The Revenge of the Mute Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

The day before had been very relaxing for Deborah. So today, she was determined to work towards properly owning this house, to make it her new home. After breakfast, she calculated how much savings she needed to buy the house from Jayden. She also wanted to make sure she had enough to get him a thank-you gift.Her calculations were interrupted when she checked the time—she had an online appointment with a client to discuss their tax declaration for this bimester. Deborah closed her notebook and logged into the online platform.‘Now that I have more time on my hands, I can easily handle four clients a day.’ She smiled—she had been handling a total of 20 clients per week without any issues before this.Once the appointment was over, she started drafting her report to send it to her boss.With this increase in clients, and if she saved her money well, she could have enough to pay for the upcoming hospital bills; the necessary clothes, furniture, and other items for her baby; the curre

Meanwhile…Roger wasn't having a good time. His father had followed through with the threat and demoted him—he wasn't a department head anymore. Now he had less money because his salary reflected his new role: a basic employee.That only meant more problems and stress for him because Sophia couldn’t be bothered about any of that—she wanted to keep spending money as usual and now she was asking him for more, using her pregnancy as an excuse.After leaving work, he went home because he didn't feel like seeing anyone at the moment. He had been ignoring Sophia's constant calls all morning—she had truly become a nuisance."Ah... give me a break..." he complained, throwing his phone on his bed. He was tired of seeing messages like [Roger, my love, I need you... Can you give me money? Why aren't you here? I feel lonely... Hey, when will you give me a little gift...?] And that was only the tip of the iceberg in the number and types of messages she sent him.He cursed himself... he should

Those who once despised Deborah and wished her dead were now desperately searching for her because they realized she was more than a nuisance. She was the key to a comfortable life—a life they had taken for granted and no longer wanted to live without.However, the ones who suffered the most from her disappearance were Deborah's relatives. They had conveniently claimed to be her family but had never cared about her well-being. And now they were going crazy, moving heaven and earth to find her.Unfortunately for them, they had no idea where to start looking or who to ask about her whereabouts. Because, to them, Deborah didn’t have any friends."Still nothing?" Frederick asked, nervous because he didn't have the money to pay his share of that supposed big business he was investing in."No, Dad," Ernest grimaced. "My friend can't do a proper investigation because that stupid woman doesn't even have a social media presence to start an internet search.""What about the email she create

"Dad, I'm heading out too," Elliot said, trying to disguise his excitement."Alright, son, it's almost lunchtime anyway," George said, noticing what Elliot was trying to hide. "Do you want to eat together?""Sorry, Dad, I already have plans.""Okay, be careful. Remember to come back on time because as a boss, you should set an example.""Got it," Elliot declared happily, then turned around and started running to the designated place mentioned in that message.The meeting place was a restaurant, so when Elliot arrived, he asked for a table for two in a somewhat secluded area for more privacy.Once seated, he sent a message to that person to let them know he had already secured a table. Elliot felt a little anxious yet happy because his sister-in-law had finally contacted him. He enjoyed her company and saw her as the sister he never had.While waiting, he ordered food for both of them. After about five minutes, someone tapped his shoulder, startling him a little. Elliot whipped

The days began to pass quickly, and despite Roger and his lawyer's best efforts to prevent it, news of the trial became public. Now, all the media were digging for details about the big scandal, which meant that the families involved started getting harassed by curious reporters.In addition, gossip spread quickly within the Peterson Group."So…now he's just an ordinary employee.""He deserves it.""Yeah, God, it was disgusting to see that stupid blonde parading around like she owned the place.""It's good that traitors get what they deserve.""Now that he doesn't have money, he doesn't feel so untouchable anymore."Roger frowned, gripping the pencil tightly and breaking it in the process—those ‘idiots’ were talking as if he wasn't just meters away from them.‘When I become president again, I'll fire all of you. You'll see, I'll make you suffer,’ Roger thought, cursing his so-called colleagues."Hey, you're here to work, so cut the gossip," Edgar's voice came, scolding his sub
