Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1514:

Seizing that window of hesitation, Caitlin tried to yank her wrist free, but before she could escape, Beth leaned in, her voice a chilling whisper. “Proof? That doesn’t matter. What matters is that people believe you’re that tramp. That’s enough to ruin you in Burmoos. I won’t allow anything to threaten my upcoming marriage to Clayton. If I say you’re a slut, then you are one. That’s all it takes.”

The words were like ice in Caitlin’s veins. So that was how it was. Beth just sought to destroy her. The realization struck deep, unearthing a fresh well of anger. She had once felt uneasy—had once thought she owed Beth something. But how could she have felt remorse for a woman so twisted by her own insecurities? Beth was vile, spiteful, and had done more harm to Caitlin than she had ever inflicted.noveldrama

A calmness settled over Caitlin before she met Beth’s gaze. “You’ll regret this.”

Something in her tone struck a nerve. Beth snapped. With a furious cry, she kicked Caitlin to the ground and lunged, clawing at her like a…

Woman possessed.

To the onlookers, it was a tragic display—a fiancée, cornered, attacking the woman who had shattered her relationship.

Caitlin fought to suppress her pain, the whispers around her cutting deeper than any physical blow. “Tramps like that deserve what they get. Don’t call the cops. Beat her to death.”

Realizing that no one was going to intervene, Caitlin couldn’t stop her tears. Eventually, she gritted her teeth and dialed Clayton’s number. Clayton answered almost immediately, and his soothing voice came through the phone. “Caitlin, what’s the matter?”

At the sound of his voice, Caitlin’s tears burst forth uncontrollably. Clayton, confused by the noise in the background, wasn’t sure what was happening.

Beth’s frantic voice could be heard in the background. “Are you talking to Clayton?” Beth then attempted to snatch the phone from Caitlin.

But Caitlin found strength and subconsciously pushed Beth away. Caught by surprise, Beth lost her balance and fell to the ground. Clayton finally realized something was wrong, and his expression darkened. He reassured Caitlin, “Don’t worry. I’m on my way.”

Meanwhile, when Kallie and Elma arrived at Linsey’s house, Linsey was by the window, watching the chaos downstairs with keen interest. She clicked her tongue occasionally as she observed.

Kallie couldn’t help but laugh. “You always enjoy a bit of drama, don’t you? I heard the commotion too. Sounds like some mistress drama downstairs. There was a big crowd, but I decided not to take Elma there.”

Elma rushed to Linsey and wrapped her arms around her. “Linsey, I’ve missed you so much.”

Linsey was surprised. “Why the enthusiasm all of a sudden?”

Kallie chuckled. “Elma mentioned that because we’re such good friends and she really adores you, she wants you to officially become her godmother.”

Linsey immediately accepted and gently squeezed Elma’s cheek. “Our little Elma is the sweetest. You’re not like Calvin, who always acts all grown up.”
