The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 534

“Come in!” Dillon answered impatiently.

One of his men walked into the room. The man whispered something to Dillon, and Dillon’s eyes shone before he steered his focus to Rachel. “It’s not hard to prove your innocence, though. Perhaps the people around you will know the truth, especially your… significant other.”

He even emphasized the term “significant other” as he watched her.

He wondered why her face was pale. Is it because of the hot water or what I’ve told her?

“Bring him in.”

As Dillon finished his words, two of his men escorted another man into the room.

However, it was more like they followed the man than escorted him, as Justin’s aura was overwhelming. The men behind them looked like Justin’s bodyguards instead.

“Rae.” It was only upon seeing Rachel that Justin felt slightly relieved.

On the contrary, Rachel was panicked to see him. “What are you doing here?!”

Dillon interrupted Justin just as the latter was about to answer, “He’s here to save the damsel in distress, what else? No man can stand still when he finds that his beloved woman needs saving.”

The topic shifted as Dillon remarked, “By the way, you’re the first man who dares to rescue a person from me.”

Justin only replied with a neutral face, “What do you want?”

“Good question. I would like to find out the answer too. However, it depends on what she did.”

“What do you mean?”

“You don’t know yet, do you?” Dillon sneered as he turned his focus back to Rachel. With a cold look, he pointed his finger at her. “No one dares take me as a fool like her.”

“I’ll settle it if it’s about business.” Justin stated firmly. Although he did not say that in a loud voice, that sentence reverberated throughout the room.

Much to his surprise, Rachel yelled at him. “It has nothing to do with you! Why are you here, though?”

“Rae!”

“Justin, stop meddling in others’ business. Who do you take yourself as? You have no right to meddle in my business even if you’re the president of the Burton Group. Moreover, you aren’t anymore. I’d already be ignoring you if it isn’t for Charlotte’s sake.”

Rachel spoke the harsh words promptly, leaving Justin with no room for discussion. Her words hurt him badly. He was taken aback by them and took time to restrain himself from showing it.

Justin didn’t know whether she was being honest or not. Even if Rachel was lying, he couldn’t distinguish which part of her outburst was true and which one was a falsehood.

“How interesting.” Dillon studied the two before him and applauded. “What a show! What is this drama about? Are you trying to gain my sympathy?”

He then turned to Rachel. “You can’t fool me with your poor attempt to act. I bet your words don’t work on him too because you can’t even convince me.”

Her expression sank when she heard that. “Believe it or not, I’m not acting. Keep your opinion to yourself because you don’t know what happened between him and I. Do you know he ruined my life?”

“Is that so? Tell me more. I’m interested.”
