The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 

“Ah… what a mess,” Brandon said, ruffling his hair. He looked to his right before smirking. “The downside is that you’ve gotten free and dangerous information, Cooper,” he added, turning to face his guests. 

“In that case, I think we can negotiate my silence,” Jayden said with a smirk but quickly became serious when he saw several of the men guarding them pulling out their weapons and aiming at him. 

“Pfft, hahaha! Good one,” Brandon said, approaching to take a glass of water that had been left on the table. “Relax, guys, it was a joke,” he instructed, making everyone return to their positions and holster their weapons. “Come on, follow me,” he ordered Jayden and Nicholas. “We’ll go to my office to talk in private.” 

Jayden and Nicholas stood up and followed him in silence. 

Upon entering, they noticed the office was luxurious. Brandon settled on a sofa, and they mirrored him by sitting on the other sofa in the room to face each other. 

“Now-” Brandon began, but was interrupted as a beautiful redhead handed him a cup of coffee and left two more cups for the guests before moving away but not leaving the room. “Oh, thanks, my love. Ah… delicious. Nothing like a good Mexican black coffee.” 

“Well, if you’re a fan of bitter coffee, I recommend trying the ‘vampire coffee‘ they sell on 60th Street. It has a weird name, but it’s delicious,” Nicholas suggested as he took a sip from his own cup. 

“Hm… thanks for the tip, Mr. Nicholas Foster. I’m always on the lookout for good coffee shops,” Brandon said. “Take note, darling, and later bring me one of those,” he said to the woman without looking at her. 

She just noted something on her phone and put it back in her clothes. 

“I’m surprised you know my name,” Nicholas said. 

“In this business, I need to know the names of everyone living here to identify potential allies or threats to my business in the short and long term,” Brandon said, taking another sip of his drink. “But back to the matter at hand, tell me, what brings the richest man in this country and his father–in–law to visit?” 

“I’ll get straight to the point,” Jayden said, setting his coffee cup aside. “I want you to do a search.” 

“Hm interesting. And may I ask what it is you’re searching for? Because you can also control the city, so I don’t understand why you need me…” 

“I want the exact location of my mother–in–law’s body. 

Brandon became serious at that request. “Heh… I didn’t know you were into necrophilia.” 

“Have some respect!” Nicholas said angrily, standing up. But he saw that the woman was now standing next to him with a gun to his head. 

“Father–in–law, please,” Jayden pleaded, making him sit back down. 

Brandon simply gestured for his bodyguard to put away his weapon and return to his position. 

“You’re twisted,” Jayden joked. “But the reason I’m asking is because you have the best trackers, and your long reach can break the barrier of time,” he said, clenching his fists. “That bastard never buried her, and I want to know where her remains are so my fiancée can be reunited with her.”

Brandon was surprised by this explanation. “Wow Frederick is quite a character,” he said, looking at his drink before raising his eyes to meet Jayden’s. “So tell me, what do you offer?” 

“What do you want?” 

“Hm… I love when people give me that answer,” Brandon said, setting aside his drink. “Well… since you’re asking, I want you to give me your beautiful flancéo.” 

Nicholas was about to say something, but was stopped by Jayden, who grabbed his arm to prevent him from reacting to the obvious provocation. 

“Deborah is not a commodity that you can covet, and I know you must already have in mind what you want, so just tell me what it is.” 

“Haha, you seem to know me very well,” Brandon said, knowing they had been classmates in the past, only for their friendship to end when Jayden discovered his family secret. “In that case, don’t ask me what I want and just give that to me.” 

“It will hurt to give up my queen, but I accept,” Jayden said, reaching into his jacket pocket. 

“Jayden!” Nicholas shouted, frowning. “My daughter is not a bargaining chip.”
