All Chapters of The Revenge of the Mute Wife: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Deborah had a broad smile on her face as she left the doctor's office with Jayden. The examination revealed that the damage to her throat wasn't severe enough to require a risky surgery. "Technology has helped medicine a lot. This non-surgical operation is something new to me," Jayden remarked as they exited the building. [It certainly would be faster to have the surgery but I don’t want to do it because of the baby. According to the doctor, he’ll carefully remove the tissue blocking my vocal cords bit by bit, trying not to reopen the wound.] "That sounds complicated, but you seem very happy and excited about it." [I’ve been longing to hear words that give me hope for years.] "You know, now I'm going to be jealous of the doctor," Jayden commented as he opened the car door for her. [What? Why?] Deborah asked playfully as Jayden got into the car. "Because I’ve never seen that radiant smile on you before," Jayden said while buckling his seatbelt. [I’m just thrilled to rega

"That’s true, you’re your mom’s spitting image," Caroline said, leaning in to look at the photo. "Let me see," Elliot requested. "Yes, Deborah is the living image of Alexandra," Nicholas commented amusedly. "By the way, Christian..." "Yes?" Christian replied, also looking at the photo. "I heard from George that you’re looking into crushing those usurping worms," Nicholas said, looking Christian in the eye. "But if you’re relying on that old will, you won’t win." "Old will?" Christian repeated, surprised. "I think you’re mistaken, Nicholas. The copy I got was from the government archives and..." He trailed off as Nicholas handed him a folder to read. "It’s a fake will. It was created with specific terms to catch Frederick’s attention and keep him busy trying to circumvent them." "But... wait, this date..." Christian said, noticing the detail. [What’s wrong?] Deborah asked. "As a lawyer, you know that the most recent will is the valid one," George explained. "The one yo

Sophia felt a mix of anger and anxiety. It had been four days since she kicked out that idiot Roger, and he still hadn't returned to see her. Adding to her frustration, she found out that the medical bill hadn't been paid—the hospital was now threatening to call the police if it wasn't settled soon. "This has to be a joke! You kill your own child and now you abandon me?" She fumed, waiting for Roger to answer her call. "Damn it, pick up!" "I told you not to push him too hard," her friend mocked from beside her, flipping through a magazine. "Shut up. He loves me and owes me his life and eternal gratitude." "Doubtful. Maybe he's not coming to see you because his mom already told him the truth about your lie." Sophia hung up after the tenth unanswered call, gripped the phone tightly, and snapped at her friend, "You know, I didn't ask for your opinion." "Why don't you just use some of the money you stole from him and pay it off?" Sophia’s friend asked. "Why don’t you pay my h

Since the meeting with Nicholas and George, a week had passed. Things got more complicated as Christian and Caroline formulated a new plan against the Andersons. ‘Why does everything have to be so complicated?’ Deborah thought, letting out a sigh as she stood up to stretch a bit after working on her computer. Everyone had been busy with paperwork, silently reclaiming all her family’s properties and putting them under James’s name. The plan was to attack Frederick and his family legally later on. While the plan made sense to her, it also filled her with fear. Putting everything in her son’s name was risky, just like Alexandra did with her. Coupled with Frederick’s greed, her mother ended up dead. What if Deborah suffered the same fate as her mother? What would happen to her baby? Would James be handed over to Frederick with the pathetic excuse of being his grandfather? Would they give him to Vanessa to raise? Deborah doubted Vanessa would ever care for the baby with love and ten

"You're right. If it's my mom’s special color, I know where we should start. Come on," Jayden declared excitedly, taking Deborah's hand to guide her along the garden path. They arrived at a large glass greenhouse filled with multicolored roses. In the center were garden furniture and a large wall with a painting of a beautiful mountain landscape. "Look, this painting is her favorite because my dad made it and gave it to her on their first wedding anniversary." [It's beautiful.] Deborah admired the painting. Then she noticed something different. [Jayden, look in the lower right corner.] Jayden looked and spotted a new envelope, which was green. "Good eye," he said with a smile as he took the envelope and opened it. "Let's see, next clue: For love, nothing better than a flower... but which flower is the right one?" [That’s very specific.] "Well, not exactly. It’s tricky because my mom loves roses, and as you can see, the entire garden is filled with roses of different colors and
