The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115 

The next day, for the first time, Jayden lled to Deborah, telling her he was going to work. In reality, he met with his father–in–law to go see the man; It would be easier to ask Vox to find Alexandra than to wait for Frederick to tell the truth. 

“You look to be in a sorry state, kid. What’s wrong? Nicholas asked, noticing that his companion seemed a bit depressed. 

“It’s the first lie I’ve told Deborah, and I don’t like it. It makes me feel like I’m turning into Roger,” Jayden said, letting out a sigh 

“Oh come on, Jayden, don’t be dramatic. If you were becoming like him, I’d be a stunning blonde with a large forehead,” Nicholas said, pretending to be coquettish as he flipped his short hair and blinked rapidly. 

“Pfft… hahaha.” Jayden couldn’t help but laugh at the poor imitation. Thanks. I think that’s what I needed.” 

“You’re welcome. Now let’s get serious because we’re about to arrive.” 

“Yes D Don’t worry, my father gave me this card that was handed to him in case we wanted to request something.” Jayden said, showing him a personalized card with a strange logo and his family’s surname. 

“From everything I’ve heard, this guy is a box of surprises.” 

Jayden simply nodded and continued driving until they reached the same place where Deborah had been taken to the day before. 

As soon as they got out of their cars, some movement behind them alerted them, and when they turned around, they saw they were surrounded by ten armed men wearing hats, dark glasses, and masks. 

“Gentlemen, I think you’re lost. If you value your lives, get back in your car and turn around,” one of the 

men declared. 

Nicholas raised his hands to show that he was unarmed, as he was frightened by the guns pointed at them. However, that security demonstrated that they were at the right place. 

“Gentlemen, I must inform you that I haven’t made a mistake. I’m here to talk with your boss about a business,” Jayden said. 

“I think you’re mistaken. There’s no one here to negotiate with.” 

“There is, and the proof is this invitation,” Jayden said, pulling out a golden card with black letters from his jacket pocket. 

The man he was speaking with approached to take the object and examine it. Seeing that it was real, he signaled for his companions to put away their weapons. “Welcome, Mr. Cooper and Mr. Foster,” he said, holstering his own weapon. “Please come this way and make yourselves comfortable while we inform the boss of your presence. 

Jayden and Nicholas felt they could breathe again as they followed the man in silence. 

When they reached what appeared to be a waiting room, two men approached them to search their bodies for weapons or microphones. 

“All clear,” the men announced.

“I feel like I’ve been groped,” Nicholas said, adjusting his clothes. 

“It’s protocol. We hate sples and traitors, you see,” the guide mentioned. “As an apology, you can enjoy a good drink.” 

At that, they saw a woman, who was dressed provocatively, setting two glasses of water, whiskey, and red wine on the table. 

“You can choose whatever you like, gentlemen. If you need anything else, don’t hesitate to call me,” she said with a flirtatious tone and a wink before leaving. 

Both took a seat and grabbed one of the drinks to try to forget the tension in the room. Despite being alone, they could feel that they were being watched. 

After a minute, a loud noise caught their attention as they began to hear shouting from a nearby room and even saw some objects flying out of that place. 

“If you’re going to be an idiot, are you really going to treat me this way?” a female voice complained. It sounded somewhat familiar to Jayden. 

He discreetly looked toward the source of the shouting and was surprised to see Sophia there, arguing with a blond man. 

“Obviously? You don’t have the money to pay for my services, and I must remind you that you still haven’t paid back the money you borrowed last time,” the blond man said. 

“I don’t owe you anything. As family, you’re supposed to support me.” 

“You’re abusing that title, Sophia,” he replied, frowning. 

“I’m not abusing anything, Brandon. You know you should take care of me as your younger sister, but you’re just leaving me to my fate, and…” 

“And whose fault is that?” he interrupted. “May I remind you that a few years ago, you yelled at our parents that you were fed up with this life full of misery and that you were leaving this place to become a rich woman?” he said angrily. “You cared more about your ambition than helping us take care of Mom, who was sick at that time.”
