The substitute bride is a mute novel Chapter 42

Judy's skin turned ice cold after hearing what Clark said. Yet it was not as cold as his words. Judy's mind went blank as she stared at Clark in terror.

Clark slowly released his grip and sat back on the sofa. He looked down condescendingly at Judy and said, "At first, I thought you were lying. But now it seems like you could do anything for your grandmother's illness."

Judy remained petrified for a few seconds before regaining consciousness and started gasping for air. But she choked on her breath, causing her to cough while leaning against the wall.

Tears filled her eyes as she kept coughing. She scribbled on her notebook with her shaking hand. "What do you want?"

Clark took a deep breath and folded his arms on his chest. He leaned over and said, "I have a trade offer for you."

Judy stared at Clark, waiting for a reply.

"I want a medicine formula from the Blake family," Clark continued.

Judy knew it! Of course, his aim would be the Blake family's medicine formula!

Judy's face went blank. She shook her head and wrote, "What medicine formula? I don't know what you're talking about."

The Blake family's medicine formula was a trade secret, the lifeblood of Blake Medical Group. Even Jenna, the heir of the Blake family, didn't know much about the formula, let alone a neglected illegitimate child like Judy.

"Easy now," Clark said. He certainly knew Judy wouldn't have the capability to get it. "I know the Blake family has a lot of formulas. But I only need one. The one inside Matthew's safe."

"That's impossible. That's no way I can do that." Judy shook her head and wrote. Regardless of the formula that Clark wanted, she could never get her hands on any of them.

"Impossible?" Clark looked at the beautiful handwriting deeply carved into the notebook and said.

His eyes grew even colder as he looked at Judy. "Yes, I'm asking for the impossible. That's what you and your family owe me!"

The Blake family was the one responsible for causing Sapphire's death in the fire. So, they should pay for what they have done.

"Matthew will be celebrating his birthday by the end of the month," Clark said coldly.

"If you can't get it by then, I will deal with your grandmother. That way, you will never be blackmailed by anyone ever again." The cold voice echoed in the room before striking Judy.
