The Revenge of the Mute Wife Chapter 153
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

“That’s true, especially since James might get uncomfortable,” Caroline agreed.“Hey, don’t whisper secrets like this. Remember, everyone’s watching us,” Christian teased with a grin.“Shh, this is girl talk,” Caroline chided him playfully.Christian and Jayden exchanged amused glances, shaking their heads. It was true that several reporters had noticed Deborah’s presence in the courtroom and were paying close attention to her conversation. However, upon realizing the discussion revolved around motherhood, they lost interest in digging deeper.Suddenly, a buzz of excitement rippled through the room. The doors swung open, and the “Anderson couple” entered, dressed to the nines. Despite their handcuffs, they strutted in with the confidence of victors.Deborah’s eyes narrowed at their smug display, all her fears vanishing in an instant. These monsters were not, and never had been, her family. They were nothing more than murderers who destroyed her real family and kidnapped her for th

“Please take your seats. We’ll begin by hearing from Attorney Herman Roberts,” the judge announced, adjusting his papers.“Thank you, Your Honor,” Herman said as he stood and began addressing the jury and the gallery. “First, I’d like to clarify the misunderstanding regarding my clients’ use of the Anderson name. You see, they loved Ms. Anderson so much that, to make her feel like she truly belonged to their family, they decided to adopt her surname. They wanted to create a harmonious, safe, and loving environment for her.”Deborah crossed her arms and rolled her eyes at the blatant lie.“Objection,” Christian called out, standing up.“And why is that?”“Well, I hate to interrupt your little soap opera,” Christian said sarcastically, glaring at his opponent, “but nothing you’ve said is true. This pair of lowlifes never loved Deborah. They kidnapped her, robbing her of a life with her real father, all to steal the Anderson family’s fortune. A fortune they failed to obtain when Ms.

"Well, when she requested an appointment, I reviewed her medical records and discovered that her last visit to the hospital was when she was discharged at the age of ten after the accident."That statement caused many in the courtroom to start murmuring."Silence!" the judge ordered, striking his desk with the gavel."Objection," Herman interjected with a hint of sarcasm. "This information is relevant because…?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow. "And no offense to your expertise," he added, addressing the doctor, "but there are many children without detailed medical records, and that doesn’t necessarily indicate neglect.""Perhaps my specialty is different, but as someone who studied general medicine, I know that after an accident, a patient should have at least a year of follow-up care to prevent any long-term issues that might not be immediately apparent due to swelling of muscles and organs," Dr. Martin responded, frowning. "For instance, when a child breaks an arm, they don’t

"Thank you for your testimony, doctor," the judge said, dismissing the doctor."Congratulations, my dear. I told you I’d cure you," the doctor said as he approached Deborah, taking her hands and smiling warmly. She responded with a soft thank you and a grateful smile.With that, the elderly man found a seat among the spectators to listen to the rest of the trial."Attorney Roberts, it’s your turn," the judge stated."Let’s hope it is, and that I’m not interrupted again by Attorney Collins," Herman replied, still a bit irritated."…" Christian merely smirked, crossing his arms, relishing the feeling of outmaneuvering Herman."Maybe my clients were complete idiots for not taking you to a doctor," Herman said, approaching Deborah and ignoring his clients' protests, "but they believed they were doing the right thing because your mother named them as your legal guardians.""That’s a lie," Deborah snapped, glaring at the lawyer."Order.""Deborah, calm down…" Christian urged, gently

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

Extra 38: A Father’s FearsHonestly, it was a strange conversation for James, one he never thought he’d have… in fact, not even in his wildest dreams did he imagine having this kind of interaction with the man who was supposedly his biological father.After telling him a bit about his school life, James paid the bill and said goodbye to Roger, as he had to get back to the office; he didn’t want to be away from work for too long.When he entered the conference room, he saw his father talking to some other architects.“Great, we’re all set then,” Jayden said, dismissing them. “Son, how did it go?” he asked as James approached him.“Fine, but it was weird.”“So... has he started to feel his age?”“I think so,” James replied, making a face.“And what did he want?”“Well, he just started talking to me, apologizing for being absent, and now he wants us to meet up to talk because he wants to get to know me,” James said, scratching his head. “I don’t know… it seemed odd that he wants

Extra 37: A Late Talk Part 2“Wow, sorry for the confusion.”“Don’t worry about it. 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

Extra 37: A Late Talk Part 1“I’ll ask you again. 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. You lost that boy because you chased something that

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

Extra 35: Total BreakElliot was furious to see Roger and his daughter at the party.“Why did you hurt my daughter?” Roger hadn’t recognized James and just wanted to help his princess. “Who do you think you are…?” Then he saw James and, how could he not recognize him? 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. They didn’t want to end up caught in the middle of the problem and become collateral damage, nor did they want to fall out
