Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1492:

Her body weakened all at once, and she slumped into Clayton’s arms.

Kallie had just wrapped up her work, and the party was winding down. She was considering having a serious conversation with Caitlin, but ultimately, she decided to talk to Beth first.

“Miss Fletcher, name whatever you desire. Just let Caitlin go. The terms are negotiable,” Kallie proposed, confronting Beth with a firm, slightly cold look.

Beth sneered at her words. “You should get your facts straight. Caitlin wants to stay with me. I haven’t forced her. What do you mean by ‘let Caitlin go’?”

Facing Beth’s resistant denial, Kallie stayed composed and replied gently, “I know her well. She wouldn’t stick with you unless she felt desperate. It’s clear you’re leveraging your position to sway her. If you’re not open to saying the truth, that’s okay. I’m ready to play on your level. I’ve learned that the Fletcher family is closing in on a piece of land in the eastern suburbs, and it looks like a done deal. Interestingly, I find that land quite appealing myself.”

Surprise flickered across Beth’s face as she stared at Kallie. “Are you really going to challenge the Fletcher family for Caitlin’s sake?”

Kallie smiled. “Let me remind you, she’s part of my family. Since you mistreat her, I’m fully entitled to react.”

Beth nearly choked on her breath, but she couldn’t deny that Kallie had a point. Even if she made the issue public, painted Kallie as aggressive, and accused her of interfering with her family’s business, Kallie’s motives were defensible.

Now, Beth had to make a decision: prioritize the Fletcher family’s interest and let Caitlin go, or continue to force Caitlin to stay by her side at the price of a significant financial loss.

Naturally, Beth would lean toward the Fletcher family. After all, her reason for keeping Caitlin close was simply to make her suffer.noveldrama

Beth took a deep breath. Her eyes conveyed a mix of emotions as she faced Kallie. “You didn’t care about Caitlin, right? Why the sudden concern, Kallie? Have you lost your senses?”

Kallie’s face grew stern. “What led you to believe I don’t care about her?”

Beth was at a loss for words. Clearly, Kallie was genuinely worried about Caitlin. She had simply made an error in judgment.

Caitlin’s distant demeanor and her refusal to seek Kallie’s help had misled Beth into thinking Caitlin had left Kallie’s house due to bad blood. The truth caught Beth off guard.

Given the current situation, Beth had no choice but to concede.

As Beth reflected on the futility of her efforts that night, she felt a wave of irritation. She couldn’t help but glance at Kallie and say, “Don’t be fooled into thinking Caitlin is all innocent. You’re unaware of her schemes behind the scenes. She’s far from the naive girl she seems to be. Besides, she outright rejected your help today, and here you are, still standing up for her. I never took you for being this kind.”

Despite Beth’s attempts to provoke her, Kallie remained unfazed. “That’s really none of your business.”

Frustrated, Beth snorted and raised her dress to leave, but she was halted after a few steps by Kallie’s bodyguards.
