The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 549

Julian stared hard at the tea set.

Justin had left long ago, leaving only the two cups of tea that neither of them had drunk.

But Julian couldn’t get Justin’s words out of his head. “Rae is my limit”.

His fists remained clenched. Julian used to hate Justin for not saying what he truly meant or expressing his true feelings to those around him. No one could guess his mind.

However, Julian now hated Justin’s completely different attitude. Julian despised the man’s obvious affection, desperate for everyone to know how much Justin adored Rachel.

How can he so blatantly hurt or love whomever and whenever he pleased?

Given his attitude, all Julian’s previous efforts and compromises seemed like a joke now.

“President Peters.”

Julian was snapped back into reality by his assistant’s voice. He took a look at his watch and said, “It’s time, right? Let’s go.”

He had a dinner appointment tonight to discuss a major project.

His assistant, however, responded, “The dinner is canceled, President Peters. President Jones said that he has something urgent to attend to and will not be able to attend the dinner.”

“Something urgent? How about the contract?”

“The contract…”

Noticing that his assistant was hesitant to continue, Julian instructed firmly, “Just say it.”

The assistant then shuddered and said, “They’ve signed a contract with the northern division just half an hour ago.”

Julian’s expression dimmed the second he heard that.

Is this Justin’s warning?

The next day, Justin went to Rachel’s house early in the morning.

He pressed the doorbell, but the man who answered the door appeared to be a bodyguard.

“Who are you? Why are you in Rae’s house?”

A figure sat up on the sofa as soon as he finished his words. “It’s so noisy!”

After yelling, the lady yawned, her eyes bleary.

“Why are you here so early in the morning?” she asked the moment she saw Justin.

Justin was taken aback. He had no idea who this lady was, but after recalling Lionel’s words from the day before, he was able to connect the dots.

“You’re Regina?”

“It’s none of your business.”

Regina did not like Justin at all. She believed that he was the primary reason Rachel refused to leave Riverdale with them.

This young lady in front of Justin appeared young, and she had a sweet-looking mixed-race appearance. However, her gaze was cold, and she looked at people with a condescending attitude, which contrasted sharply with how Rachel was. It was difficult to believe they were sisters at all.

But that didn’t bother Justin. “I’m here to look for Rae.”

And he went straight into the house after his words.

“Stop him!”

Regina jumped from the sofa and yelled, “Don’t let him in!”

Hearing that, two bodyguards immediately blocked his path with their elbows.

Justin frowned and his gaze turned thunderous in response. The two bodyguards trembled a little when they saw his grim expression, but in light of Regina’s instruction, they could only continue blocking his path helplessly.

“Do you think they’ll be able to stop me if I insist on seeing your sister?”

“Stop being so arrogant. My sister does not want to see you at all.”

“I’ve something important for her. Stop fooling around.”

“I’m not fooling around! Are you treating me like a child?” Regina spoke back, her tone scornful. “My sister is going back to Yatruinia with me. If you continue pestering her, I’ll ask them to kick you out.”

Justin did not respond to that. Instead, he stared silently at Rachel’s room door, as if deep in thought.

Rachel normally had light sleep. After all the commotion outside, she would have awoken by now.

Furthermore, the time had passed far past her normal waking hours.

That worried him. “Were you here the entire night?”

“Of course.”

“Rae did not leave?”

“Of course not!”
