The Revenge of the Mute Wife Chapter 149
The next day, Deborah arrived with Caroline at the designated place to sign the pardon and free her ‘poor’ parents.“Be careful, Debbie, there are steps here,” Caroline said, holding Deborah’s hand as they entered the place.[Thanks for coming with me, Carrie.]“Are you kidding? I wouldn’t miss this. You know I love drama,” she whispered, making Deborah laugh.When they reached the door of the office Cameron had indicated, they saw a woman sitting at a desk next to it.“Good morning, we have an appointment,” said Caroline.“Good morning, under whose name is the appointment?”Caroline looked at Deborah, who shook her head. “Well, I’m not sure under what name it was registered, but we’re looking for lawyer Cameron Palmer, he’s the one who scheduled this meeting.”“Oh… the pardon practice,” the secretary said, confusing the girls a bit. “Sure, while I notify him of your arrival, you can take a seat.”“Thank you,” Caroline said, helping Deborah sit in the nearest chair and noticin

“Well, are you done reading?” Cameron asked, exasperated.[Yes, but I don’t understand… the first page is the pardon, but what are the other pages for?]“That’s why I told you to stop reading things you don’t understand and sign already.”[Not so fast; don’t you remember what I told you?]“What are you talking about?”[I’m not signing anything until you give me what you promised.]“First, sign…”[Then, no.]“Hey, you,” Caroline spoke, drawing everyone’s attention. “Kid, shouldn’t you say something about this? This lawyer is doing something illegal right now.”“Uh…” Judge Hunter looked a bit nervous.“As far as I know, a pardon shouldn’t be conditional upon receiving something in return, because that’s what a pardon is for,” Caroline stressed, crossing her arms.“Oh… well, that…”“Shut up, woman, don’t talk about things you don’t know,” Cameron said, annoyed. “And look, to stop you from crying, here it is,” he declared, looking at Deborah while pulling out a gold keychain wi

"Jeremy, I'm deeply disappointed in you," his father declared sternly. "Using your brother's office to engage in something illegal? We'll discuss your punishment at home. And you," he said, turning to Cameron, "do you realize you could lose your professional license for this? Extorting this woman and deceiving my son into stealing his brother’s seal?""Tch... what’s it to you, old man? You should just go back to the nursing home you escaped from.""Show some respect, lawyer. While my father may be retired, I can definitely ensure you’re banned from practicing law. Mary, call security.""Right away, boss," the secretary replied, reaching for her phone."Wait, I-I think this is just a misunderstanding," Cameron stammered, beginning to panic as the situation spiraled out of control."Now give me back that keychain you stole," Deborah demanded, extending her right hand."This wasn’t part of the deal.""The deal was illegal to begin with," Christian said, stepping into the room and s

"That idiot’s taking too long," Frederick grumbled as he paced back and forth in his cell. "He said everything would be ready before lunchtime.""He’s probably got diarrhea again, so that’s why he’s not here," Vanessa sighed.The police had placed them in adjoining cells, which was a small comfort, though it was obvious they were kept together so they could be more easily watched. Still, it was better than being thrown in with the general prison population."Tch… how long does it take to get a signature?" With each passing minute, Frederick felt time dragging on. He couldn’t understand why this was taking so long—he had always secured those kinds of signatures in seconds from his previous victims."Relax, love," Vanessa said optimistically. "He’ll be here soon with the good news. He’s probably just finalizing the paperwork to get us out of here.""You’re right, my love," Frederick sighed, finally stopping his pacing. "And once we’re out, we’ll figure out how to deal with those two

I don’t really care, but I suppose you two will need to find yourselves a new lawyer to deal with this mess,” the officer remarked nonchalantly. “Anyway, I’ve delivered the news, so you can go back to imagining your freedom,” he added, turning on his heel to leave them alone once again.Frederick and Vanessa were seething with anger. That cop had only come to humiliate them, mocking them with such grim news.“That bastard couldn’t even do that right?!” Frederick shouted, slamming his fists against the bars. “How hard could it have been to get the mute girl to sign? Damn it... I never should’ve trusted a fool like him.”“I told you we shouldn’t have trusted that idiot!”“Alright, alright, woman... I admit it was a mistake. But how did they find out?”“Forget that… We’ve got a bigger problem now.”“What?”“You told him about our plans yesterday. What if he spills everything to Detective Morgan about what we wanted to do to Deborah?”“Shut up. He knows better than to talk. It woul

One day before the trial, Christian was organizing his papers while explaining the plan to Deborah. They had heard that Frederick and Vanessa had found a new lawyer, so they wanted to be prepared for anything as they were unsure of what to expect from this new opponent.They were gathered at Deborah’s house, trying to make the most of their time to go over their strategy, even though it meant working on a Sunday.Though “working” was a loose term; their partners were busy in the kitchen, completing the meal. Jayden had mentioned he wanted hamburgers and fries drenched in various sauces for dinner.“And look, this is the evidence... well, you know, the forged orders and documents Frederick used to get Debbie’s grandpa and mom... uh, well...” Christian trailed off, making a face before glancing over to the shelf on the right, where they had placed the recovered keychain next to a photo of Deborah’s grandfather and mother.“Relax, son. It’s a terrible truth... but at least now my fath

Deborah smiled and nodded in agreement, reaching for her juice.“Come on, chubby, help me get the burgers onto the trays,” Caroline called.“Here you go, father-in-law, take this to the table,” Jayden said, handing him a bowl of fries.“Got it,” Nicholas replied with a grin, amused by the joy on his daughter’s face as she eyed the food.[Don’t forget the sauces, please,] Deborah requested.“Haha, that’s my grandson talking,” Nicholas teased, making Deborah blush.“Come on, don’t give them a hard time,” Jayden laughed, carrying a tray with the sauces.Caroline and Christian brought the burgers to the table, and soon everyone was eating.The five of them enjoyed a pleasant moment, chatting about the arrival of baby James and the nursery’s decorations.After the meal, Deborah fell asleep, and Jayden carried her to the bedroom for a more comfortable rest.“Alright, we’re going to follow Deborah’s example and head out,” Caroline said, taking her husband’s hand.“Thanks for coming

The big day had arrived. It was time to determine who was lying and who was the real victim in the Anderson family.The truth behind this mystery was the scandal of the moment, with all the news and media outlets closely watching the trial. After all, today would finally reveal how the third most powerful family in the city had suddenly fallen, only to reappear mysteriously as a wealthy family led by a pair of strangers.One particular couple, eager for the spotlight, planned to make the most of this grand stage. They were confident that after today, once they had crushed that stupid girl, they would have all the money in the world, and those fools who had rejected them at first would come crawling back, begging to become their partners and increase their fortune even more.At that very moment, Frederick and Vanessa were dressed in the clothes their new lawyer had provided—clothes they had specifically requested, as today was a celebration. Today would mark the end of their long ord

He also apologized to his little brother for being such a jerk.Even though he didn’t want to, Elliot reluctantly accepted the apologies because his wife convinced him that holding onto grudges wasn’t healthy.Unfortunately, the Peterson family only got to celebrate being united for a short period of time because two weeks after that reconciliation… George passed away of natural causes.That was a tragic moment for everyone, one that shook his friends, reminding them of how precious and short life is.

These are the reports of the current buildings for sale in the city.”“Huh… are you already looking into that?”“Well, son, your sister graduates next year, and a year is not a lot of time to start a company from scratch.”“Will it already be furnished for her?” he asked, taking the documents to read them.“Yes, that’s why I want to buy a warehouse to remodel or a vacant lot so you and your dad can work your magic to build it and make it just like Elizabeth wants.”“It’s a project I can’t wait to start,” James said excitedly.“Your little siblings are also helping me, looking into sewing stores to buy industrial

My family supported me, and thanks to learning the truth, I understood why we had three grandfathers.”“I imagine you became an architect because of Jayden.”“That’s right. My motivation was seeing how his drawings came to life… it excited me to the point where I wanted to do the same, and as the days went by, that desire grew stronger, so I decided to make it a reality,” he said, his excitement evident in his words. “Though I also saw that Uncle did something similar by turning his sketches into beautiful jewelry, but that didn’t impress me as much.”“I see, but didn’t my dad teach you the basics of the company?”“Yes, Grandpa showed me the trade,” James said with a smile. “In fact, I’m a good appraiser, and I know how to make jewelry because Uncle also taught me the basics of jewelry design and creation. But I see that as a hobby because the only jewelry I’ve made has been for my mom, my sisters

What are you doing here?” James questioned, frowning slightly.“James… I…” Roger stammered nervously, his words catching in his throat and refusing to come out.“Are you here to apologize on behalf of your daughter?”“Something like that,” he said, finally managing to speak, though he made a face. “Would you let me talk to you?”“To me?” James asked, confused, pointing to himself. “About what?”“Can I invite you for a drink so we can talk?”“What do you want with my son?” At that moment, Roger saw his longtime rival approaching and standing next to the young man.“Jayden, please let me talk to James,” Roger pleaded.The now platinum-blonde looked confused at his rival. It was the first time Roger had called him by his name, and he could see that Roger seemed genuinely sorry and defeated. Jayden let out a sigh. “James, go with him.”“What?” James looked at him, surprised and confused.“Are you serious?” Roger said, a note of h

I think whatever happened last night should have made the situation clear.”“But…”“They no longer see me as family, and they never recognized you as such, so just forget about it because it’s only the three of us, no one else.”“No…”“Cassandra, enough,” her mother scolded. “I told you yesterday not to go, and all you did was humiliate yourselves in public,” she said, looking her daughter in the eyes. “Grow up already.

Extra 36: Late Regrets Part 1Roger didn’t return home for the rest of the night. He ignored the cries of his ‘daughter’ as he headed to the nearest bar to have a drink and try to clear his mind.Seeing his father defeated and exhausted had made him stop and think.While sipping his third beer, he raised his gaze and saw his reflection in the mirror behind the bar, realizing that an old man was staring back at him... which scared him. He now looked at his hands, which had more wrinkles than he remembered. When had he changed so much?His once beautiful hair was now streaked with gray, his face showed his age, and he had dark circles under his dull eyes.When had he gotten so old?And why did he look like this?He was supposed to age gracefully, but that wasn’t the case... because what he saw in that mirror was a shell of the successful man he once was.He thought back to James. That boy had surpassed him in height; he was the version of himself Roger had always wanted to be: ta

He was Roger’s spitting image, giving the latter the same hateful look Roger himself wore.“I should ask you the same thing, sir. Who do you think you are, crashing a private event?” James asked.Roger was about to respond, but…“What’s the meaning of this?” George asked, approaching them.“Grandpa, they attacked me, and…” Cassandra started to say.“Miss, don’t call my grandpa ‘Grandpa,’” declared Howard.“Tom, call security,” Eric ordered. “Get these two out of the party.”Among the guests, a blond young man recognized Cassandra but didn’t go to help her because his parents didn’t allow it.
