The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson

Chapter 316

Extra 19: New Plan

Back at home, Deborah focused on comforting her son to make sure he was alright, but she noticed he seemed calm and collected as he chatted with his sister, telling her about what they did at the company.

In fact, James was excitedly telling them that his grandfather had said he would support his decision to become an architect.

"See, I told you, honey," she said.

"Hm... Grandpa said he taught me about jewelry because he just wanted to share his knowledge."

"And James is good at it," Elizabeth added.

"Oh? Why's that?" Jayden asked while rocking the twins, who were still awake.

"Because he quickly figured out that his auntie's gift was cosmetic jewelry and not a real gem.

"What? Is it really not real?" Samantha asked, looking at the little girl's necklace.

"It's what's called luxury jewelry." James explained, blushing when he saw everyone looking at him in amazement. "Uh... Uncle Elliot taught me about this. It's a special process used to polish plastic so that it mimics the shine and appearance of a real gemstone. "Wow... my son is a genius." Jayden declared. "Haha, I'm no good at that."

"Haha, someone paid attention to Grandpa's explanations," Deborah said while fixing James's hair.

"I thought it was interesting and wanted to learn because I saw it's really important for the company."

"Congratulations, sweetheart. Being curious and having a thirst for knowledge is admirable," Eric said, noticing the boy blushing and hugging his mom.

"Well, I'm glad you inherited something good from my son," Jayden thought to himself.

"And what about me, Daddy?" Elizabeth asked.

"What about you?"

"What am I talented at?"

"Let's see.. my princess is talented at matching colors, clothes, and accessories for her dolls."

"Nooo Daddy..."

"Ellie, that's actually a big talent because not everyone can do that," James pointed out.

"Oh, really?"

"Yes, Elizabeth, that's how great fashion designers got their start," Samantha said. "By mixing and matching their dolls' clothes or even colors in their drawings." "Oh..." Elizabeth was thrilled to hear that.

"Haha, and besides, you still have many years to discover what you want to be when you grow up." Eric

said, hugging her.

"But what about James?"

"Everyone goes at their own pace, sweetle. You don't need to compare yourself to anyone." Deborah stated.

"Your mom's right, honey. Just keep playing and exploring."

"Okay..."

"And now it's time for bed," Deborah said.

"Noooo..." the kids responded in unison.

"Yes, just because it's Saturday doesn't mean you can stay up late. Go on, off to bed," Deborah ordered, hearing the complaints and laughter of her children. They put the kids to bed this way.

Once they ensured the kids and pets were asleep, Jayden and Deborah returned to the living room to discuss what happened at the restaurant with the older family members.

"Oh... my poor grandson," Samantha said after hearing what had happened.

"That man has really crossed the line," Eric said angrily

"Yes, Dad."

"But why would he want to hurt a child?" Samantha asked, clearly distressed.

"No idea... though I think it's the same reason he's been attacking the company."

"Why do you think that?" Eric asked, frowning.

"Because last night, I received a strange message telling me not to leave my son's side for anything in the world..." Deborah said, showing them the message from an unknown number. "For a moment, I thought it was fake or a wrong number, but after what happened today... I think it was a real warning for us."

"It looks like they sent it and then destroyed the phone because it shows an error when you try to call," Jayden noted, as he had tried calling the number.

"I really don't like this," Samantha said, worried because their family was being directly attacked.

"You know what... I'm fed up. I'm going to look for Brandon myself to help me investigate this guy so we can start clipping his wings," Jayden declared, frowning and clenching his fists.

"Son, you can't..."

"Calm down, Mom. I'm not going to ask him for anything crazy. I just want him to find all the people who were silenced after bringing up problems with the construction projects. I want to contact them to convince them to file a joint lawsuit to achieve real justice and, along the way, destroy that man's façade of a perfect company."

Love, I think what Jayden is planning is the right thing to do. We'll be helping a lot of people," Eric said.

"Well, if that's the plan, I support it," Samantha said.

"Me too." Deborah added.

"That's why we've always made sure to use and create safe, durable materials," Eric said. "Because what we're building isn't just any structure, it's a home where people will live, and obviously, they need a safe roof over their heads." "I know, my love."

"That's right, Dad. You always showed me the importance of being honest with customers about the materials, and I doubt that guy warned anyone about that."

"But this man... how much will he charge us for his special investigation?" Eric asked, worried. They didn't have much money to offer as payment at the moment
