Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1485:

Beth turned toward Kallie and responded, “I’m here for no specific reason. I just thought to bring someone along for you to meet. It appears you’re not too eager to see me, maybe due to our past conflicts over a certain insignificant individual.”

Kallie instantly understood that Beth was referring to Caitlin as this “insignificant individual.” A wave of displeasure surged through her. She was on the verge of declaring Caitlin’s worth when she stepped closer and spotted Caitlin kneeling next to Beth.

Kallie gasped, momentarily questioning her own eyes. Why was Caitlin here?

Upon seeing Kallie, Caitlin’s embarrassment deepened, nearly drowning in her own humiliation. She hastily wiped away her tears, overwhelmed by a sudden desire to run away.

“Caitlin?” Kallie called out in shock before quickly moving toward her.

Seeing Caitlin’s disheveled state next to Beth’s smug expression, Kallie pieced everything together. Her face hardened into a frosty glare as she turned to Beth. “Miss Fletcher, this is my cousin. Are you trying to make an enemy of the Nixon family?”noveldrama

Beth stood with her arms crossed, still looking calm. “Kallie, why the pretense? If you truly cared about her, why is she struggling and jobless? Your supposed kindness is just a facade, isn’t it?”

Before Kallie could respond, Beth continued, her words provocative. “I’ve had Caitlin here for quite some time, but you only showed up now. I guess you did it deliberately. See, Caitlin? Kallie only shows concern for you when there’s a crowd.”

Caitlin was already exhausted. All she longed for was a quiet spot where she could rest.

Uninterested in engaging with Beth, Kallie extended her hand to Caitlin. “Don’t worry, Caitlin. I’m here now. I won’t let her push you around again.”

However, Caitlin ignored Kallie’s outstretched hand, her eyes hardening with a sudden chill.

Kallie could tell Caitlin was upset, but this wasn’t the moment to ask why. At the very least, she couldn’t allow outsiders to come between them.

Disregarding Caitlin’s resistance, Kallie grabbed her hand firmly and pulled her to her feet. “Go change your clothes first. I’ll take care of things here.”

With that, Kallie slipped off her shawl and draped it over Caitlin’s shoulders.

The shawl’s warmth chased away Caitlin’s chill, but it did little to calm the storm of emotions inside her. She stared at Kallie in silence, no longer knowing who to trust.

As Kallie got ready to lead Caitlin away, Beth refused to let them leave.

Her entire plan would crumble with Caitlin’s departure.

Beth swiftly stepped forward, blocking their way.

Kallie’s gaze sharpened. “Miss Fletcher, I’ll make you pay for what you did to Caitlin. Are you really sure you want to humiliate yourself in front of everyone right now?”

Beth let out a harsh, mocking laugh at Kallie’s threat. “Let me make this clear. I didn’t bully Caitlin. She chose to do all of this on her own. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and ask her yourself. Besides, she’s my servant now. As her employer, don’t I have a say in where she goes? What’s wrong with that? Or do you think your family’s so powerful now that you can ignore everyone else and bully whoever you want?”
