The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32 

Amid scandals and rough times for both families, the dreaded day of the trial arrived. 

It was the moment of truth, and everyone had one thing on their minds: getting revenge on Deborah. They swore that as soon as they saw her in court, they’d make her regret her stupid actions that had caused them so many problems. 

Isabelle was most upset because her friends were ignoring her, frustrating her to no end. – 

“Son, as soon as you see that mute, don’t hesitate to punish her for what she did,” 

Isabelle instructed Roger as 50t out of the car. The entire family had 

accompanied Roger to the trial. 

“You’re not going to do anything,” George scolded as he shut the car door. 

“Mom, it’s embarrassing to hear you talk like that,” Elliot said, standing beside his father after getting out. 

“Don’t you dare judge me. Show me some respect,” Isabelle declared angrily. 

“Then behave yourself, woman. God… it’s true what they say: a woman’s worst enemy is another woman,” George commented, glaring at his wife. 

Isabelle scowled at her husband’s comment and said nothing more as she noticed many reporters approaching them for interviews. 

They had to push past several reporters, ignoring the many who started asking confusing and complicated questions. 

Upon entering, they saw that the room was already filled with people, mostly gossip lovers and reporters. 

Following the Petersons were the Andersons, catching everyone’s attention. People began pointing and whispering about the latter. 

“This is embarrassing,” Cassandra whispered, noticing some of her so–called friends were present, seemingly mocking her. Cassandra was infuriated. 

“As soon as I see Deborah, I swear I’ll hit her. I faced the worst humiliation 

yesterday when my friends turned their backs on me and threw me out of the club like a bloody beggar,” Ernest complained, clenching his fists tightly. 

“Shut up and stop talking,” Fredrick scolded them.

“Fredrick, why are you scolding our children? They’re just speaking the truth.” 

“Vanessa, use your brain. Some reporters can read lips, and I’m sure you don’t want more scandals.” 

The Andersons discreetly glanced around and noticed several reporters watching them closely. With pursed lips to remain silent, the Andersons took their seats near the Petersons. 

Rogersat in his assigned seat next to his lawyer. Looking to his right, he saw that neither Deborah nor her supposed lawyer had arrived. 

“Seems like the sex she gave her lawyer wasn’t enough to make him show up to the trial,” Roger remarked arrogantly, raising his voice slightly to ensure everyone heard. He was hoping to paint Deborah as the villain before proceedings began. 

His comment sparked another wave of murmurs among the audience. 

Just then, the door opened, and Christian and Caroline entered. Roger scowled and rolled his eyes at the sight of Caroline. Of course the mute’s friend would be present at the trial. Maybe she was the one who planted the stupid idea of divorce in Deborah’s head. 

“Psst… boss,” his lawyer called. 

“What?” 

“That man is your wife’s lawyer.”
