The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson

Chapter 15



"That's amazing, son, congratulations," Isabelle said, embracing Roger. "I'll finally be a grandmother and-"

"That's disgusting!" Elliot interrupted. "I'll never see that crazy woman's child as my nephew."

"Elliot," his mother scolded him. "Don't speak like that."

"Isabelle, don't scold my son because I think the same," George said. "I won't acknowledge that child as my grandson, and Roger, start packing your things from this office." "But Dad, you can't..."

"George, what are you doing?"

"I'm fulfilling my father's will. Since this useless man can't take care of his marriage, he has no rights anymore. Not to the presidency, not to my fortune."

"What?!" Roger and Isabelle complained.

"Darling, you can't leave your son on the street."

"I think that's where he needs to be for him to act like an adult."

"Are you going to leave him on the streets?" Isabelle asked, alarmed.

"No, the apartment he lives in is his, so he has somewhere to stay. But he can't come back to our house because he's not welcome. And as for work, he can continue in the office as an employee until the divorce process is over." "And what about the house your father gave Roger for his marriage?

"That house belongs to your younger son," he informed her. "What...? But he..."

"Mom, I returned from abroad a few months ago, but since you've been so busy meddling in my older brother's life, I didn't see the need to tell you," Elliot said, glaring spitefully at his mother because he resented that she never loved him like she loved his older brother. Roger shot his father a spiteful look.

"George, you can't do this especially if Roger is going to be a father."This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Isabelle, think and listen to what you're saying: your son is going to have a child with his mistress, not with his wife," he declared angrily. "And you know what surprises me about you? You always complain about people's gossip and rumors, yet you support something as degrading as an affair."

Isabelle gritted her teeth because she couldn't protest against that.

"So, since Roger is such a man who betrays his wife and even impregnates his mistress, he'll also be good at taking responsibility by working on his own to manage that new life without the support of his parents' money," he said furiously. "And Isabelle, if I ever find out that you're giving money to Roger, I'll have to start managing your expenses."

Isabelle was shocked to hear that because, in all her years of marriage, he had never done that to her.

"Fabian," George called.

"Yes, sir." Fabian entered the office.

"Ask someone to clear out this office and put the things on the empty desk in the project department."

"What?" Roger was frightened because that was his old position before being promoted.

"Let's see your magic again as a great jewelry designer, because if you're so skilled, maybe you can regain your privileges." Roger was upset. He looked at his little brother, who looked at him with superiority, which meant he had told their father about it. 'Darling, don't do this to him, he's your son."

"Fine... Roger, so you don't feel like I'm stripping you of everything, I'll give you two chances to regain the presidency."

"I... I see, tell me what they are, Dad, and I'll fulfill them."

Elliot frowned seeing his brother getting his way again.

"The first one, I'll forget all this if you reconcile with Deborah and get rid of your mistress."

"What... but I love Sophia and

"And the second chance to regain everything is to show me again your great talent as a jewelry designer and win the next contest for the new collection the company will launch by the end of the year," he said, noticing the different reactions in his sons: Elliot looked happy with his words, while Roger was annoyed. "Dad, you're asking for the impossible," Roger began.

"Is that so? Why? Maybe you can't reconcile with Deborah anymore, but you can regain everything by showing us a beautiful jewelry collection like the one that convificed your grandfather to make you the sole heir with that great collection." Roger couldn't argue anymore and noticed his little brother's mocking gaze. It was obvious that condition was his idea, and Roger would make him regret it.

As the conversation ended, Fabian asked several workers to clear out the president's office and move the things to Roger's old office.

The mother and son were furious because they knew the two chances were just empty promises-Roger didn't want to get back together with the mute. Also, the previous collection he had presented was one designed by Elliot, but he had stolen those drawings with the help of his mother and presented them as his own to his grandfather... They had been cornered. But then Roger remembered something he had saved and started to relax because he had found a way to solve everything. And no... it wasn't by going back to the mute. COMMENTS
