Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1493:

Clenching her teeth, Beth turned around to glare at Kallie. “What now? I’ve already agreed. What else do you want? Want me to apologize to Caitlin?”

Kallie responded in a flat tone, “I can’t get a hold of Caitlin right now. If you want to leave, bring her here first.”

Beth almost burst out laughing in disdain. “Why is it my problem since you can’t find her? I have no idea where she’s gone. I’m already upset enough without you trying to detain me.”

Kallie watched Beth closely, trying to gauge whether she was being truthful.

Beth could tell what Kallie was thinking and suddenly felt a surge of anxiety. “Do you think I would lie to you? I honestly don’t know where Caitlin is. I came here looking for her too!”

Kallie frowned slightly. “You better be honest, or I’m not letting you go.”

Beth clenched her jaw tightly and declared, “If Caitlin’s disappearance has anything to do with me, then you can deal with me as you see necessary. How about that?”

Kallie nodded but had no plans to let Beth go just yet.

In a surge of anger, Beth yelled at Kallie, “What do you need from me? I’ve already told you I have no clue where she is!”

Kallie found a place to sit, meeting Beth’s enraged gaze with a calm demeanor. “Be patient. As soon as I verify Caitlin is alright, you’ll be allowed to leave.”

Beth bit down on her lip, fighting the urge to lash out. But she recalled something and forced herself to stay calm. She knew better than to upset Kallie. After all, the Fletcher family was no match for Kallie’s family. Besides, her engagement to…

Clayton wasn’t yet bound by marriage. If the situation worsened, he might choose not to support her. It was best not to aggravate matters further.

Feeling defeated, Beth regretted her decision to come here tonight and, even more so, bringing Caitlin along.

Beth found a seat and persistently dialed Caitlin’s number, but the calls went unanswered. This only intensified her growing headache, making her massage her temples. Where on earth could that troublesome girl have disappeared to?

Meanwhile, Kallie watched Beth closely. Her brow furrowed slightly as she noted Beth’s frantic yet futile attempts to reach Caitlin.

Just then, Trent chimed in, “Miss Nixon, perhaps it’s truly a misunderstanding. Miss Fletcher appears to genuinely not know where Miss Cooper is.”

“But after you led Caitlin to change her clothes, she still didn’t emerge from the room after an extended period. You walked in and searched the room, only to find she was missing. Normally, she wouldn’t just leave without a word. It’s likely she was taken. I can’t dismiss this possibility. Besides, some of Beth’s hostility toward Caitlin is because of me.”

Kallie sighed, acknowledging the root of Beth’s resentment. The old history between herself and Clayton was undeniable.

Beth couldn’t overlook them but hesitated to challenge Kallie directly. Unfortunately, Caitlin bore a resemblance to Kallie and found herself becoming the poor target of Beth’s bitterness.
