Semua Bab The Revenge of the Mute Wife: Bab 151 - Bab 160

"That idiot’s taking too long," Frederick grumbled as he paced back and forth in his cell. "He said everything would be ready before lunchtime.""He’s probably got diarrhea again, so that’s why he’s not here," Vanessa sighed.The police had placed them in adjoining cells, which was a small comfort, though it was obvious they were kept together so they could be more easily watched. Still, it was better than being thrown in with the general prison population."Tch… how long does it take to get a signature?" With each passing minute, Frederick felt time dragging on. He couldn’t understand why this was taking so long—he had always secured those kinds of signatures in seconds from his previous victims."Relax, love," Vanessa said optimistically. "He’ll be here soon with the good news. He’s probably just finalizing the paperwork to get us out of here.""You’re right, my love," Frederick sighed, finally stopping his pacing. "And once we’re out, we’ll figure out how to deal with those two

One day before the trial, Christian was organizing his papers while explaining the plan to Deborah. They had heard that Frederick and Vanessa had found a new lawyer, so they wanted to be prepared for anything as they were unsure of what to expect from this new opponent.They were gathered at Deborah’s house, trying to make the most of their time to go over their strategy, even though it meant working on a Sunday.Though “working” was a loose term; their partners were busy in the kitchen, completing the meal. Jayden had mentioned he wanted hamburgers and fries drenched in various sauces for dinner.“And look, this is the evidence... well, you know, the forged orders and documents Frederick used to get Debbie’s grandpa and mom... uh, well...” Christian trailed off, making a face before glancing over to the shelf on the right, where they had placed the recovered keychain next to a photo of Deborah’s grandfather and mother.“Relax, son. It’s a terrible truth... but at least now my fath

The big day had arrived. It was time to determine who was lying and who was the real victim in the Anderson family.The truth behind this mystery was the scandal of the moment, with all the news and media outlets closely watching the trial. After all, today would finally reveal how the third most powerful family in the city had suddenly fallen, only to reappear mysteriously as a wealthy family led by a pair of strangers.One particular couple, eager for the spotlight, planned to make the most of this grand stage. They were confident that after today, once they had crushed that stupid girl, they would have all the money in the world, and those fools who had rejected them at first would come crawling back, begging to become their partners and increase their fortune even more.At that very moment, Frederick and Vanessa were dressed in the clothes their new lawyer had provided—clothes they had specifically requested, as today was a celebration. Today would mark the end of their long ord

“Please take your seats. We’ll begin by hearing from Attorney Herman Roberts,” the judge announced, adjusting his papers.“Thank you, Your Honor,” Herman said as he stood and began addressing the jury and the gallery. “First, I’d like to clarify the misunderstanding regarding my clients’ use of the Anderson name. You see, they loved Ms. Anderson so much that, to make her feel like she truly belonged to their family, they decided to adopt her surname. They wanted to create a harmonious, safe, and loving environment for her.”Deborah crossed her arms and rolled her eyes at the blatant lie.“Objection,” Christian called out, standing up.“And why is that?”“Well, I hate to interrupt your little soap opera,” Christian said sarcastically, glaring at his opponent, “but nothing you’ve said is true. This pair of lowlifes never loved Deborah. They kidnapped her, robbing her of a life with her real father, all to steal the Anderson family’s fortune. A fortune they failed to obtain when Ms.

"Thank you for your testimony, doctor," the judge said, dismissing the doctor."Congratulations, my dear. I told you I’d cure you," the doctor said as he approached Deborah, taking her hands and smiling warmly. She responded with a soft thank you and a grateful smile.With that, the elderly man found a seat among the spectators to listen to the rest of the trial."Attorney Roberts, it’s your turn," the judge stated."Let’s hope it is, and that I’m not interrupted again by Attorney Collins," Herman replied, still a bit irritated."…" Christian merely smirked, crossing his arms, relishing the feeling of outmaneuvering Herman."Maybe my clients were complete idiots for not taking you to a doctor," Herman said, approaching Deborah and ignoring his clients' protests, "but they believed they were doing the right thing because your mother named them as your legal guardians.""That’s a lie," Deborah snapped, glaring at the lawyer."Order.""Deborah, calm down…" Christian urged, gently
