The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 459

“Are you serious?” Rachel was surprised. “Last time, I remember you saying that we need to stick together when it comes to issues with your relationship. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be friends with me anymore.”

When she met Jolly overseas, the latter had talked to her about this seriously. No matter what kind of choices they faced in the future, they had to stick together if it was related to their friendship. Otherwise, Jolly would fall out with her for sure. But now, Jolly was asking her to attend the dinner that Ryan had pulled some strings for when she was on bad terms with him.

“I’m not who I used to be anymore.” Jolly put on a proud look. “When I was just idling through life back then, I thought that how could all these men have a better life than me? How could he get over the relationship so quickly and start all over again? I hated him so much at that time that I wanted to kill him and feed his corpse to dogs.”

“But after that, I got over it myself too. Do you know that I rarely think about him anymore? I’m not saying that I’ve moved on completely since I was really devastated for those few years, but I just feel that I’m having a good life now, so I don’t have to waste my time hating him. He’s nothing anyway!”

As she said that, she heaved a sigh of relief as though she had lifted the weight off her shoulders. “Simply put, you shouldn’t give up on this opportunity because of me. This is business, after all. More importantly, do you think that people like Ryan will give up on their own interests to help others? Wake up! He’s not a God who’ll benefit everybody, he’s just a human who never does things without purpose.”

After thinking for quite some time, Rachel nodded. She felt that what Jolly said was reasonable. If Ryan was doing this just for Jolly, he didn’t have to embarrass himself over and over again. It was just because he was too greedy and wanted everything. Jolly knew him too well, so that was why she was tired of him.

This would not be a simple dinner, and the collaboration with President Sanchez would not be easy either. Rachel pulled herself together. “In that case, I’ll go to the dinner tonight.”

“I’ll take you there and wait for you outside.” Jolly acted on what she said. She didn’t mind, but she was just worried about her safety.

At 7.00PM in the suite of the Nertonham Palace Hotel, Rachel had just gotten off the elevator. When she was about to send a text to Ryan, she saw him standing at the entrance of the suite. “Here.”

“Thank you, President Sutton. You didn’t have to come out to take me in.” “I should. After all, I’m the one who pulled the strings and whatnot. You’re also the only lady here tonight, President Hudson. Naturally, I should look after you.”

When she heard that, Rachel gave him a glimpse and said indifferently, “From what I remember, you didn’t treat me like this previously, President Sutton.”

When she was investigating the case earlier, Ryan was always mean mugging her since he felt that she was taking risks with Jolly.

“I’ll have three glasses of wine later as a penalty to apologize for those unhappy episodes previously.” “It’s fine. If you can make this deal a success, I should be toasting you instead.”

When the waiter opened the suite’s door, Ryan gestured for her to enter first and introduced her to everyone in the suite. “Let me make the introductions. This is Hudson Pharmaceuticals” President Hudson.”

There was a big round table in the suite, and everyone inside was a member of the Chamber of Commerce. They treated Rachel with courtesy when they saw her. “Seeing for myself is better than hearing from others. Indeed, she’s a beautiful lady.”

“Not only is she beautiful, but she must also be extremely talented as well to carry the whole Hudson Pharmaceuticals on her shoulders. She’s even better than most of the men out there.”

After making small talk, Rachel finally sat down when Ryan gave her the signal. “This is President Sanchez of Star Medical.” The man seated on his right was around forty years old and was a little chubby, giving people the impression that he was simple and honest. After he shook hands with Rachel, he let go of her hand right after. “Owen Sanchez.”
