Chapter 47


    Judy waved her hand. "I''ll just sit here and rest for a bit. I might have to trouble you to take care of Grandma."


    Dominic sensed that Judy was purposefully distancing herself from him. He wanted to ask her about it but stopped after seeing her exhausted look.


    "I''ll go get you some food then.” Dominic said


    Before Judy could decline, Dominic stuffed a water bottle in her hand and quickly left. Judy was left alone in the empty hallway.


    She couldn''t help but feel unnerved when she remembered that after the operation, she would have to face rk and his request.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    At dawn in the Reid manor, rk and Sally were having breakfast.


    “You should cut out of coffee, rk. They''re bad for you," Sally said as she put a ss of juice before rk. She nced at the second bedroom


    upstairs and said, "That Judy. She was gone for the past two days.


    "What was she so busy with? Was she so busy that she didn''t have the time to care for her husband? What kind of wife is this?"


    "She was taking care of her grandmother at the hospital," rk said coldly without looking up from the newspaper.


    “Aren''t there nurses and care workers in the hospital? Why did she need to be there for 24 hours?” Sally asked. "Dom also hasn''t returned for two


    days. He said he was busy every time I called him. I guarantee it is because Judy is bothering him."


    rk looked up from the newspaper and red at Sally in annoyance.


    "rk, I''m just being honest. so don''t get mad at me,” Sally said. "I know you felt pity for that mute Judy. But the Reid family is not a welfare home


    that gives shelter to anyone


    "I''m fine if she knows her ce and behaves herself. But look at her. You could tell she''s a scheming woman. The kind that would cause trouble.”


    Feeling more agitated, Sally continued, "Dom is always speaking for her and protecting her. He''s not even listening to me, his mother, anymore. You


    know that Dom is a soft-hearted man. I''m sure it''s because that mute had seduced—"


    With a loud clink, rk mmed the cup heavily on the dining table,pletely cutting off Sally.


    Startled by the loud noise, Sally looked up and saw rk''s cold, hardened expression. Sally quickly said, "Sorry, rk. I said too much. B-But, it''s all


    for your sake—"


    rk interrupted. "Aunt Sally if you have that much free time, why not think about Dom''s marriage?”


    Sally was stunned.


    "I''m done with the meal. I''m going to the office." rk took his coat and left the dining room.


    Sally could finally rx as she heard


    the sound ofa car engineing

    from the sourtyard. She snapped, =>


    ‘That mute truly is a scourge. rk


    doesnt want me to intervene ithis


    busidess. Looks like we wont ￠ get rid


    ofthat eyesore Soon. Content


    ?


    Lora, who was clearing the table, consoled, "Actually, Ma''am, you shouldn''t worried about her too much. She''s just a mute. What is she even capable


    of doing?


    “How about the second daughter of the ke family? Master Phelps isn''t interested in her, but that doesn''t mean you''re also not interested, no?"


    "That Jenna?’ Sally scoffed. "The


    kes arenothing to me. They’ re


    just a family with a failing medicine


    business. If it wasn''t for rk =


    req vesting the marriage, they have


    no-business with our family”


    Lora was confused, "Then why did you..."


    I just want to see the two sisters fight, preferably both of them suffer,” Sally said. "But if we don''t get rid of that mute as soon as possible, how do I


    exin to the Decker family?"


    Lora was surprised to hear about the Decker family and asked, "You''re still thinking about the Decker family—"


    Before Lora could finish, Sally''s eyes shed and recalled something. "Come to think of it, I haven''t seen Adam for a while.”


    Lora nodded and said, "Each summer, Adam will stay at his summer resort at Tocham for vacation. He should be there around this time."


    Sally pondered and said, "rk got married for a while now, yet Adam hasn''t seen his bride. I should visit him and tell him to be mentally prepared.”


    At first, Lora was confused. But she


    quickly caught Sally''s drift and said


    happily, "Of Course. After all, you''re->


    the one Who raised Mr. Reid, anc


    everyone in the Reid family respects


    you for this. So Adam will listen to


    whatever you say. " ’


    As if a weight was off her shoulders, Sally said delightfully, "Then it''s decided! Prepare me some gifts, Lora. We''re visiting Adam this weekend."


    "Yes, Ma’am," Lora replied
