The substitute bride is a mute novel Chapter 6

Tension hung heavily in the air at the Blake Mansion.

Matthew's furious pacing betrayed the gravity of the situation. Jenna, who had just returned home, couldn't help but question her father's agitation.

"Dad?"

With a violent crash, he shattered a cup in rage.

"That idiot Judy! The photos she sent were fake!" He roared, his frustration palpable. "Clark Reid must've caught on, and now our stocks are plummeting. We're bleeding money!"

Jenna dropped her purse in shock, her mind racing with worry. "How could this happen? Can we fix it?"

Matthew's expression darkened as he pondered their options. Then, he turned to Jenna with a determined look.

"Only you can help me now."

"Me?"

He nodded. "Yes. Clark's out for revenge because we replaced you with Judy. But I won't let him win! Don't you fancy Sally's son, Dominic? If you can seduce him, I can ensure he inherits everything from Clark. Then, we'll have it all."

He sneered, "I'll make Clark pay dearly for crossing us."

"Do you really have a plan to take him down, dad?"

His cold smile sent shivers down Jenna's spine. "Of course. With Judy as our pawn, there's nothing to fear. You need to get to the Reid Manor immediately. We can't afford to waste any time."

Jenna immediately hesitated at the mention of heading over to the manor.

She expressed, "Dad… seducing Dominic won't be a problem, I wouldn't mind it since he's so successful. But what if that ugly thing Clark tries to… make a move on me?" She dreaded the prospect of facing Clark.

She continued, "I've heard rumors that he likes me a lot, I'm just afraid he will try and take advantage of me, dad."

Matthew was aware of her concerns. He patted her hand to comfort her and said, "Don't worry, just go and try to win Sally over first. If Clark tried to do anything to you, use Judy as a shield.

"Judy wouldn't not help you out. Besides, you can use her to aid you with your plans regarding Dominic too."
