The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 513

Expectedly, Estelle was infuriated after Jolly called her ‘Mrs. Sutton’.

It had been three years since she divorced Ryan, but she never gave up on the title. She always claimed to be a member of the Sutton Family to outsiders, and she still lived with Mariam in Sutton Manor following the divorce.

However, Jolly’s tone was full of disdain when she called her ‘Mrs. Sutton’. With a dark expression, Estelle snapped, “We don’t welcome you here, Jolly!”

“Jolly?” Freddie’s mother became startled for a moment as the name rang a bell. When she recalled who the person was, her expression changed. Indeed, it’s such a small world!

Jolly did not even frown. “If I’m not mistaken, Mrs. Sutton, it’s the birthday party of Charlotte’s schoolmate, Freddie. Freddie and his mom invited us, not you.”

“You’re in Dolton Residence. Do you think I don’t have the final say?”

Just when Jolly wanted to refute her, Rachel stopped the woman. “Forget it. Charlotte’s schoolmate is throwing a birthday party, so don’t make it ugly. Let’s go.”

Since the kids had entered the house, it was fine for the adults to talk in a rather hostile manner.

Rachel then said to Freddie’s mother, ‘We’re not going in. However, since the kids are here, it’ll be hard to explain to them if we leave all of a sudden. Let them play for a while. I’ll tell them that something happened and we have to leave. Is it alright for you, Mrs. Dolton?”

Freddie’s mother was visibly relieved. Just when she was about to agree to it, Estelle cut her off.

“Stop pretending to be a nice person. You’re Rachel, right?’ Estelle swept a glance over Rachel and Jolly before sneering. “Both of you snatched other women’s husbands and gave birth to their kids. That’s how you cling to those men. You’re just birds of a feather.”

“Mind your language!’ Jolly was most protective of her friends. She hadn’t planned on making a scene, but she didn’t expect Estelle to flare up and chastise Rachel as well.

“Am I not speaking the truth?” Estelle scoffed. “Everyone in Riverdale knows that you rely on the power of your family to cover up your dirty deeds.”

Just then, a loud slap was heard as Estelle’s face jerked to the side. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. “How dare you slap me!”

“Why wouldn’t I dare to?” Jolly’s gaze was dark as she spoke in a condescending tone. “Haven’t you been telling everyone that I rely on my family to oppress you? I’m doing it right now so that your lie will turn into truth. You should thank me for that.”

“You-

“Estelle, stop thinking that I have no idea what you’ve been doing behind my back for the past six months ever since I returned to Riverdale. I haven’t settled the score with you not because I’m foolish, nor am I afraid of you. I just can’t be bothered to deal with a sc*mbag like you.”

“Stop slandering me, Jolly!” Estelle was barking like a mad person as her sister-in-law pulled her back. The noise had attracted the attention of the people at the party, so they gathered around – them.

Samuel and Charlotte caught sight of it as well, and they quickly went over. Still, they had no idea what was going on. “Mommy.”

Rachel stuffed the car key into Samuel’s hands. “Bring Charlotte to the car first. We’ll be leaving soon.” Samuel took a glance at them and asked maturely, “Are you alright? Do you want me to call Mr. Victor and Aunt Gloria?”

“There’s no need for that. It’ll be over soon.”

After a nod, Samuel took Charlotte’s hand and brought her away. Upon seeing that, the star of the party and fair-looking young boy quickly ran after them.
