The Day Silence Spoke novel Chapter 252

It was a blunt question; Reuben was in no mood for games. Anyone with a brain knew Renata lacked both the motive and the guts to pull this off alone. Someone had to be pulling the strings.

Clifford glanced at him and let out a small, humorless laugh. “Are you asking that question just so I can sue you for slander?”

Reuben was struck silent.

At that moment, Yolanda’s mother, Jolene, lunged forward, grabbing Renata by the hair and viciously yanking and slapping her. “You bitch! Give me back my daughter!”

“Ah—!” Renata screamed as pain shot through her scalp, trying to claw at the woman.

“You worthless bitch! You’re just like your mother, a damn whore! What did my daughter ever do to you that you’d be so cruel? You venomous monster, I’ll kill you!”

At the insult, Polly shot to her feet. “Jolene! You watch your mouth! You don’t get to run wild in my house! Get her out of here!”

Several maids rushed forward to pull Jolene and Renata apart. Jolene’s eyes were wild with hatred, as if she wanted to tear Renata to pieces. “You’re all monsters!” she shrieked. “You do this to my daughter, and I’ll give up my own life to drag you all down with me! I’ll get justice for my poor girl! None of you will get away with this!”

Polly’s chest heaved with rage and a flicker of fear. “She’s insane! Throw her out!”

“Wallace! Polly! You’ll both rot in hell!” Jolene’s voice echoed from a distance as she was dragged out. “You reap what you sow! A day of reckoning will come for you all!”

The chilling curses hung in the air. Polly’s face was ashen as she looked to Clifford for help.

Santino, sitting to the side, wasn’t smiling, but his eyes held the distinct glimmer of someone enjoying a good show.
