The Mute Daughter Speaks: Billion-Dollar Family Survives

About this drama

"My brother, Alexander Ashford, conquered Wall Street at 18, while my sister, Isabella Ashford, earned two PhDs by 20. I'm the youngest daughter of the filthy-rich Ashford family. Ever since childhood, I've been slow-witted and barely able to speak, earning a reputation in our social circle as a mute and idiot. That is, until this day, when Ashford Group gets hit with a hostile short-sell and sits right on the edge of bankruptcy. My dad, Richard Ashford, sits there with his face turning gray, while Alexander tears through the fine print looking for a single loophole. And Jeffrey Hart, our chief legal counsel of ten years, has already been bought off.“Just sign it. I've gone over the terms. It's airtight. ” I’m so irritated by the sound that I couldn't keep pretending anymore. I bolt straight to the table, snatch the thick contract, flip past page three, and slam it heavily onto the surface. Then, I clearly deliver my very first words in the Ashford family.“The main contract and the addendum have a direct jurisdictional conflict. Sign this, and the Ashfords won't just walk away broke. You'll be ten billion dollars in debt!”"
