Chapter 20
rk brought a signnguage teacher in to help trante Judy''s signs to facilitatemunication.
Judy gritted her teeth and faced Max’s gaze.
"The person in the video is not me. Tell them," she gestured.
"How could it not be you?" said Max who insisted, "Back then, you were the one who came and
seduced me."
"You''re talking nonsense," Judy quickly gestured. "Why would I seduce you?"
After hearing the trantions, rk fell into contemtion. Despite the fact that she was mute, she
was still the eldest daughter of the ke family.
It was rather unbelievable that she would try to seduce such an unattractive P.E. teacher.
Max confidently refuted, "You needed excellent scores for all subjects including P.E. for your college
application, but your P.E. sucked, so you resorted to seducing me andter threatening me with the
clip. That was why I had to change your score."
Judy''s face turned pale as she anxiously gestured in response to deny the allegation. She would
never seduce a teacher for better scores.
The gaze rk had on her changed.
As the two continued to argue over the matter, rk said coldly, "Dig up the school records."
All the subject scores could be found in the school records. A look into it would reveal the truth.
Soon, the school records were presented in front of them.
Unexpectedly, Judy, though a mute, had achieved flying colors in all subjects, all except for P.E. in
the second semester of 11th Grade.
The originally failing score was struck out and reced with another that was excellent. It was
obvious to anyone that something fishy was going on.
Instantly, rk''s already cold gaze became even more chilling.
Coldly, he questioned, "What else do you have to say?"
Her face now grew paler than the white walls which surrounded them. Judy helplessly shook her
head.
With a bang, rk mmed the table with the school records and dered, "From today onward,
you''re no longer my wife."
The room fell silent at his words.
Judy was panicking now. She could not believe that he had so easily trusted the words of others
without hearing her argument.
No, she could not let him detest her! She needed to exin herself. She could not be driven out of
the Reid family as her grandmother''s life was still in Matthew''s hands.
In a haste, she came in front of him to block his way and hurriedly gestured, "Let me find a
ssmate from back then to testify for me."
"No need. The Reid family is embarrassed enough!" rk uttered coldly and nced at her with
disgust before striding off without hesitation.
"Mr. Reid, I''ll see you off."
The principal quickly followed behind, and the other teachers also left.
Judy''s mind went nk as she watched rk leave.

Amid themotion, somebody had bumped into her, not knowing whether intentional or not,
causing her knee to knock onto the coffee table nearby. Crouching down, she winced in pain.
"Are you okay, Judy?" said a man’s voice behind her.
Snapping out from the pain, she turned around instinctively. Before she could get a hold of her
footing, she immediately stepped backward when she saw the bald man in front of her with terror.
Everyone in the teacher''s office was gone, except for her and Max.
"Stay away from me," she gestured.
"When rk Reid came looking for me, I thought I was in trouble." Max sneered and continued,
"Who knew it''d be this easy to settle the matter? Judy, it seems you''re having a tough life after
marrying into the Reid family, right?"
She found the direction of the exit from the side of her eye and rushed toward it, but Max was more
agile.
He grabbed her arm, pulled her back forcefully, and pushed her onto the sofa, scolding, "We haven''t
finished our conversation. Why are you leaving so soon?"
Judy could see stars from the fall, and her heart dropped.
"Don''t touch me! Somebody help me!" she mouthed, trying her best to scream for help, but no
matter how hard she tried, only hoarse whimpering came out of her throat.
"Don''t be afraid," said Max, shifting his gaze downward and staring at her heaving chest with a
lecherous grin.
"If you had been obedient back then, I wouldn''t have had to find a way to cover it up just in case you
made a scene about it. Now that rk no longer wants you, you might as welle home with
me…"
Judy hopelessly shook her head and cowered in one corner of the sofa, her whole body trembling in
fear.
The truth back then was in and simple.
A lustful P.E. teacher wanted to take advantage of a mute girl but failed. To cover up the truth, he
used her first of seducing him.
The school went into an uproar, but nobody bothered about the truth since everyone only enjoyed
spectating the bustle.
Today, even rk refused to believe her.
As Max''s hands reached toward her again, Judy desperately widened her eyes which were filled
with terror.
"Don''te near me," she screamed inwardly.
Suddenly, the door to the teacher''s office mmed against the wall with a loud bang. The force was
so immense that it shook the room.
In the next second, Max yelled in pain as he was thrown to the ground.
When she finally came to her senses, she saw a shiny leather shoe stomping on Max''s perverted
face, crushing it like a piece of rag.
"Ah—!" he yelled as his face was crushed into distortion.
Judy looked up from the shoe and was taken aback.
Amidst the flying dust in the room, a huge shadow towered over her, enveloping her entirely. The
man''s stern face appeared somewhat blurry.
With a voice that was not so loud but resolute, he said, "Whichever hand that he just used to touch
my woman just now, render it useless."
It was rk. Didn''t he leave?
rk''s assistant, Jeremy, retrieved a pinhole camera from behind a painting in the office and said,
"Mr. Reid, it''s all recorded."
It wasn''t until Max was dragged out that Judy regained her senses.
She stared nkly at the man in front of her and gestured, "You''ve been here all along?"
Seeing the woman before him in such a sorry state, rk furrowed his brows slightly.
There were too many loopholes in the reported news that it was utterly unbelievable. However, it
was difficult to capture substantial evidence since the incident had happened a long time ago.
That was why he used this trick to ensnare his prey, but Judy had to suffer a little during the
process.
Suffer? The moment this word shed through his mind, the frown on his face deepened.
Judy had no idea what rk was thinking. When the truth of the matter came to light, she could
finally breathe a sigh of relief.
She struggled to support herself by grabbing a corner of the sofa, but suddenly the pain in her
knees struck, causing her to fall.
Amid her low, startled cry, a pair ofrge hands promptly caught her.
Seeing the bruises on her knees, rk''s eyes darkened and he asked, "Did you get injured just
now?"
Judy felt uneasy, afraid that she might cause trouble for him again.
While leaning on the sofa, she carefully gestured, "I can walk on my own."
The tears in Judy’s eyes had not yet dried. Her face was pale and haggard. Clearly in pain, she
gritted her teeth to feignposure, appearing increasingly pitiful.
rk''s heart tightened. As she was about to get up, he firmly pressed her shoulder, removed his
suit jacket, and draped it over her.
Without a word, he picked her up and they left, under the gazes of the onlookers.
