Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1494:

Kallie accepted that she bore some responsibility for Caitlin’s suffering at Beth’s hands.

Trent tried to reassure Kallie. “Miss Nixon, please don’t be too hard on yourself. You’ve done more than enough, but Miss Cooper never really chose to trust you from the start. There’s nothing more you can do about that.”

A trace of sadness flickered in Kallie’s eyes as she smiled slightly at Trent. “Don’t worry, Trent. This is my final effort to have a proper conversation with Caitlin. If she still keeps her guard up around me, I’ll give up.”

Trent exhaled in relief as he saw Kallie accepting the situation.

Just then, a member of the villa’s security team approached with an update. They had checked all the surveillance footage from the exits, but there was no trace of Caitlin.

Caitlin. However, one camera hadn’t been reviewed because it had been tampered with and damaged before the party began.

Hearing this, Kallie’s face grew stern. She suspected that Caitlin had been taken away through that very area.

At first, Kallie suspected that Beth was behind Caitlin’s disappearance. But now, she realized that Beth probably wasn’t involved. The surveillance had been damaged right at the beginning of the party. It was too complex a task for Beth to manage on her own. If Beth were behind it, she wouldn’t have needed the media to force her way into the party with Caitlin. This meant there was a traitor among them.

Kallie kept her composure. She cast a discreet look at Trent, who quickly caught on and cleared his throat to address the security member. “Since the security camera has been acting up, we should get it fixed promptly. There’s no need for further investigation. It’s likely that Miss Cooper slipped out through that route after changing her outfit. Alright, you don’t have to worry about what happens next. You may leave now.”

Once everyone had gone, Trent faced Kallie with concern. “Miss Nixon, are you sure we shouldn’t dig deeper?”

Kallie massaged her forehead. “It’s not that simple. We must continue the investigation, but discreetly. I’ll tell my people to search for Caitlin. If she doesn’t turn up, I’ll involve the police. But still, something feels off.”

Kallie sensed that she was missing a critical piece but couldn’t quite put her finger on it. She continued to massage her aching temples, suddenly feeling overwhelmed.

Trent noticed her fatigue. “You should take a break. You’ve been on your feet nonstop lately.”

Kallie nodded with a weary smile. “Thank you, Trent. You can head home now. There’s nothing more for you to do tonight.”

After seeing Trent off, Kallie paused to gather her thoughts. She then decided to send a message to Caitlin: “Did you leave the party early? Where are you now? I’m worried about you. Please get in touch as soon as you see this. I need to speak with you.”

After sending the message, Kallie went to check on the children. Thankfully, they were all still enjoying themselves.
