The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 575

Justin’s voice wasn’t loud; it was just enough for the two of them to hear him.

Lionel looked in the distance and saw the leader of the Merchants Bureau talking happily with Julian and his people. There were many people around them, buttering them up, hoping to get a share of the project.

Then, he said, “There’s no need to rush. He doesn’t need to be there in person.”

As Lionel said that, Justin saw the assistant of the Merchants Bureaus’ leader rushing to the leader. No one knew what the assistant said, but there was a change in the leader’s expression at once.

Seeing that, Lionel took the cocktail glass and clinked it with Justin’s. “The battle has just started.”

As soon as the business cocktail party ended, Jolly received a call from Richard, telling her the situation at the party.

“Really? Julian is definitely enraged. I’m telling Chris this good news now.”

At this moment, Rachel had just returned home and was changing her coat to have dinner with Jolly outside. When she came out, the first thing she saw was Jolly happily dancing.

“What’s the matter with you? Did you take any pills?”

“What pills? It’s about that business cocktail party. My dad told me that the free trade port project was handed to the Burton Group. You guess which Burton Group it is.”

“Riverdale?”

Jolly shook her head.

“The northern division?” Rachel’s eyes brightened.

“Nope,” Jolly said. “It’s a joint investment of the two divisions of Burton Group. Crazy, right?”

When Rachel heard that, she was extremely surprised. “How is that possible?”

“Why not? I heard that the situation at the party was quite complicated. Julian brought a female secretary of the Department of Commerce there. Everyone thought that Riverdale’s Burton Group was going to take this project for sure, but the end result was really unexpected.”

“Did both of them agree to it?”

“Of course not. Especially Julian. How is it possible for him to collaborate with Justin?”

“So? What happened then?”

“Don’t you remember that your father is there? With his status and background, once he intervenes, how can the others get a share of the project? So, Julian could only grit his teeth and agree to it.”

Jolly was slapping her thigh and laughing loudly. “It doesn’t matter whether Julian wants this project or not, and it will still be ours in the end.”

However, Rachel was immersed in her thoughts after hearing that. She felt that Justin collaborating with Julian was not good news. Since Julian was very cunning and could do anything to achieve his goal, Justin would need a lot of eyes around him to defend Julian’s tricks.

“We must have barbeque tonight to celebrate this!” Then, Jolly studied Rachel’s attire. “You can’t wear that. We’re going for a drink tonight. No way you’re wearing that. Go and change, quick!”

Only then did Rachel snap out of her daze. “Change into what?”

“Miniskirt. The shorter, the better.”

“We’ve just entered spring. Do you want me to die from the cold?”

“You won’t die. Just wear something thick outside. Come here. I’ll choose it for you.”

As Jolly said that, she pushed Rachel into the bedroom and changed her clothes for her forcefully.

Jolly was the one who organized the gathering tonight. Her reason was to celebrate the Valentine’s that she missed previously and have a bachelorette night together. After tonight, she would be married to Leroy.

After the New Year and Valentine’s day, Gloria and Victor had just been married for a few days. Jolly was getting excited during that period, but joy begets sorrow; she broke up with Leroy not long after the wedding.

But she was going to be a married woman tomorrow. Things were just unpredictable.

“Ria!” Rachel shouted for so long, but both of them still didn’t react.

At this moment, Jolly handed her a beer bottle. “Don’t worry. This bar is very safe. The owner here is very close to me, so I’ve asked him to keep an eye on my friends. There won’t be any trouble. Come, let’s drink! It’s been a long time since I last drank.”

Rachel took the beer bottle and clinked the bottle with Jolly resignedly. “I wish you a happy last bachelorette night.”

“Of course, I need to be happy. There’s still a grand finalé later.”

Grand finalé? Based on Jolly’s strong personality, Rachel suddenly had a bad feeling.

Meanwhile, in a five-star hotel in Riverdale’s city center, Leroy saw a video in the group chat and jumped up immediately. “They went clubbing!” In the living room, the two men who were drinking raised their heads sharply when they heard that.

Puzzled, Victor asked, “Isn’t it a normal thing for Jolly to go clubbing? Can you not have double standards? Men can go clubbing, but why can’t women go?”

“Agree.” On the side, Justin was sitting on the floor. He clinked glasses with Victor and said, “It’s understandable that she wants to relax sometimes.”

Looking at both of them, Leroy said coldly, “I said ‘they’, not ‘she’. And, of course, Gloria and Rachel are included in the ‘they’.”

As he said that, the two men who were just watching the fun stood up at once.

“Which club?” Justin was the one who asked the question first, with a darkened face.

Instantly, Victor snapped into fight-or-flight mode, standing up. “I’m starting the car. Send me the address.”

Seeing their reaction, Leroy teased them boldly, “Didn’t you guys don’t care just now? Why are you flipping out now?”

“Of course! Why should I care when someone else’s wife goes clubbing? Of course, I only care about my wife!” Victor then glared at Leroy. “Your wife is a bad influence. I’m gonna deal with you later when we’re back.”

When Leroy heard their comments, he complained, “What does this have anything to do with me?” He didn’t do anything but was getting blamed for everything.
