My mute bride novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294

Jason’s expression greatly eased. “Is that so? Forget about it, then.”

Rachel nodded before she took her bag and left the scene.

After she left, he walked to the window and drew the curtain. He watched as she exited the old building and headed toward the car park before he closed the curtain.

“Master Jason, can this woman be trusted?”

“Nobody is really trustworthy. We can work together as long as there are benefits.”

Jason glanced at the list. “The Hudson Pharmaceuticals is facing a dire situation, so they must be having a large backlog of their inventory. If she intends to revive the Hudson Pharmaceuticals, she needs a huge working capital to fill that bottomless pit. As for her relationship with Janice, we will have someone keep an eye on that.”

Meanwhile, Rachel drove her car onto the main road that headed toward the city before pressing on her right ear stud, which was an exquisitely designed communication device.

“Hello?” Janice’s voice was heard from the other end. “It seems like Jason is still wary of you.”

“He will take the risk when there’s benefit involved.”

“He is rather concerned about our relationship, so this is something I’m afraid that we have to mull over.”

“I already have an idea.” Rachel held the steering wheel with a calm gaze. “Bucky is going to be released from prison soon, isn’t it?”

On the other end of the call, Janice’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. “What are you going to do?”

“I have to question him about my grandma’s matter.”

“Don’t do anything rash.”

“I know what I’m doing.”

Looking at the traffic light in front, she touched her ear. “I’m almost home. I’m hanging up.”

She ended the call, after which the car returned to silence.

As soon as she arrived home, Charlotte pounced onto her. “Mommy, Aunt Gloria said that she will bring us to the water theme park tomorrow!”

Rachel caressed her head. “Aunt Gloria told you that?”

“Yes, she is not working tomorrow, so she said that she will bring Samuel and me there! Mommy, you should come with us too!”

“Sure.” Rachel carried her up and took her into the room. “Aunt Gloria won’t be able to look after the two of you by herself.” As Justin was nowhere to be seen, she asked, “Where’s your daddy?”

Charlotte shook her head. “He hasn’t returned.”

Rachel nodded.

She thought that it was for the best if they didn’t meet each other. As of late, she and Justin were arguing with each other, which led to a rather awkward and uncomfortable interaction.

The next day at noon, she brought the two children to the Water World.

As it was currently near the end of summer, the sun was not as scorchy as before, the weather felt cozy, in

fact.

They encountered a problem when they were about to enter the changing room.

“Boys below six can only enter with the company of a male adult.” The strict employee at the door stopped Samuel from entering the changing room.

Rachel explained, “My kid can change his clothes by himself, so you only need to give him an entry pass.”

“No, I can’t bear the responsibility if there’s any kidnapping involved.”

His explanation rendered her speechless.

Great, everyone’s here.

Victor was the happiest one as he jogged toward them while waving at Rachel. “Rachel!”

Rachel was surprised. “Why are you guys here?”

Jolly adjusted her hat and replied with a smirk, “We are free. What’s wrong? You don’t want to see us?”

As she spoke, she darted a look at Gloria. “Someone here wasn’t being honest. That’s an underhanded action that you have pulled off. I thought that I met a true friend, but it turns out that I had nearly invited a wolf into the house.”

A guilty Gloria simpered awkwardly.

She had to admit that today’s outing was actually a plan to set Rachel and Justin up, but never expected that there was a traitor among them who had invited everyone here.

Victor coldly snorted, “It’s never easy to change one’s true nature. Our so-called Piano Prodigy has always been like this.”

Upon hearing that, Gloria, who had been suppressing her temper, was pissed. “Who are you exactly?”

He rolled his eyes at her and mocked, “Oh, my, our Piano Prodigy doesn’t recognize an insignificant peasant like me now.”

With her brows tightly knitted, she appraised him from head to toe but still couldn’t recognize him.

Rachel couldn’t bear to watch on and chimed in, “Ria, he’s Victor.”

“Victor?” Gloria was so stunned by the answer that she stared at Victor for a while. “Silly kid, did you have plastic surgery?”

“What plastic surgery?”

“Where’s your blond hair?” she asked, reaching out with her hand to tug his hair. “Is this a wig?”

“Hey, we can talk, but don’t touch me!” Victor shrank backward to avoid her hand.
