As they sat down at the table, Samantha and Eric noticed that Jayden and Deborah were acting as if nothing had happened earlier. They were chatting and eating as if the earlier argument was just a bad dream.

“Enough with this charade,” Eric said firmly.

“Is something wrong?” Nicholas asked, looking confused.

“You see, earlier…” Samantha began to explain.

“What happened earlier was just an act,” Deborah cut in.

“What?” the blond couple exclaimed in unison.

“What are you talking about? What did I miss?” Nicholas looked around, bewildered.

“Earlier, we were acting and arguing in public,” Jayden explained.

“Huh?”

“Acting? But…"

“Let us explain everything,” Deborah said, taking Jayden’s hand. “You see, everything we told you earlier and what happened today was a lie. We found out something concerning during lunch with Mr. George…”

-Flashback-

Jayden and Deborah had taken a seat at the table, deliberately positioning themselves far from Roger.

  • The Revenge of the Mute Wife   Chapter 217

    Marie was overjoyed when watching her interview on television. She couldn’t get enough of seeing the footage of the supposed happy couple arguing."It looks like their happiness wasn’t as genuine or everlasting as they claimed," she commented while sipping on a glass of champagne."I told you their happiness was fleeting," Sophia said."And luckily, my son is doing his part," Isabelle declared. "I’m glad to see he used his head and managed to fool that idiot by telling her he still wants her and all that romantic nonsense that impresses women like her.""By the way, has he planned what he’s going to do about the child?" Sophia asked. "I mean, Roger made it clear he doesn’t want him.""No idea. Maybe he’ll just throw him away because he doesn’t resemble my son, so I refuse to acknowledge him.""Well, looking at the baby’s photos, he does resemble her," Sophia said, noting that despite her dislike for the former mute woman, James was a very cute baby."I don’t care. Boys are suppo

    With the alert now in their possession, Deborah and Jayden started planning their next move. Their primary goal was to secure their most treasured possession.They began searching for a place to buy “it,” and now they were simply waiting for its arrival to set their plan into motion and deal with the three troublesome women.To avoid the press and the ongoing speculation about issues in the Cooper marriage, they stayed at home, enjoying their time together.Jayden took advantage of the moment to rest and spend more time with James.Deborah managed the company’s affairs through video calls.Four days had passed since the scandal, and that morning, Jayden woke up late, realizing he was alone in bed.“Ah… it feels so good to sleep in,” he commented as he left the room and headed to the kitchen for breakfast.“Good morning, dear,” Samantha greeted, reading the newspaper and sipping her coffee.“Morning, Mom,” Jayden approached and gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Where are Deborah an

    “Yep, check it out,” Jayden said excitedly, opening the box to reveal a bag of large building blocks.“Waaa…” James was thrilled at the sight of all the bright colors.“Wait… is the whole box filled with blocks?” Deborah asked, moving closer to see the contents of the box, which was about a meter tall.“Yep, I actually bought around 20 bags,” Jayden declared with excitement. “The idea is to build a huge castle.”“Wow… you really got into this, didn’t you?” Samantha said, looking at the toy bags.“Yes! And now we’re going to play, right, son?” Jayden said, trying to open a bag to dump its contents on the floor.“One moment,” Deborah said, taking the bag of toys away.“But, love…”“We’re not going to create a mess of blocks in the living room,” Deborah said, grabbing the box. “We’ll find a special room for block play.”“Nooo…” Jayden bemoaned.“Son, she’s right,” Eric said. “It’s better to play in a safe place to avoid accidents with the blocks.”“Well… I guess you’re right,”

    “Finally, they’ve left the house. I think they’re heading to the mall with the kid,” a male voice said over the phone.“Excellent. Keep watching them,” Marie instructed, ending the call and dialing Isabelle. “Hey, it’s time for your son to play his part. They’re at the mall with the little one.”“Perfect. And lucky for us, it’s his day off, so today is definitely our big day.”“Got it. I’ll see you at the south entrance so we can find them and start the show,” she said, finishing the call. “Well, let’s get ready. Today, Jayden will be back in my arms,” she said, striding toward her wardrobe to choose a very provocative outfit.Meanwhile, Deborah and Jayden had gone out to buy more clothes for James.They entered the mall casually and made their way to the baby boutique, where they began searching for summer clothes and a few formal outfits for when they went out.“Look at this,” Jayden said, holding up a green T-shirt with a cute brown bear face on it. “Do you like it?”“It’s ad

    “And so what?” Deborah frowned.“That…”“And what does it matter to you what we do or don’t do?” Deborah said, stepping closer to her beloved and placing herself between them. “And though it hurts, Jayden is the father of our child, and…”“Actually, you’re mistaken there,” a male voice interrupted from behind them.Deborah turned around in surprise to see Roger approaching.“I’m James’ father, and I hope you haven’t forgotten what we agreed on last night.”“What?” Jayden exclaimed angrily, grabbing her arm. “Deborah, what does this mean?”“Jayden… I… I actually made an agreement with Roger last night and…”“What? Are you serious?” he yelled, releasing her and stepping back. “Are you really going to let him near James? He never cared about him!”“Cooper, stop whining. No matter what you do, that child has my blood, so he will always be my son, no matter how much you try to deny it,” Roger said with a smile, moving closer to Deborah.“Stay away from them,” Jayden said, position

    At a safe distance from the commotion, Sophia and Isabelle watched the entire scene with smiles on their faces.“Poor thing, she’s lost her golden goose,” Sophia mocked, sipping her juice.“And now we just need to get rid of that kid,” Isabelle said, finishing her coffee.“I guess… but there’s something I don’t understand.”“What’s that?”“Roger is going to register him as his son?”“Obviously,” Isabelle said as she stood up and tossed her empty cup in the trash. “I need George to see that Roger is interested in the kid, so he can get his position back as president.”“I suppose you’re right, but what about me?” Sophia asked, mimicking her and throwing away her trash as they started walking to their vehicle.“For now, you’ll act like a loving stepmother and…”“Forget it… I don’t want to be changing diapers, especially not for a kid who isn’t mine.”“That’s already the case, you fool,” Isabelle snapped, annoyed. “But you need to say that to bother Deborah.”“Ah… got it.”“Onc

    “Let him go!” Isabelle demanded, moving in to help her son. She slapped Deborah, sending her sprawling to the ground and making her release the baby. Deborah scowled, glaring hatefully at Isabelle, who flinched under the intensity of that look. “Say another word and I swear you’ll never see your brat again,” Isabelle warned. “Talk about a hypocrite. Just a moment ago he was your grandchild, and now he’s just a brat.” “Obviously, because you’re so useless you couldn’t even give birth to a child who looks like my baby. Therefore, I can’t recognize him as my grandchild.” “Mom, enough.” “You shut up, Roger. I’m doing this for your own good,” Isabelle snapped. “With this brat on our side, we’ll reclaim everything that belongs to us.” “I’m not going to let you use my son as a bargaining chip! Give him back!” Deborah said, trying to advance towards Roger to take him back. But Sophia intervened, shoving her away. “Listen to my mother-in-law and step back,” Sophia ordered, laugh

    Isabelle smiled triumphantly as she saw the small lump on the ground, which had stopped crying after the impact. Sophia was in shock, staring at the baby’s body. It was one thing to say they’d get rid of him and another to make it a reality... Roger was equally stunned by what had happened, not believing his mother was capable of such an act. Deborah had fallen to her knees, her head lowered, silent and motionless. “Well, I think I’m satisfied now,” Isabelle said with a smug grin, dusting off her hands. “Yeah, I suppose you are,” Deborah said, struggling to stand while discreetly pulling something from her clothes. “Oh, come on. You’re still young, and I hope next time you’ll give birth to a child who actually looks like his father,” Isabelle said, adjusting her clothes. “You know, it’s funny what you’re saying,” Deborah said, lifting her gaze to meet Isabelle’s eyes. “Because if we follow that logic...” she said, pointing a gun at Roger, “then we should kill Roger becaus

    Extra 40: A Happy and Perfect Life Part 1Time began to pass quickly, bringing good, bad, and sad moments that gradually changed the family.One good thing that happened was that after much reflection, Roger managed to make peace with his father, asking for forgiveness for all the stupid things he had done when he was younger. 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.

    Extra 39: Deborah and JamesAfter lunch, and taking advantage of when his father taking his little siblings to their extracurricular activities, James sought out his mom to talk with her.“Mom,” he called out when he saw her in her study, reading some papers.“Hey, come in,” she said, looking up and setting aside the documents for a moment.“More work?”“Not exactly. 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

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.

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.

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.
