The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson

Unbeknownst to the couple, someone had been following them, recording their conversation and snapping several incriminating photos. Satisfied with the evidence, the person called their boss to report back.

"Perfect. Come back to the office safely," the boss said, ending the call. The sapphire eyes of the man with jet-black hair flared, bis anger evident.

"This is good news for you as a lawyer. With this evidence, we'll win the case," commented his red-haired colleague. "Your reputation will soar with this lawsuit. "I'm not doing it for the fame. She's my wife's friend, and I offered to help because it's unjust for her to be treated that way," he said, putting on his jacket. "Where are you going, Christian?" the redhead asked.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm going to see my client, inform her about this discovery, and possibly get her out of there because her life is in danger."

"In that case, I'll expedite a restraining order with today's recording." His friend. started to draft the document on his computer.

"Great! Honestly, knowing how crazy he is, I wouldn't be surprised if he drags her back to 'that place' by force."

"Rich people make me sick, thinking they're untouchable just because their parents. made a fortune."

"Yeah, well, I'm counting on you," Christian said, heading out:

"I'll email you the signed order as soon as it's ready."

"Okay," Christian replied. The moment he left office, he called his wife to inform her to explain the situation. They were to meet up at Deborah's place.

Meanwhile, Deborah was blissfully unaware of the storm brewing. Her conversation. with Jayden had lifted her spirits considerably. Though Caroline was supportive, she couldn't be around all the time. Having another person to talk to without being scolded for using sign language was a blessing.

Deborah turned on the TV to catch the news and took out the dinner Roger hadn't eaten the previous night, repurposing it into sandwiches.

Once the sandwiches

were ready, she sat at the table with the notebook she used to

meticulously track household expenses. She had to stretch the modest monthly amount Roger gave her to cover the household expenses, usually banking on supermarket discounts and offers.

She felt pathetic-being the wife of a multimillionaire CEO yet having to hunt for daily deals just to eat. But she didn't complain; she was able to put her accounting skills to good use, especially since Roger had forbidden her from working.

After balancing the accounts and eating, she washed the dishes and took out the laptop Caroline had gifted her. She had found a legal loophole in Roger's restrictions, allowing her to work from home as an accountant. Through a government website, she offered her services to small businesses, earning more with the increasing number of clients she had.

This initiative started because Caroline was frustrated by how financially restricted Deborah was. She could hardly make decent household purchases, let alone buy things for herself. With Caroline's assistance and encouragement, Deborah found earning her own money not only provided financial independence but also gave her a sense of purpose and joy. 1

Now that she had decided to proceed with the divorce, her job and savings would help her live comfortably. And since she was expecting, she would have to work harder.

'Forgive me, my child... I thought your arrival would change your father, but Aunt Carrie is right. We need to get away from him.' Deborah placed a hand on her belly. You and I will be happy. I won't let anyone trample over me. I'll be a good mother and role model to you.' Motivated, she applied for more work and started researching apartment rentals and hospital costs. She wanted to ensure she could pay a year's rent upfront and cover the impending medical expenses.

Despite it all, a part of her was sad to have to go through this phase of life alone. But Roger had changed so much-he wasn't the sweet boy she had fallen in love with as

a child.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

She pushed up the sleeve of her blouse, revealing a horrible scar on her shoulder. Roger might have blamed this scar for ruining their wedding night, but to Deborah, it was a reminder of the time she had saved his life when they were children. 17:07 Sat Aug 3
