The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69 

“We’re here with Mr. Frederick Anderson, the father of Roger’s ex–wife,” the presenter announced. “Tell us, Mr. Anderson, what’s happening right now?” 

“Thank you, William. Since the divorce trial, Mr. George Peterson has been sending his lawyers to extort me, claiming I owe him a substantial amount of money that he supposedly lent to my family. Not a day goes by without receiving threatening calls from him.” 

“So, this means the Petersons are vindictive people?” 

“You could say so. I only hope that this recent turn of events will humble the Peterson family.” 

“And what do you think about the news of Roger’s current partner suffering a miscarriage?” 

“Well, he has been a violent person, and I’m thankful my daughter freed herself from him and…” 

“Damn it,” George muttered, switching off the television. 

“How hypocritical. They never cared about Debbie,” Elliot remarked, his brow furrowed. 

“I agree with Elliot. That animal only cared about coming every month to borrow money,” Fabian spoke angrily. 

“Dad, we can’t let them get away with this. They’re tarnishing our name and defaming you as well.” 

“Oh, son… don’t worry. Let him say whatever he wants,” George said, anger evident in his words. “It seems Frederick has forgotten who he’s dealing with.” 

“Dad…” Elliot started to feel a little scared, seeing his father in this light for the first time. 

“Elliot, Fabian, you two continue with the company matters.” 

“But…” 

“Oh yes, son, call Deborah later and ask her to come by our house. Tell her to bring that young lawyer, Jayden, and his friend too. I want to discuss something with everyone.” 

“Um… sure, I’ll tell her, but… is it something about Grandpa’s promise to her mom?” 

“You’ll be learning some family history tonight. My parents and the Anderson elders were good friends, back when the Andersons were as rich as us because they had a brokerage house in the city.” 

“Really? But then why- 

“You’ll know the truth tonight. For now, stay with Fabian and handle the company matters. I’m heading out, 

‘he said, adjusting his jacket as he stood. 

“Are you sure you want to go alone?” 

“Yes, son. Go with Fabian and focus on useful things.” 

“But…” 

“Don’t worry. Your old man will be fine and will sort this out once and for all,” he said, smiling. “It’s time to rid ourselves of all the parasites around my family.”

With that declaration, George left the room and got into the waiting car.
