My Mute Bride Chapter 20

Justin had brought a sign language teacher to the principal’s office so that she could help Rachel interpret her responses.

At that moment, the woman clenched her teeth and met the PE teacher’s gaze. The person in the video isn‘t me. Please explain yourself.

“How can it not be you?” the PE teacher insisted. “You were the one who seduced me back then.”

You‘re lying. Rachel quickly signed. Why would I seduce you?

When the teacher’s interpreted response reached Justin’s ears, he fell into thought. Although Rachel was a mute, she was still the eldest daughter of the Hudson Family after putting aside her unfortunate circumstances. It was indeed unexpected to think that she would seduce an ugly PE teacher.

However, the PE teacher had his own comeback. “You wanted to raise your gym scores. The university you applied for required excellent scores across the board, but your grades for gym were too low. You couldn’t successfully tempt me and you threatened me with a video clip, so I was forced to change your scores.”

Rachel’s face drained of color, and she frantically defended herself by signing away.

“How could I seduce a teacher just to change my scores?’ NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

The way Justin looked at her changed. Amidst the tense stand-off, he gave an order coldly. “Check the records,” he said.

The school records would have all of a student’s grades, and everything would be clear as long as they checked the records.

Rachel’s school records were soon retrieved. Despite her muteness, she excelled in every subject, save for the ‘fail’ grade at the end of her second semester as a sophomore, which had been struck out with red pen.

Anyone could see what the problem was since the grade had been changed to a higher one when she had failed it.

Intense coldness bubbled instantly in Justin’s eyes. “What else do you have to say for yourself?” he asked Rachel coldly.

Rachel’s face was even whiter than the walls around her, and she shook her head weakly.

Smack. The packet containing her school records was flung onto the desk. “From now on, you are no longer the mistress of the Burton Family.”

The entire office went horrendously silent after those words fell.

Rachel panicked. She didn’t dare to believe that Justin would so easily believe the PE teacher’s testimony.

No, she could not let the Burtons hate her! She had to explain things clearly since she couldn’t afford to leave the Burtons. After all, her grandmother was still in Jeffrey’s clutches.

Since she was still in a panic, Rachel blocked Justin’s path and hastily signed something. I can get my schoolmates back then to back me up.

“There’s no need for that. We Burtons have already been embarrassed enough!” Justin’s tone was cold beyond belief. He swept his gaze over her in distaste and left with large strides, not once hesitating at all.

“Allow me to send you off, Mr. Burton.” The principal quickly followed him. Meanwhile, the teachers who were left behind also scattered.

Rachel’s mind was blank as she looked at Justin’s back. Someone bumped into her, and she staggered from the impact. Her knees crashed against the coffee table from this, and she crouched down from the pain.

“Are you okay, Rachel?” a man called out behind her.

Rachel snapped out of her pain. She reflexively turned around, but before she could regain her footing, she hastily took several steps back to look fearfully at the bald man before her.

Everyone else in the office had left; she and the PE teacher were the only ones left.

Don‘t come closer

“I thought that there was going to be a huge disaster since Justin Burton came knocking on the school’s door.” The PE teacher chuckled coldly. “Who would have thought that it would be resolved so easily? Looks like your time with the Burtons hasn’t been great, Rachel.”

The latter’s limbs instantly chilled. She looked at the door through the corners of her eyes before she tried to make a break for it. However, the PE teacher’s eyes were sharp and his movements were swift. In one move, he gripped her arm and dragged her back roughly before viciously flinging her onto the couch. “You haven’t even explained yourself properly. Why are you running?” he asked maliciously.

Rachel saw stars from the impact, and her heart dropped into an abyss.

Don‘t touch me! Someone, save me!

She opened her mouth and did her best in an attempt to make a sound, but regardless of her efforts, all she could make her throat produce was a hoarse, sobbing sound.

“Don’t be scared.” The PE teacher’s gaze moved downward, a perverted smile appearing on his face as he stared at Rachel’s heaving chest. “If you had just been willing to be a good girl back then, I wouldn’t have been worried about you making a fuss, and I wouldn’t have thought of covering it up. Now’s a good chance for me; not even Justin Burton wants you now, so why don’t you just come with me…”

Rachel shook her head in despair. She shrank into the corner of the couch, her entire body trembling

The truth back then was actually simple-a lecherous PE teacher wanted to take advantage of a mute girl, but he wasn’t able to get what he wanted. In order to hide the truth, he fashioned a situation, one where he blew the whistle instead when he was the villain, and he sent the school into an uproar. No one cared about the truth at all, for all they wanted was to be entertained.

Right now, not even Justin believed her.

The man’s hand was already reaching toward her. Rachel’s eyes were filled with fear, and they were wide with despair.

Don‘t come closer...

All of a sudden, the office’s door was sent flying onto the wall with a loud crash. The entire room practically shook. The next moment, the PE teacher let out a blood curdling cry as someone knocked him over.

By the time Rachel regained her senses, the PE teacher’s lecherous face was already viciously mashed into the ground by a foot in a leather shoe. That foot rubbed hard against his face like it was a clear

“Ah-” The PE teacher’s features contorted into an eerie facsimile as he screamed.

Rachel lifted her head. When her gaze moved upward from the shoe, her entire body froze.

The gigantic figure’s shadow descended, swallowing up Rachel’s entire figure amidst the dust in the room.

The man’s cold, handsome face was a little bit of a blur. His voice wasn’t loud, but it was authoritative. “Whichever hand he used to touch my woman, then that hand will be maimed.”

It was Justin

Didn‘t he leave?

Justin’s assistant, Frankie, retrieved a pinhole camera from behind a painting in the office. “Everything has been recorded, Mr. Burton.”

It wasn’t until the PE teacher had been dragged outside that Rachel returned to reality. She looked at the man in front of her in shock. You were here the whole time?

Justin’s forehead twisted into a small frown as he looked at the disheveled woman.

There were far too many holes in the news story, and it couldn’t hold up at all. However, it was also difficult to find any definitive proof because of how long ago it was. That was why he pulled this stunt so that the PE teacher could have a taste of his own medicine. However, Rachel had to suffer unjustly for this.

Suffer unjustly?

When those words flashed across Justin’s mind, his forehead twitched.

Rachel didn’t know what Justin was thinking, but she let out a sigh now that the truth had come to light. She gripped the corner of the couch, just barely managing to support herself. However, the pain from

her knees assaulted her again when she stood up, making her topple to the ground.

As she let out a scratchy cry of shock, a pair of large hands steadied her just in time.

Justin’s eyes darkened when he saw the bruises on Rachel’s knees. “Are they injuries from just now?”

Rachel felt uneasy, afraid that she had once again caused trouble

against the couch and carefully signed. I can walk by myself.

The tears in the tiny woman’s eyes had yet to dry, and her pretty little face was pale and haggard. She clearly was in a lot of pain, yet she still gritted her teeth and forced herself to pretend that everything was okay.

Justin’s heart clenched. When she stood up, he pressed a hand onto her shoulder before taking off his jacket and wrapping it around her. Without another word, he scooped her up into a princess carry and carried her away under everyone’s stunned gazes.
