My mute bride novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274

On the phone was Robin recounting the meeting earlier.

Jason grew skeptical. “Things must be more than meets the eye. It’s strange how Justin was so obedient to the mute girl.”

“Anyway, Godfather, just leave it to me. Don’t you worry about anything.”

“Right, good luck, then. The sooner you get it over with, the sooner my burden ends.” Ending the call, Jason put down his tea cup.

Beside him was his assistant, who refilled his cup. “What did I say, Master Jason? With Young Master Robin back, the situation is as good as resolved.”

Justin countered, “Robin can be hasty with his actions. His life in Burton Group has been too smooth, so he wouldn’t be able to detect it if someone were to plot against him.”

“Isn’t it too soon for that? Young Master Justin wouldn’t dare to touch him.”

“Touché.” Jason nodded. “Once the problem in Phase Three Land is settled, I’ll have something to offer to my old man in exchange for the funds.”

“Aren’t you going to give Old Mr. Burton an explanation?”

“What for? It’s in the past now. Justin got injured, and he’s determined that I was the one behind it. Thus, an explanation can’t save me, but a solution just might, and charging at them head-on is just out of the question.” Jason was already a middle-aged man, yet he was constantly rebuked by Arthur. Not wanting to face the humiliation, he was always reluctant to tarry in Riverdale. “Remind Robin to stay clean and be wary of that mute. Justin isn’t the only backing she has, but Carter Enterprise as well.”

“Right away.”

It was already afternoon when Rachel carried a fruit basket and a fresh bouquet to the hospital. As soon as she entered the hospital, she bumped into Julian.

“Why are you here, Rae?”

“I’ve come to visit.” Rachel showed him the fruits and flowers in her hands.

Julian nodded. “Is it about the news? You’re here for Mr. Onfroy and his family?”

“I can’t imagine anything else apart from that.”

“Let me bring you to them.”

With that, the two walked next to each other toward the ward as they chatted.

Julian then quizzed, “What are you going to do next? Are you responsible for the mess?”

“Nope, it’s been handed to Robin.”

“As in Robin Gunson, Jason’s godson?” The man remained dazed for a while before letting out a snicker. “This is only going to get worse.”

“You know about him?”

“We’ve known each other since we were kids. I never liked him that much, but Justin straight up abhors him. Robin is highly ambitious but has always been reckless, and Old Mr. Burton is clear about that. Hence, a few years before Justin’s car accident, the old man would always persuade Robin to stay overseas.”

“Justin told me that Robin came back five years ago.”

“Exactly. Robin returned right after Jason was kicked out of Burton Group five years ago. It was the perfect cover as things happened too seamlessly.”

“Isn’t that against the rule?”

Julian scoffed. “The Burton Family has so much power and influence that rules mean nothing to them. Anyway, Rae, better finish up your work and get your kids and yourself out of here as soon as possible.”

Rachel subtly beamed. “Don’t worry. Already on it before you said it.”

‘Where did they bring her?’

‘Westomania.

Reading the name of the location, Rachel was perturbed.

Julian, standing beside her, had also read the message. “He’s good at selecting places.”

Westomania was a theme park constructed under Burton Group’s name. Although all of its infrastructures were complete, they were still running safety tests. Therefore, Burton Group had yet to commence Westomania’s operation. With the child abducted to the theme park, Robin could easily get the child under control, and at the same time, no one would notice his shady activities as there would be no visitors.

“No way. I have to head there right away. The child’s innocent, and if it wasn’t for me…”

“Things are escalating, but it’s still too soon to blame yourself. I’ll go with you.” Julian took off his lab coat and followed Rachel to Westomania.

If they managed to locate the child before Mr. Onfroy gave in to Robin’s terms and agreed to issue a public statement, Robin would have no tricks left to use.

Having just entered the vehicle, Rachel suddenly grew silent upon starting the engine.

“What’s wrong?” Julian put on his seatbelt.

Rachel uttered, “Think about it. If Robin plans to use the child as blackmail against Mr. Onfroy, why would he take Mr. Onfroy with him?”

Julian was visibly puzzled. “Right. Why is that?”

“His intention wasn’t to blackmail Mr. Onfroy, but to gain absolute control.”
