The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 574

Rachel went out alone and drove to a suburban cemetery.

Jolly was actually worried about Rachel going out on her own, but it was better to have fewer people involved in what Rachel was doing. She knew very well that it would only make things difficult if she insisted on following.

When Rachel arrived at the cemetery, Janice was already there waiting for her for quite some time.

The cemetery was probably the quietest place in Riverdale. It was always silent, no matter whether day or night. Other than the groups of people coming here during All Souls Day to honor the departed, not even a shadow could be seen here during ordinary days.

In fact, since Rachel’s spy identity was already exposed and ‘S’ was coming after her, it was actually unnecessary to meet at such a secluded place. Yet, Janice asked to meet here, and Rachel felt that it was natural to meet here too since Hans was buried here; the reason for her accepting the spy mission was buried here.

“Janice.”

“Oh, you’re here.” Janice turned around and smiled at Rachel. Behind her was Hans’ tomb, with a small bouquet of fresh daisies on top of it.

Seeing that, Rachel asked, “You bought flowers? Today’s not any special day, though.”

With a faint smile, Janice answered, “I didn’t buy it. I just picked them up by the road. Since there are no flowers in the cemetery other than the evergreen trees, I wanted to bring him some flowers to let him know that winter has passed.”

“Right. It’s already spring,” Rachel said melancholically. Then, she looked at Janice and wore a smile. “You weren’t this sentimental previously. Why are you acting so differently today?”

“Does this count as sentimental?”

“Does it not?”

“If you say it is, it is then.” Janice always had a straightforward personality, so she didn’t mind details like these. “Mr. Egerton called me two days ago, telling me Jessica is doing well in school. She even applied to volunteer during the holidays.”

“She has grown up already, slowly maturing.”

“Mr. Egerton also asked me to thank you.”

Rachel was stunned when she heard that. Since Hans’ death, she was ashamed to face anyone from the Egerton Family. This was also probably the reason why the Egertons didn’t contact her for such a long time. Even when Jessica landed into trouble in Riverdale, Hans’ father looked for Janice right away.

“What for? I didn’t do anything.”

“Thank you for getting things off Jessica’s chest. Only the one who caused the trouble could fix it. If it wasn’t for you, Jessica wouldn’t have given up on finding her foe. She would’ve lived with the grudge and wouldn’t have enjoyed her life.”

“That’s the least I could do.” Rachel was still feeling the guilt for Hans’ death.

Janice patted her shoulder and told her, “Don’t overthink it. Hans would want you to live a good life too. You should move on.”

“By the way, let’s talk business. I asked you here to show you something.” She then took out an envelope from the pocket of her coat. The opening of the envelope was folded, but it was not sealed. She gave it to Rachel right away.

After accepting the envelope, Rachel opened it and took out a stack of photos from it. “What are these?”

“Have you seen this woman before?”

Startled, Rachel looked closely at the person in the photos. The woman in the photos was wearing a traditional women’s suit. She had short hair and handsome features, but she didn’t give off a righteous aura like Janice. Instead, there was something sinister about her.

“She looks quite familiar, but I don’t think I’ve seen her before.” Rachel’s tone was hesitant.

If she had seen the woman before, it was impossible for her to forget the woman. Her face was quite outstanding, and her aura was extraordinary too, so she believed she might not have seen her. However, her features, especially her eyes, looked very familiar, but she couldn’t tell where she had seen those eyes before.

“Who’s this?”

“The secretary of Yatruinia’s Department of Commerce. She has some connections with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although she’s under a non-governmental commerce chamber, she has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ support from the back, so she has a close connection with the royalty.”

“Yatruinia?” This little country appeared too many times in Rachel’s life, forcing her to pay attention to it. Since Janice mentioned it, it should be something really important.
