My Mute Bride

Chapter 320

Chapter 320 She’s Really Gone Crazy

“You don’t have the formula yet, right?” Rachel’s words undoubtedly agitated Amber, and the latter’s expression was as dark as could be. Her eyes were so gloomy that she looked like she could slice Rachel to bits in the next moment.

“You’re mocking me!” The knife around Rachel’s neck tightened slightly, forcing Rachel to stand on her tiptoes. Her entire back was tense, but she continued to grit her teeth and bravely say, “No. I’m trying to tell you that nobody else will ever tell you the formula if you kill me. What makes you think that Evan and the others will let you be the President of Hudson Pharmaceuticals then?”

“What do you mean?” “Let me go. I’ll give you the formula. That way, you and I will have the same bargaining chip.”

“Do you think I’m stupid? How do I know whether the formula you give me is real?”

Although Amber claimed that she didn’t believe Rachel, Rachel could clearly feel the stinging pain on her neck easing slightly. The edge of the knife had moved away from her neck.

“I can give you the password to connect to the pharmaceutical factory’s computer.”

“The password?”

“I’m sure you have your own people in the pharmaceutical factory. You can ask your men to operate backstage. The factory is working overtime right now to produce those very medicines. I can’t waste so many medicinal materials just to deceive you.”

Amber looked pensive. “Alright. Give me the password now.”

She continued to hold the knife but shouted behind her, “Why are you still hiding? Come out and call the people at the pharmaceutical factory. Ask them to verify her statement.”

There was no need for Rachel to turn around to know who Amber was talking to. It was Noah.

Nobody knew better than Rachel as to when these two got together. Five years ago, Noah had vented all his rage and resentment on Amber when an accident occurred at Tina’s wedding. However, she turned out to be very adaptable. It was hard to say how she managed to mediate with him, but they were now using each other.

Sure enough, a male figure stepped out of the shadows. “Miss Hudson, it’s been a while.”

“Did you plan this together?”

Jolly was impatient. “Noah, are you not afraid that my parents will never forgive you once we get off this boat if you do this? I’m telling you. If you dare to let that crazy woman touch a single hair on Chris’ head, my parents will not go easy on Hindenburg Conglomerate.”

Noah snorted coldly and glanced sideways at Jolly. “Miss Carter, you can’t even save yourself right now. Do you still have the time to worry about your friend?”

“Don’t touch her!” Rachel’s expression changed. “Let Jolly go first. Otherwise, I won’t say a single word. You won’t get the formula even if you kill me.”

“I’m not leaving!” Jolly was furious. She had bever been threatened in this manner before.

Rachel ignored Jolly and glared at Noah coldly. “You should know just how valuable the Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ formula is. But, the two elders of the Carter Enterprise will never forgive you if you harm Jolly in this place. Did you think you can keep your actions here a secret? Paper cannot contain fire.”

Noah scowled. “You’re threatening me.”

“I’m not threatening you. It’s a warning. A sincere warning.”

After pondering for a moment, he glanced at Jolly. “Miss Carter, please leave.”

Rachel was nothing more than Richard’s goddaughter. On the other hand, Jolly was the only precious daughter of the Carter Family. If anything were to happen to her, the husband-and-wife of the Carter Family would surely use all their resources in the Carter Enterprise to locate the murderer. It would be very troublesome by then.

Jolly was reluctant to leave Rachel alone, but she would only cause more at this time if she refused to leave. Thus, she gritted her teeth and left.

When Rachel saw Jolly leaving, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Noah said, “You can give us the password now, right? Miss Hudson.”

“Young Master Noah, it’s not hard to tell you the password. But, are you sure you want me to tell this woman the password as well?”

He was taken aback by her words.

The words had just left her mouth when then the knife sliced deeper into her neck. A wave of pain immediately washed over her.

Amber pressed the knife against Rachel’s neck and snarled fiercely. “Even at a time like this, you’re still trying to instigate us!? The formula belongs to the Hudson Family in the first place! You should have told me a long time ago! Speak! What is the password!?”

“Young Master Noah!” Rachel cried out in pain. “Think this over carefully! If you don’t mind, then I’ll tell you right now. The password is 6…”

“Wait!” Noah interrupted just in time. “Amber, why don’t you go out first?”

Amber couldn’t believe her ears. “What do you mean by that?”

“I think it’ll be safer if less people know about this formula. You don’t have a single person by your side to help you. I’m afraid you will attract a lot of unscrupulous people if you obtain the formula. I’m doing this for your sake.”

“For my sake?” She gnashed her teeth. “Young Master Noah, you might actually be able to fool other people with your lies. However, I’ve been with you for nearly six years now. Do you think you can still fool me?”

His expression immediately turned grim. “Amber, follow my orders or face the consequences! Don’t forget who has been helping you all this time! If it weren’t for me, do you think you’d have a place to stay in Riverdale?”

The stalemate between them continued and she panicked. When she saw him approaching, she immediately dragged Rachel backward. “Don’t come over! What do you want to do!?”

Rachel had bled a lot from her neck by this time. The moment she was dragged backward, she immediately felt the world spinning around her. She suppressed her discomfort and worked with Amber to move backward, lest she got hurt by accident.

There was no way she could give out the formula, for it was extremely rare and valuable. Moreover, the Hudson Family’s formula was only valuable because it only belonged to the Hudson Family. If the

formula were publicized, then anybody could produce the medicines and the formula would become worthless.

At this moment, there was no other way except to provoke a dispute between these two people.

“Forget it. Do you think I don’t know how you are? Noah Hindenburg, you’re a deranged lunatic! Haven’t you tortured me enough all these years!? I’ve had enough of you a long time ago!”

Rachel staggered backward and caught a glimpse of the deck railing behind her out of the corner of her eye. “Amber!”

Amber was already leaning against the railing. She subconsciously looked back when she heard Rachel’s cry. It was also at this moment that Noah suddenly grabbed Rachel’s arm. Rachel screamed in surprise. Her entire body fell forward, pulled by his strength. The edge of the knife narrowly missed her ear. It could be seen with the naked eye as a strand of hair was cut off in the process.

The corners of his eyes lifted in a smug grin. Unfortunately, his smile didn’t even last for a moment before it froze with a cold flash of light.

Amber seemed to have been prepared in advance. The moment Rachel was pulled away, she didn’t retreat but lunged forward instead. A dagger glinting with a cold light stabbed hard into Noah’s chest, then she immediately pulled the knife out again. Blood splattered everywhere, splashing onto Rachel’s face.

“Ugh…”

The grip around Rachel’s arm loosened. She watched helplessly as Noah backed away and stumbled over to the railing. He was clutching at his chest and trying to stop the bleeding. However, Amber was a

medical student. She knew about the vital spots of a human’s body better than anybody else. That attack had cost him his life.

Meanwhile, Rachel’s eyes were filled with a blood mist. She could barely see what was happening in front of her. This is insane! Amber has gone crazy!
