My Mute Bride Chapter 18

“Please don’t blame my sister, Madam Parham. It’s all in the past. Rachel was young, and she didn’t know any better. It was only because of a slip in judgment that she-”

Amber pretended to beg for mercy on Rachel’s behalf. In truth, however, she was deliberately fanning the flames.

Just as she wanted, those words instantly drew Sue’s ire. She grabbed Amber’s hand and interrupted her by saying, “You’re still speaking up for her, Amber? She plotted to steal your fiance, and she also has no sense of propriety. A woman like her is practically sullying the Burtons’ name!”

Sue got more and more worked up as she continued. She then pointed at Rachel. “You’d better scram right now! You,”

Sue still had more words to say, but then Justin stopped her with a gesture. His gaze darkened as he immediately gripped Rachel’s wrist and coldly tossed a few words her way. “You there. Follow me.”

He didn’t even give her a chance to respond.

Justin was exceptionally strong, and Rachel felt like her wrist was about to be broken from being squeezed in his hand. He dragged Rachel back to his room and slammed the door before swinging her onto the bed.

Rachel fell clumsily, for the sudden movement made her head spin. Just as she was about to get up from the bed, Justin pressed down on her and locked her firmly underneath his body.

What is he planning to do?C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Panic immediately colored Rachel’s eyes, and she couldn’t stop herself from shrinking back. However, she couldn’t escape at all because Justin had her firmly pinned down.

A dangerous aura radiated from him, making her feel extremely uneasy.

“What are you hiding for? Feeling guilty already?”

Justin gave a cold chuckle, and the mocking look in his eyes intensified.

Rachel had seen that expression of his; when she heard him speak again, she

promptly widened her eyes and glared back.

Justin eyed her. The cold words raining down on her head seemed to be a precursor to his fury.

“Jeffrey really did raise an obedient dog.”

Rachel froze before she grabbed at the bedsheets. She then shook her head and gestured, I didn‘t do anything.

She was not Jeffrey’s dog, and she hated the Hudsons. After all, she was forced to marry into the Burton Family only because she was concerned about her grandmother

“What? You want me to believe you just because you shook your head?” Justin’s voice gradually became deeper. His rough hand moved upward, seeming as though he would snap Rachel’s neck at any moment.

He was truly incensed now. Ever since the mute woman arrived at their household, the Burtons hadn’t had a moment of peace. Now, she even caused a huge scandal like this. She was just a mute, yet they had underestimated her.

Rachel’s face turned red from exertion as she valiantly tried to fight off his powerful grip. She didn’t want to die, for her grandmother was still waiting to be rescued-she could not die either.

“Looks like you won’t admit it unless I mete out some sort of punishment!” Justin let out a cold scoff when he saw her struggling stubbornly. All of a sudden, he put in more power and lifted her up completely.

Rachel was so startled that she let out a cry. Even though she couldn’t speak, fear still made her throat produce a hoarse sound. It was scratchy and unpleasant to the ear, and it drew Justin’s ire.

The man lifted her up and brought her straight to the bathroom. Then, he flung her into the gigantic bathtub before he coldly ordered, “Take off your clothes!”

Rachel froze.

What was Justin going to do?

She lifted her head, but all that met her gaze was Justin’s icy cold eyes, devoid of any warmth. Right now, any explanation she could give would seem weak and useless.

Rachel snapped her eyes shut and bit her lip. After some hesitation, she gave into the situation, and she began taking off her skirt with slow movements. Off went her blouse, and off went her safety shorts. In the end, all she had on was her bra.
