The Revenge of the Mute Wife Chapter 172
Their ears were ringing as they slowly opened their eyes, their eyelids heavy and their bodies in excruciating pain.Pain dominated their senses, but Frederick forced himself to keep his eyes open.Everything seemed to spin, but as he managed to focus, he saw that his wife had a head wound.“Vanessa…” he began, trying to touch her face and wake her up.Vanessa, feeling the contact, slowly opened her eyes. “Ah… Frederick?” She was so disoriented that it was hard for her to keep her eyes open.“No… don’t fall asleep, wake up and help me.”“What…?”“I can’t feel my legs.”At his words, Vanessa snapped awake. As she looked around, she saw the chaos left behind after crashing into the tree. She noticed she had only a few superficial injuries, but when she looked at Frederick, she saw a metal rod impaled in his right leg.She gasped and tried to scream, but Frederick's stern look silenced her.“Don’t you dare. I’m not in the mood for your screams… so instead of wasting your energy,

“What…” The couple stared, bewildered and confused. The sight of the burning person meant the cries they heard were real and not just a recording.But they had no time to process this revelation because the human torch was running toward them.“Help me… please… please…” The person didn’t make it to them, collapsing face down on the ground, lifeless, as the heat caused a cardiac arrest.Frederick and Vanessa trembled as the body fell just a few steps away.They watched as the fire naturally went out, leaving behind a nearly unrecognizable figure. Vanessa thought she was used to what bodies looked like, but something inside her urged her to approach.“Vanessa, no…” Frederick tried to stop her.Ignoring him, she turned the body to see its face, or what was left of it…When she saw who it was, a deep pain gripped her chest as she shook her head and began to tremble.“Nooooo!” she cried, covering her face with her hands and pulling at her hair before reaching out to touch the burned

Frederick's face darkened as he glared at the note. He recognized it immediately—it was something they used when families of their victims didn't follow their instructions to the letter. In such cases, even after receiving the ransom, they would kill the victims to remind everyone of their power."No, no, my children!" Vanessa cried, pressing her daughter's head to her chest. "My babies… no…""Why are you crying?" a voice cut through her anguish.As they turned, they saw about ten people standing before them, dressed in black suits and hiding their identities with motorcycle helmets and body gloves. Each held a baseball bat or metal pipe."You—" Frederick started, his anger bubbling over."Hey Vanessa, tell me, did you enjoy how I handed over your daughter?" one of the masked figures asked, ignoring Frederick entirely."Monster, how could you?" Vanessa shouted, her face twisted with fury as she set her daughter's head down and stood, fists clenched, ready to confront the killer.

The search for the fugitives stretched into the late afternoon until an anonymous tip that night led the police to something peculiar on one of the roads out of the city.Following the lead, Alistair and his team arrived at the scene, which resembled a horror movie set: a tree, a charred corpse and a burned car; a mutilated woman inside two suitcases; and two distorted, wrecked bodies."Chief…" a police officer said, his voice trembling as he took in the scene.Some officers felt an intense urge to vomit upon seeing the bodies; they were so mangled it was hard to believe they had once been human."I see it," Alistair sighed. "Secure the area, check for nearby cameras, and…""Chief!" One of the officers ran up to him. "The mutilated body belongs to Cassandra Turner.""What? That’s impossible. She’s in prison," another officer said."Chief!""Now what?" Alistair asked, looking at the new officer who had approached."We’ve just been notified that Cassandra Turner disappeared from

Ever since Jayden, Christian, and Nicholas escaped the chaos in the courtroom, they had joined the search for Frederick and Vanessa.They became part of the detective's team and were even given bulletproof vests for their protection, as it wasn't clear whether Frederick and Vanessa had taken advantage of the situation on their own or if someone was helping them.During the search, Nicholas disappeared from sight.

The next morning, Deborah woke up feeling a little disoriented and scared, as her last memory was lying down to rest in the room that girl had offered her.She felt someone holding her, so she quickly turned around, a little startled, but the fear vanished when she saw it was Jayden.This confused her, but as she looked around and analyzed her surroundings, she realized she was in her own bedroom."Good morning," she heard Jayden say, and she looked up to meet his warm, chocolate-colored eyes, filled with love."Good morning," she replied, shifting slightly to give him a kiss on the lips."Are you okay?""Yes, why do you ask?""It’s just that you disappeared for a while yesterday, and I was worried about you especially since your phone was off.""Don’t worry, we’re fine," she said, taking his hand and placing it on her belly so he could feel their little one."Heh... I see someone else is awake," he said, feeling the baby’s kicks. "Good morning, son.""He’s awake and craving

That same morning, every news outlet was talking about the horrific deaths of the Turner family. Many news channels even claimed to have exclusive photos of the state in which the bodies of the four family members were found.There was much speculation about how the events unfolded, but since the police didn’t provide further details, the topic gradually faded from public attention.Days began to pass, and everyone was waiting for some new scandal or news to feed the city's curiosity.Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait long. With the arrival of a new season, people were kept entertained by new trends and fashions that began to emerge.But not everyone was happy. One of those discontented people was Roger.At that moment, he felt incredibly frustrated because he had gone from having everything to being just a simple appraiser in a pawn shop.It was the only job that recognized any of his qualifications... and that was simply pathetic.Damn the moment his perfect life went to h

"Your card?"Sophia grimaced and handed it over.Roger took the card and entered the details into the system. "I can offer you 1,500.""What? Why? That necklace is worth at least 5,000! Or don’t you know how to tell a genuine diamond?""Of course I do, but in its current state, the diamonds look dull due to wear, sweat, and makeup residue," he explained, showing her the flaws he mentioned. "And here, you can see where the metal has been scratched by other pawn shops, so this piece is already damaged and won’t fetch much in resale. Plus, your history shows you’ve never reclaimed any of your pawned items."Sophia gritted her teeth, feeling humiliated as she noticed the other employees snickering at Roger’s words. "Are you trying to get revenge on me?""I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m just telling you what the system says.""Liar.""I’m not, but don’t think I don’t want to get back at you for stealing and scamming me out of a lot of money. Now that I think about it...

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

Extra 36: Late Regrets Part 2The next morning, during breakfast, Roger was focused on his phone, determined to reach out to James and be the one to make the first contact.“Hey, Dad,” Cassandra called out, trying to get his attention, noticing he was more focused on his phone than his breakfast.“What is it?” Roger asked, looking up.“Well... hey, what are we going to do about last night?”“What?” he said with a frown.“Come on, Dad, aren’t you going to do something about Grandpa and—”“Casandra, enough... 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
