Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1461:

Kallie didn’t spare Benjamin a glance, turning away with a look of sheer disgust as she covered her nose.

Benjamin had no choice but to leave, his humiliation palpable.

As Jake returned to Kallie’s side, the hardness in his gaze melted away. He exhaled, his voice gentle yet firm. “I should have shielded you from witnessing that disgrace.”

Kallie shook her head. “It won’t be an issue.” Yet, for a fleeting moment, a shadow passed through her eyes. “You know, even though he begged for my forgiveness, it wouldn’t have meant a thing. He wasn’t sorry—just terrified of you. Men like him never change. They’ll always look down on women, always believe they’re superior.” She let out a dry laugh. “But that’s not what’s bothering me. I just remembered he has a wife. Can you imagine? A man like him, actually married.”

Jake’s lips curled into a knowing smile. “Not for long.”

Kallie caught his meaning instantly, a playful glint returning to her eyes as she winked at him.

They stood close, their love for each other put on display for the world. Around them, no one dared to voice an opinion. Every single person had witnessed Kallie’s brilliance firsthand, along with Jake’s unwavering respect for her. It was obvious now—Jake wasn’t blindly infatuated. He held Kallie in such high regard, not just because he loved her, but because she was a force in her own right.noveldrama

Because she was extraordinary. Those who had once dismissed Kallie quickly adjusted their attitudes.

After the meeting, Kallie pulled Jake aside, her expression turning serious. “There’s something we need to discuss,” she said, lowering her voice. “I may have offended someone earlier, but this time, they came for you. You started this, Jake. You should be the one to handle it.”

Jake’s brows knitted together, irritation flickering across his face. “I always knew Lisa was obsessed with me, but since she never crossed any major lines, I let it be. Given her status, I didn’t want to deal with her too harshly.” His eyes darkened. “But now… It’s clear. This isn’t just about obsession; it’s about deliberately opposing me.”

At that moment, Jake’s assistant approached, looking troubled, holding a carefully wrapped box.

The assistant cleared his throat awkwardly. “Mr. Reeves, sorry to interrupt, but this is urgent.”

Jake said nothing, merely eyeing the box with a slight frown. Kallie, arms crossed, raised an eyebrow as if she were watching a mildly amusing spectacle. She had a hunch about what was inside.

“Has that woman left?” Jake asked, his voice calm but edged with something colder.

The assistant exhaled sharply. “Not far. I rushed to find you because she insisted. She brought a whole entourage and made it very clear—if this wasn’t delivered to you in five minutes, then…”

His words trailed off, but the nervous sweat dotting his forehead spoke volumes.

Kallie could only imagine how many times Lisa had thrown her weight around, using her status to get what she wanted. But this time? She had met her match.

Without hesitation, Kallie took the gift box and flipped it open. The moment she saw what was inside, her expression froze, hovering somewhere between disbelief and anger.
