Deborah was seething, trying to bite the inside of her cheek to suppress the insults she wanted to hurl at this rude man. She was tired of his attitude.

But she couldn't speak, as that was part of the plan they had devised for this situation.

Two nights ago, when she learned the harsh truth about what Frederick had done, she was enraged to discover that he planned to use her grandfather as a bargaining chip for his freedom. She sought to recover her grandfather and prevent them from escaping. Knowing those two, they wouldn't realize she could speak now, as they had always been indifferent to anything about her unless it involved money.

Taking advantage of this, they planned to let the news of her gynecologist appointment reach Cameron so he would use that day to contact her.

Once the bait was taken, they arranged a safe place for him to meet with her.

So, Deborah was now listening to this man's proposal, pretending to still be the mute and submissive girl Frederick and Vanessa thought they could control and humiliate at will.

"Hey, react," Cameron complained, seeing Deborah only staring at him. "What's wrong? Besides being mute, are you now an idiot?"

[I was considering your proposal.] Deborah wrote, frowning as Cameron's lack of self-control and overt insults began to grate on her.

"Ah... so you were thinking it over," he mocked. "Well, I must remind you that I want your answer right now because this is a limited offer. So... what's your decision?"

[If I'm going to grant forgiveness, I want you to immediately return my grandfather to me, no tricks.]

"Your distrust offends me."

I know how you are, so until you hand over my grandfather, I'm not signing anything you give me.] "I give you my Word."

What don't you understand? I don't trust you, so I'll sign once you hand him over, or we can go to trial.]

"Fine... you win, tch..." he said, annoyed that he couldn't change her mind. "Here," he added, reluctantly pulling out a card from his belongings and handing it to her. "Come to this judge's office tomorrow, and there you'll sign the forgiveness letter. I'll be expecting you at 12, and don't dare miss it or that keychain might get "lost" by accident," he said, standing up and leaving without looking back.

Deborah clenched her fists tightly and bit her lips to hold back her anger.

"Oh... God... finally, he's gone," Deborah blinked and saw Samantha returning to her side, visibly angry. You know, it was really hard just listening to the conversation because every word that came out of that guy's mouth was meant to hurt and humiliate you. Ugh. I really wanted to put a brick in my purse and hit him in the face."

"Relax, Samantha. Unfortunately, I'm used to that treatment because Frederick and Vanessa are just like that lawyer," Deborah sighed heavily. Chapter 147

The older woman approached and hugged her to comfort her.

"Don't worry, boss," they both looked as the so-called waiter approached them and offered a tissue to Deborah. "That jerk will have a tough day." "Thank you," Deborah said, accepting the tissue to wipe the few tears that had formed due to her anger,

"Why do you say that, Will?" Samantha asked, realizing that he wasn't actually a waiter but a bodyguard hired to protect them that day.

"Because I couldn't hold back like you, boss," he said with a grin, showing the cup of coffee the man had drunk and a few empty laxative packets.

Upon realizing what had happened, both women began to laugh, knowing the man was going to have a rough time

After paying for their refreshments and thanking the owner for letting them use the place to control the meeting, they headed home.

Upon arriving, Jayden and Eric greeted them, with the former immediately hugging and checking on his partner.

"You know, son, it hurts that you're ignoring me," Samantha said, slightly hurt to see him first go to Deborah.
