The Silent Wife

"At first, I thought it was strange, but we didn't see him much at first. Now that we see him every day, it does feel weird now that you've mentioned it," Rachel replied.

During the past three days, all of her energy was spent on taking care of Justin. She could not care less what Nathan was addressing her as. "So, why is that?"

"I think only you could ask him."

Justin tried asking, but Nathan did not have a nice attitude. Most of the time, Nathan was impatient with him.

Rachel was deep in thought hearing that.

After dinner, Justin sat in the living room while she went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

"Miss Hudson, please let me. You don't need to do these things. Please take a rest." Nathan blocked Rachel in her tracks, not letting her move.

However, she did not listen to him and insisted, "We've been staying here, not doing anything at all while you took care of us. If I can't even contribute to this little chore, we'd feel really bad." "Miss Hudson, you don't need to be courteous with me. If my master knew I allowed you to do chores, he'd scold me."

"Why?"

"Because you are Miss Hudson. There's no reason for you to do the chores," he contended.

"Let me ask you a question, Nathan." She changed the topic.

"Please do."

"Why do you keep calling me Miss Hudson? Who asked you to do that?"

Nathan was stunned at her question.

Yet, Rachel did not stop asking, "Was it Mr. Keaton?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I don't know."

"How could you not know? Nathan. Tell me the truth. What did Mr. Keaton tell you? Why are you protecting me?"

He scratched his head. "Miss Hudson, it's no use asking me. I really don't know why."

Even though he was tall and burly, looking like the boss of a gang, he was a simple guy. After spending some time with him, they realized that he was easy to read. He wore his emotions on his face and would not lie.

It seemed like he did not know the reason.

Getting no answer from him, Rachel walked out of the kitchen and shook her head at Justin.

Justin frowned in response.

They could only wait for Mr. Keaton to show up and ask him. Either that or they could ask Mr. Brook, who referred them to meet Mr. Keaton. However, the most important thing now was how they were going to leave Enistan.

"I wonder how Jolly and the rest are doing?" Rachel leaned on the sofa and sighed.

Justin asked, "What about Lush Enterprise? No news from them at all?"

"That's the weird part. I was sure Jolly took Leroy away during the wedding, but there was no news from Lush looking for him at all. They didn't even come looking for trouble with us." She was at a loss.

In theory, if Leroy, the groom, ran away during the wedding, Mrs. Bennett would have been furious. She would order people to look for him no matter where he went, but there was nothing from them. It was abnormal.

"Once we return to Riverdale, it'll all be clear," Justin answered.

"When shall we leave, then?"

"As early as possible, this isn't a safe place." He knew that the Porters would check the flights. If they could not find Justin and Rachel's flight information, it was obvious that both of them were still in Enistan. Enistan was the Porters' safe harbor and territory, if they both fell into their hands once again, it would not be an easy escape.

At this moment, Sabrina was dressed in all black standing on the Enistan Sun Harbor. After watching a batch of goods leaving the port, she asked coldly, "Any news?"

Caroline's voice came from behind her. “Nothing on the flights and ferries, perhaps they left using the bridge."

"Impossible, we have our people at the bridge. If they went through there, we would have gotten them."

Sabrina clenched her fists. "They must still be in Enistan.”

"Are they, though? It's been three days. If they killed Mr. Porter, wouldn't they want to leave Enistan quickly? It's not safe for them here." "Sometimes the most dangerous place is the safest."

After saying that, Sabrina suddenly thought of something. "Go and search Idyll Mountain again. Don't let go of every nook and cranny."

At the end of her words, all her subordinates answered in unison, "Yes."

Caroline was just about to say something when she was interrupted by a voice. "Miss Porter, the guest is here."

Guest?

Caroline was surprised. She turned around to see a familiar figure coming down from a black sedan. With polished shoes and rimless glasses, he looked like a gentleman. However, the gentle and elegant person she remembered him to be, now had an aura of indifference.

Julian...

His name sprang to her mind, but she could not believe it.

Is it Julian?

Just when Caroline was deep in thought, Sabrina walked over to the car and got in. They would be talking in the car.

Caroline asked one of the subordinates near her, "What's happening? Who's that person Miss Sabrina is meeting? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"Oh. That person is from Riverdale. He's the current president of the Burton Group."

"How did Miss Sabrina know him?"

"When they found the fingerprints on the gun, Miss Porter sent someone to Riverdale and got in contact with him. At first, they wanted to ask who interrogate him who the murderer is, but he proposed a collaboration instead."

Collaboration? Caroline's heart skipped a beat.

She could not believe that Julian wanted to work with Sabrina. Was he out of his mind?

At this moment, Caroline had not realized the true reason for Julian and Sabrina's collaboration. Not only was it for business and money, Julian also had some unsettled relations he had to deal with. The night sky fell quickly. Outside the car window was Enistan's bustling night scene comparable to that of Riverdale's.

"You've got guts. Coming here to Enistan alone to meet me. Aren't you afraid something would happen and you can't return?" Sabrina taunted.

"Miss Porter, I think you've got more guts than I do; getting my car in the middle of the night with only me and my driver. There's no one else here," Julian answered.

"I've got guts cause I know I got the upper hand." Sabrina suddenly wiped out a gun and pointed it at Julian's forehead. "Stop playing word games with me. I like being straightforward and efficient. Have Justin and Rachel contacted you?"

He raised his arms in surrender, showing that he had no intentions to fight back. "Perhaps you've not been notified, but our relationship has been strained recently. Do you think they would still contact me?" "Then, why did you come to Enistan? Are you playing with me?" she snapped at him.

"Just because they won't initiate contact with me, doesn't mean that I can't contact them." His cool voice reverberated in the car.
