The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 598

“Are you alright? Are you hurt?” Justin helped Rachel up.

“Steven!” She was shocked to the core the moment she saw blood.

At that moment, Steven had gotten into a fight with the girl; instead of a fight, it was more appropriate to say that she was riding on top of him, which left him no openings to counter.

“Let go or I won’t hold my punches back!”

“How dare you!”

“You’re crazy!”

Rachel stepped forward to help him but was thwarted by Justin, who grabbed the girl’s hand afterward. “Stop it!”

It was obvious that the girl had learned martial arts, yet she could not free her hand out of his grasp. Thus, Steven seized the chance to shove her away and get up before hiding himself behind Justin.

Steven covered his face and shouted, “I’m calling the cops!”

“What? I should be the one doing that to report you, pervert!” She was about to charge toward him, but Justin quickly stood in between them.

“Are you guys trying to win against me with numbers? I’m not afraid! Wanna call the cops? I’ll call it for you. We’ll see whose side the police are on!”

“Hold on,” Rachel interrupted. “Let’s talk, girl. We don’t mean to harm you. Can’t you see that we’re just pulling the both of you apart?”

Looking at Rachel’s amiable face, the girl gave in before pointing at Steven. “This dumb*ss says that I’ve jumped the line, but I just left the line for a while. He kept picking on me by saying that I’m rude.”

“Steven, did you really say that?”

Steven was still covering his face. “She’s lying. Don’t listen to her nonsense. It is true that she cut the line.”

“Sorry, who? Why don’t you repeat that, huh?” The girl had her hair tied into a ponytail and was cladded in a green sweater. Whenever she jumped, her ponytail swayed, and she looked as fierce as a wolf.

Meanwhile, the ice cream truck owner could not bear the dispute anymore as he craned his neck out of the window. “I can vouch for the girl. She was in the line first while helping someone to look after their child. She’s just returned after sending the kid back to the parents.”

Finally, the truth had been revealed.

“Do you hear that loud and clear?” The girl placed her hands on her waist with a formidable aura.

Steven responded, “If everyone cuts the line after leaving the place for a moment, it’ll be a total mess.”

“You!”

“Okay, stop.” Rachel was worried that another fight would arise again. “Objectively speaking, both of you are neither right nor wrong. Steven, you shouldn’t blame someone else without getting to the bottom of it and make her ice cream fall off on purpose. Apologize to her.”

His unwillingness was written all over his face. Still, it would be petty of him to not apologize since she had put it that way. Thus, he offered his apology in a perfunctory manner. “Sorry.”

Rachel cast her gaze onto the girl. “I think violence isn’t right either, isn’t it?”

After all, she could not be too dour to a stranger, so she could only hope that the girl had a good upbringing.

The girl still remained firm with her attitude as she said, “I’m wrong for being physical, but I wouldn’t have done that if you did not run that big mouth of yours. Behave when you’re outside and stop asking trouble for yourself.”

A helpless Rachel eventually became the middle person. “I guess we can get over the matter now. I’ll buy you a new ice-cream.”

“No, I can buy it myself.” The girl fished out some notes from her pocket while saying that. “Take it and pay his medical bills for me.”
