Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1497:noveldrama

Jake took her comment in stride, seeing it as a compliment. He calmly warned her, “With these photographs, I could easily confront your father and question the motives of the Fletcher family. Are you trying to challenge the Reeves and Nixon families? You’d better tell us where Caitlin is, or I will have to take matters into my own hands and visit the Fletcher family’s estate.”

Beth was close to breaking down. “Kallie said the same thing to me yesterday. It’s not that I’m being difficult. I truly don’t know. If I knew, why would I withhold the information? Why would I let myself be held here overnight for that bitch Caitlin?”

As Beth pondered her situation, she felt increasingly aggrieved, and tears began to stream down her cheeks.

However, her tear-streaked face did not elicit even a shred of sympathy from Jake. He remained seated. His handsome face looked stern. “If you believe you’re innocent, then you need to prove it.”

While speaking, he rhythmically tapped the armrest of his chair. “Find Caitlin within three days, or blame me for any drastic actions.”

Beth’s eyes widened. She momentarily stopped crying, though tears still clung to her face. Her voice trembled with anger. “How could I possibly know where Caitlin has gone? Why are you pressuring me like this?”

Jake let out a scornful laugh. “You should have expected repercussions when you brought the media to force your way into my wife’s event and disrupted the party. Beth, didn’t anyone ever warn you about not crossing me?”

Seeing Jake’s half-smiling expression, a wave of apprehension washed over Beth. She gritted her teeth, well aware that Jake’s words were not to be taken lightly.

In their social circle, Jake and Clayton were considered the most outstanding men. But Beth’s preference leaned toward Clayton since Jake was a formidable man, not to be played with. She had witnessed his ruthlessness firsthand. This was why, despite her jealousy of Kallie, she had never dared to actually act against Kallie.

Yet, regret was pointless now. Beth tightened her grip on the photographs, wrinkling them slightly. Drawing in a deep breath, she said, “Mr. Reeves, I understand.”

Upon seeing Beth’s readiness to cooperate, Jake signaled the bodyguards to let her go.

Immediately, Beth left, and Kallie walked in. She had enjoyed a rare restful night’s sleep and was feeling refreshed. A servant informed her of Beth’s release, and she simply acknowledged it with a nod. Only she and Jake had the right to make that decision. Jake must have had his reasons, and she saw no need to question them. She just found Jake.

She entered the study, casually sat on Jake’s lap, and nestled into his arms.

With Kallie’s arrival, the tension in Jake softened considerably, and his demeanor eased into a slight smile. He playfully asked, “Have you come to hold me accountable?”

Kallie gave him a teasing frown. “If I were really here to hold you accountable, I’d be a lot more serious.”

Jake embraced Kallie, cherishing this rare moment of tenderness. He softly stroked her back, comforting her with his words. “Don’t worry. I have an idea of where to start searching for Caitlin. We’ll definitely find her.”
