, so she had picked up the habit of gambling a little. She was just messing around with them when she cheated earlier. In fact, her skills and luck were always on the good side. Although she had lost a few million within a night before, their bets here were quite small for Victor’s sake. If this was in the casino, she had already lost ten million.

Anyhow, she just couldn’t accept this fact. “This is impossible.” “There’s nothing impossible on the table.” As soon as Jolly heard that, she frowned and started studying Leroy. “Why do I feel like: something is up with you?”

He was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt quilty. “What is up with me?” Then, she went near to his face and said, “Tell me. Did you look at my cards?”

When he heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Do you think I need to look at your cards? I can already guess what you have in hand.”

“Whatever. You looked at my cards!” As she said that, she jumped on him, forcing him to admit it. Meanwhile, Victor was busy opposite them as he received the transactions. He reminded Jolly, “You owe me one thousand and two hundred for this round, Jolly. Don’t forget it.”

“Do you guys still want to eat or not?” From the dining room, Rachel shouted again, “I’m not going to treat you guys well anymore if you: don’t stop!”

“Coming!” Jolly behaved herself instantly. “Let me wash my hands first.” When Victor noticed the feast on the table, he couldn’t help praising Justin despite disliking him all this while. “Wow! It’s such a waste not to open a restaurant with such cooking skills.”

“It’d be a waste if he did.” Following the topic, Rachel asked Justin, “The Riverdale Charity Foundation has already started calling me, saying that they’ll be doing the election polling within Riverdale. Do you want to give it a second thought? If you run for the election, the vice president’s place would definitely be yours.”

In fact, many people hoped that Justin could take the vice president’s place within the charity foundation again since the reputation of the foundation’s partner companies had been extremely good throughout his term. Not only that, the socially vulnerable groups that garnered attention were getting the most reliable protection and the charity businesses were becoming more influential. This was a win-win situation for society and the companies.

Also, the partner companies still felt guilty for misunderstanding Justin regarding Jessica’s matter. No matter if it was the foundation’s partner companies or the public, all of them. hoped that Justin would take up the position. once more.

While putting food on Charlotte’s and Samuel’s plates, he said calmly, “I thought you were going to talk about Victor and Gloria.”

“What about them? Jolly’s words made Justin successfully change the topic. The matter about the charity foundation was put aside. again and Rachel could only swallow the advice that she was going to give him.

Meanwhile, Charlotte answered Jolly excitedly. “Mr. Wade is going to propose to Aunt Gloria!” “Really? Are you finally enlightened, Victor?” Jolly looked at Victor in surprise.

Hearing that, he scratched his head and said, “Gloria’s only coming back to Riverdale at the end of the year after she finishes her tour, though. There are still a few months left. Isn’t it too early to talk about the proposal?”
