Escape of the Framed Mute Chapter 1
On the day of my one-year anniversary with Jasper Cole, his first love suddenly returned from abroad and kidnapped me.Giselle Ackley patted my face, her long, diamond-studded nails slapping against it."So, you're Aurora Greene? Jasper's charity case—the poor university student he's been sponsoring for six years?"You really do look a lot like me…" she remarked.I was stunned.I had always heard from Jasper's friends that he had a childhood sweetheart, a perfect "first love" that everyone adored. There were supposedly enough guys chasing after her to form a long line.This was the first time I had seen her.Looking at her face, I had to admit we did share some resemblance.However, she was the golden girl dressed head-to-toe in luxury brands, while I was an orphan who needed financial support just to attend university.I let out a bitter laugh.Jasper had sponsored me for six years after seeing my photo. I had once thought of him as my savior. It turned out his kindness wasn

Actually, Giselle was wrong. I didn't hate her—I envied her. I envied her for having so much love.Just like now, when people were seeking me out for revenge, all because she had been hurt. They were either her admirers or her family. They didn't care about the truth—only that I had wronged her.They cornered me, threatening and kicking me."How dare you kidnap Giselle? Look at yourself. You're not even worthy! If anything happens to her, I'll make sure you suffer!""She's probably some messed-up mute with issues. Hey, you! Stay away from Giselle!"I curled up on the floor, trembling.Jasper's secretary found out what was happening and rushed to the stairwell."Ms. Greene, are you okay?" she asked.I asked her where Jasper was—did he know they were bullying me?The secretary hesitated, finally telling me to leave the hospital.I laughed bitterly.I wasn't mistaken.Those shoes I had seen stepping into the stairwell earlier and then leaving were definitely Jasper's.

I bent down to pick up the watch and gestured an apology.He grabbed my arm, his voice low and firm. "Trying to run off with my watch, thief?"I attempted to pull away, but his grip didn't budge. I tried to explain, but he didn't understand sign language.With no other choice, I pushed him into the empty bathroom of the neighboring private room.In the small space, our eyes met, and the atmosphere felt a bit awkward.I placed the watch on the sink and pushed it toward him, then typed an explanation on my phone, telling him what had happened.He finally understood, confirming, "So, you're hiding from two bad guys, not trying to run away."I nodded."Then why didn't you call the police?" he asked.I lowered my eyes.The Ackleys had too much power. Calling the police now would only alert them. I needed to gather more evidence to deliver a fatal blow.Once I was sure those two guys had left, I pushed open the door, ready to leave.The man grabbed my arm again."Wait, you're ju

When Giselle turned and saw me, she was startled to the point of almost stumbling.Jasper quickly stepped over and caught her right in front of me. "Be careful, Giselle," he said gently.The tenderness on his face flickered for a moment before he turned to me, his expression cold. "Aurora, are you just going to stand there like a statue?"I felt my breath catch. I had misunderstood again.I had assumed he had been waiting for me, but it turned out he had been waiting for Giselle.If I remembered correctly, Jasper didn't like eating fish. Then again, if Giselle made it, he'd probably enjoy it.Giselle lightly patted Jasper's arm and said, "Jasper, don't be so harsh. Aurora, I'm sorry. That's just how he is. Do you want to join us for dinner?"I shook my head, indicating that I had already eaten.I went upstairs to pack my things. I didn't have much—just a canvas bag.When I came back downstairs, Giselle was nowhere to be seen. Only Jasper remained, reading a book on the couch

Waylon had somehow gotten on the subway as well. Seeing me desperately pushing the thin man away, he pulled me behind him.The thin man wasn't backing down. "What do you think you're doing, pulling my girlfriend? We're in the middle of an argument! This is none of your business!"Waylon asked, "Is this scrawny dude your boyfriend?"I shook my head and started typing on my phone.He took my phone and said, "I learned some sign language overnight. I can understand."I signed a few words.After Waylon read my message, he grabbed the thin man by his collar. "You're openly harassing a woman in public and using her being mute to get away with it!"The thin man panicked. "What proof do you have? How can you accuse me? I'm calling the police! You can't hit me!"Waylon laughed. "Call the police if you want. I am the police! I'm the one who's going to deal with scumbags like you!"After we exited the subway, I followed Waylon to the police station.-In the end, the thin man was detai

I nodded.Fearing that Jasper wouldn't believe I was doing well without him, I showed him a photo on my phone of Waylon and me enjoying a meal.Jason stared at the picture for a moment before commenting, "You look really happy."Just then, a message from Waylon popped up.Waylon: [Aurora, I'm here. Where are you?]I felt the notification and turned my phone back to myself, waving goodbye to Jasper as I walked toward Waylon.Waylon was dressed casually in a black T-shirt and jeans, smiling as he approached.When he noticed Jasper behind me, his expression shifted. He asked, "Isn't that your ex? Is he causing trouble again? Do you want me to handle him?"I shook my head and smiled, signaling for him to lead the way since I was hungry.-Waylon took me to a restaurant, and Jasper stubbornly followed us.The owner asked how many of us there were. Waylon said two, but Jasper chimed in with three.Jasper insisted, "The last incident was a misunderstanding. Let me treat you both t
Escape of the Framed Mute Chapter 7
I pushed the door open.Inside was a hazy mess filled with the smell of secondhand smoke. Empty alcohol bottles were scattered everywhere, along with a significant amount of trash.At that moment, I felt transported back to the day I first met Jasper.I had eagerly visited my sponsor, only to discover he was a disheveled, heavy-drinking, chain-smoking man. Giselle had left him, and he had been drowning in despair, lost in the darkness.Every day, I would go to help him clean up and share funny stories to lift his spirits. It had taken months of effort, but gradually, he returned to a more normal state.Now, he was back to how he had been before—and it was all because of me.It was ridiculous.If he was so unhappy, why hadn't he treated me better back then? Now, who was he trying to elicit pity from?I fully opened the door and let Mabel in to clean up while I prepared to leave.Jasper rushed out and blocked the door, forcing a smile. "Aurora, can you at least have a meal with

Jasper awkwardly withdrew his hand, looking at me with a heavy expression.I pointed to the roses and signed, "Sorry, but I can't accept these flowers. It's not that I don't like flowers. I just don't like the person who delivered them."A flicker of disappointment crossed his eyes. Before leaving, he told me he would make up for the grievances I had suffered in the past.-Jasper sent legal letters to everyone who had wronged me and publicly acknowledged our former relationship. The online buzz was intense.People were saying that Jasper was an exceptional man and that I didn't deserve his affection. Trending hashtags included #RichHeirSponsoredNarcissist and #WhatsSoSpecialAboutHer.At that moment, Giselle suddenly shared Jasper's post with the caption: [The past will always remain in the past.]The picture showed a bouquet of 999 red roses.Fans who supported Jasper and Giselle together went wild, flooding the discussion thread with comments.[If this isn't an official
