The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 548

“I don’t know much about the past either. However, from what I understand, Dad has his own reasons. Furthermore, despite the passage of time, he has never forgotten your mother.”

Regina was so anxious to explain that she started scratching her head. “Go back with me and everything will be clear.”

“I’m not leaving with you.”

“Don’t you want to know why Dad didn’t return all these years?”

“No. I’m not interested,” Rachel replied firmly.

With her mother’s sufferings fresh in her mind, even speaking with Lionel felt like an insult to her mother.

“It’s late now; you should leave.”

She gestured with her hands, obviously attempting to send Regina off.

However, Regina was stubborn. “I’m not going to leave.”

She remained on the sofa, arms wrapped around herself as she continued, “Since you’re not leaving with me, I’ll follow you everywhere. I’m staying here tonight.”

“As you wish.” Rachel merely uttered these indifferent words and went straight back to her room.

She slammed her door shut with a bang, while Regina was looking displeased at the living room. After taking off her shoes, Regina laid down on the sofa and said to herself, “I’ll sleep here tonight.”

In the meantime, Justin intended to look for Rachel as soon as he left the hotel. However, he suddenly remembered something he needed to deal with.

“Frankie, it’s me.”

“Are you back, President Burton?” Frankie asked in a surprise tone when he heard Justin’s voice.

“Yes.”

“How about Mrs. Burton? Is she back? Are you both alright?”

“We’re all right. Apart from a few minor issues that caused some delay when we stepped off the plane, we’re fine.”

“I wanted to pick you both up from the hotel after dropping Miss Carter and the others off at the airport on the wedding day. But before I could get to the hotel, Mr. Keaton called and told me to return to Riverdale right away.”

Though it was not made clear in that phone call, Frankie did as he was told in light of Mr. Keaton’s assistance while they were in Enistan. Since then, he had been waiting worriedly for Justin and Rachel in Riverdale.

“It’s good to know that the both of you are fine, President Burton.”

Frankie had been feeling uneasy the entire time. “When I returned to Riverdale, I did some investigation and discovered that Julian had arrived in Enistan just minutes after us, but had returned to Riverdale not long after. He keeps his whereabouts very private.”

But regardless of how secretive Julian was, the Burton Group previously belonged to Justin. It wouldn’t take him long with the help of his inside informants to know where Julian was.

“Okay. Got it.”

Justin wasn’t surprised by what he heard. “Let’s go to the Burton Group, Frankie.”

Justin hadn’t dealt with Julian yet for forcibly taking him away after he got off the plane.

Meanwhile in the Burton Group, Robin had spent the entire day trying to find out where Justin and Rachel were but to no avail, let alone who that group of men was.

“You can’t even complete such a simple task?” Julian reprimanded, his face solemn.

Robin, who stood off to one side, was terrified. Just as he was about to say something, the assistant knocked on the door from the outside and said, “President Peters, President Burton is downstairs. He said he’s here to meet you.”

“What? Which President Burton?” Robin reflexively asked.

That startled the assistant. “Justin Burton.”

“I’m looking for him; good that he shows up!”

But Julian poured cold water on him. “What do you want to do?”

“I’ll send my men to apprehend him and bring him to you!”

“You should use your brain, Robin!”

Julian glared at him before continuing, “It is broad daylight now, and we’re at the Burton Group. Who do you want to apprehend?”

Julian then instructed his assistant, “Invite President Burton in.” Truth was, he never had high hopes on Robin’s brain.
