The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176 

Ever since Jayden, Christian, and Nicholas escaped the chaos in the courtroom, they had joined the search for Frederick and Vanessa. 

They became part of the detective’s team and were even given bulletproof vests for their protection, as it wasn’t clear whether Frederick and Vanessa had taken advantage of the situation on their own or if someone was helping them. 

During the search, Nicholas disappeared from sight. They assumed he had gone to rest without telling them due to his age, so they didn’t think much of it. 

As the sun began to set, they still had no news of the pair or any clue about where they might be hiding. 

Given the time, Christian and Jayden decided to leave the matter in the detective’s hands, as they were worried about their wives. 

The detective understood and assured them that he would keep them informed of any developments. 

But when they returned to where they had left their wives, they found that both the women and the officers assigned to guard them were gone. 

They first tried to reach them by phone, but all they got was a message that the phones were off or out of 

service. 

“Do you 

think something happened to them?” Jayden asked, panic rising in his voice. 

“C’mon, Jayden, calm down… Maybe their batteries died, and that’s why they’re not answering,” Christian tried to reassure him. 

“Even so, I won’t be at ease until I have Deborah in my arms.” 

“I get it; I’m a bit anxious too. Wait, let me call my in–laws.” 

“Why?” 

“They live nearby. Maybe Carrie took Deborah there to rest.” 

“Right, good idea. Ask them.” 

Christian sighed as he pulled out his phone to call his in–laws… only to find out the ladies hadn’t gone there either, and now his in–laws were worried too. 

“Now what?” Jayden groaned. 

“Now I’m in trouble because my in–laws are on their way, and they sounded pretty worried,” Christian replied, frowning. 

“Oops… sorry. Ah! Wait, I know… I’ll call my parents and…” Jayden began, reaching for his phone. 

“No,” Christian stopped him. “Don’t. They’re your parents… You already know how they’ll react if they find out, right?” 

“Uh… I guess.” 

“Don’t call them, or you’ll just make them worry.”

*Tch… so what do we do? Because… oh wait, do you think they went home?” 

“It’s a bit far, but it’s possible- 

“Alright, then let’s go,” Jayden declared, sprinting toward his car before Christian could finish speaking. 

“Hey! Wait for me!” Christian called out, running after him. “I’ll let my in–laws know to meet us at the house. 

The moment Christian sat in the car and closed the door behind him, Jayden stepped on the gas, his nerves getting the best of him. He couldn’t shake the thought of the Turners‘ twisted plans–to steal James and leave Deborah to die. He wouldn’t be at peace until he held his beloved in his arms. 

When they arrived at the house, they noticed the lights were off, but they still went inside to check the place. 

After searching all the rooms, they came out more frustrated and anxious than before, as they had no idea where the women could be. 

“Chris…” Christian’s in–laws arrived, looking concerned, 

“Son, what happened? Any news about them?” his father–in–law asked. 

“No, sir… the houses are empty.” 

“Oh God… where could those girls have gone?” his mother–in–law wondered aloud. “Leaving you worry like this.”

“The problem isn’t that they went off on their own,” Jayden said, “but with those killers on the loose, I’m really worried about their safety.” 

“Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll turn up soon,” Christian’s mother–in–law said, trying to comfort her son–in–law and Jayden. 

Christian accompanied his in–laws back to their house, while Jayden made several calls trying to find out what had happened to the women. 

A few minutestater, Christian rejoined him. 

“How are your in–laws?” 

“They offered to make dinner while we waited for Debble and Carrie to show up,” Christian said with a sigh. “Any news?” 

“No… but I called a few people who might be able to help us find them and Jayden started to say when he noticed his father–in–law’s car pulling up in front of them. 

“Good evening, boys,” Nicholas greeted them cheerfully as he got out of the car, which surprised them. 

“Nicholas, where were you?” Jayden asked, puzzled. In all the time he’d known Nicholas he’d never seen him this happy. 

“It’s a secret, but instead of questioning me, help me out because I can’t carry them,” Nicholas replied, opening the backseat doors. 

“What?” Christian and Jayden rushed over and saw Caroline and Deborah sleeping inside.

“Their phones ran out of battery so I picked them up because Deborah said she was hungry.” 

“Oh… I see. Thanks, Nicholas,” Jayden said, carefully getting into the car to lift his beloved out.
