Female Novel
Chapter 15
The world spun around Rachel as she found herself being pinned down on the sofa by Justin, whoseeyes were so sharp as if they could penetrate a person’s mind. “How dare you have designs on Julian, ofall people? What is your purpose, to sow discord between us or to make me lose face? Or are you doingso to deliberately take revenge on Sue because of your hatred toward her?”
Rachel couldn’t move at all as Justin held her wrists in a vice-like grip. She panicked at once. What doeshe want to do?! she thought to herself.
Justin gently traced her brows and eyes with his thumb. “What a clear and beautiful pair of eyes youhave. Unfortunately, they’re tainted with ill intentions and the filth of someone who would stop at nothingto get what she wants. How could a pretty and innocent lady exist in the Hudson Family?”novelbin
Surprisingly, his tone of voice betrayed a hint of strange hatred. Hatred? Rachel couldn’t understandwhere his hatred came from. She tried with all her might to break free of his grasp, and her mouthopened and closed repeatedly as she mouthed, “Let go of me… Let go of me…”
However, Justin grasped her so hard that it hurt her. As she thought of how she had been living intrepidation in the Burton Residence over the last few days and how he was slinging mud at her right now,all her grievances welled up inside her at once. While she struggled, the medical report issued by thehospital fell out of her pocket—it contained her grandmother’s medical history.
Justin picked up the report, took a look at it, and looked stunned for a moment. It turns out that she isn’tlying, he thought to himself. He then looked down at the woman beneath him who had already burst intotears. This was her first time shedding tears in front of him, and she cried without making a sound astears flowed silently down the corners of her eyes. For some reason, his initial anger dissipatedinexplicably. “I’ll let you off this time. If I see you getting too close to Julian again in the future, I will lockyou up,” he uttered.
The last three words he uttered made Rachel tremble all over. After he left, she tremblingly picked up themedical report and put it away. Finally, she closed her eyes hard as a slightly hoarse crying voice camefrom her throat. If it weren’t for the fact that she had no choice, she really wished she could stay awayfrom the Burton Residence and never see Justin ever again!
…
The next morning, Rachel woke up with her eyes puffy from crying. She had deliberately avoidedmeeting Julian since the night before; whenever she happened to run into him, she would pretend not tosee him. In order to avoid suspicion, she didn’t even go downstairs until Julian had left.
On the other hand, Sue felt even angrier when she saw how Julian was about to speak, yet he saidnothing in disappointment. She went straight up to Rachel and warned, “No matter what your purpose is,you mustn’t get close to my son in the future. Do you hear me?!”
Since she had no intention of arguing with the older woman, Rachel nodded and was about to leave.However, Sue barked coldly and said, “Stay where you are!”
Rachel stood in place with her back to Sue. She listened as the woman let out a sneer behind her andthreatened, “If you dare to harbor any improper and dirty thoughts, I’ll make your life worse than death.”
Rachel turned around and looked at her. She then explained with her paper and pen, ‘Dr. Peters and Imet purely by chance; there isn’t any purpose that you’re thinking about. I’ll never speak to him again inthe future, and I’ll stay away from him.’
Sue’s expression eased somewhat when she saw that Rachel had written down her pledge. “I don’t carewhether what you said is true. In any case, if you dare to act counter to what you’ve said today, I will letyou know that I, Sue Praham, am no slouch!”
Rachel put away her paper and pen and left in exhaustion. After she left, Mrs. Duncan came forward andsaid to Sue, “Madam, I don’t think what she said is believable.”
Sue raised an eyebrow. “Why would you say so?”
Mrs. Duncan’s expression was meaningful. “Young Master Justin loves Miss Amber, so he’ll divorceRachel sooner or later. Rachel has probably predicted this, which is why she’s hitting on the kind YoungMaster Peters, foolishly attempting to take advantage of him to seek connections with those rich andpowerful. Therefore, she wrote the pledge today just to keep you in check.”
Sue’s face darkened at Mrs. Duncan’s words. “In that case, how do you think I should deal with her?”
Mrs. Duncan thought for a moment and replied, “I think there are two things we should do. Firstly, weshould stop Young Master Peters from meeting her. Secondly, we should get Miss Amber to drive Rachelout as soon as possible. That way, this scourge will not be able to continue staying at the BurtonResidence. Otherwise, there might be untoward complications…”
Sue was lost in thought upon hearing Mrs. Duncan’s words. After a long time, she dialed Amber’s phonenumber.
