Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1516:

Linsey nodded in agreement.

As the people downstairs started to leave, Kallie spotted a lone figure standing. She felt an odd sensation as she recognized the woman as Beth. That meant Clayton was involved in this matter.

With this realization, Kallie felt relieved she hadn’t taken Elma to watch. Although she had no idea what had really happened, she couldn’t care less whether Clayton cheated or not. However, going there with Elma would have made things quite different. Beth could have taken that chance to stir up trouble, complicating matters further.

Linsey picked up on Kallie’s discomfort and asked, “Do you know that person downstairs? What’s with the look?”

Kallie quickly regained her composure and shook her head. “No. How could I possibly know her?”

Linsey hummed. “You’re hiding something. Come on, tell me. Let’s share some gossip.”

Unable to resist Linsey’s persistence, Kallie relented.

To Kallie’s astonishment, Linsey wasn’t taken aback by what she heard. “I already knew about the arranged marriage between the Fletcher and Morgan families. It seemed strange to me. Clayton pursued you for years. How could he just give up? I didn’t dig too deeply, but I heard that Beth was interested in Clayton and pursued him, though their relationship was always on shaky ground. Today was quite the scene. Clayton actually cheated.”

Kallie sat down on the couch, pouring herself a cup of coffee. “It’s not my problem.”

Linsey looked at Kallie, hesitant to say something. “Recently, I discovered something, but I’m unsure whether to share it with you.”

Kallie nodded. “Go on, I can handle it.”noveldrama

Linsey paused but finally said, “A few days ago, I saw Clayton with a young woman. From the back, she resembled you quite a bit. Kallie, I think you should be cautious. If Clayton’s lover looks like you, it might mean trouble for you.”

Kallie frowned at the words, a dull ache pressing against her temples. This was turning into a mess—no doubt about it. But Clayton’s choices weren’t hers to control.

Exhaling slowly, Kallie let her expression frost over. “I won’t pretend the past never happened. Jake and I have been quietly gathering evidence, waiting for the right moment to make Clayton pay. Clayton isn’t stupid—he must have sensed something.”

Her voice tapered off, and a stern shadow crossed her features, sharpening the seriousness of her words.

Linsey caught on immediately. “So, he secured himself a powerful marriage partner.”

Though the Fletcher family couldn’t quite match the clout of the Reeves, Nixon, and Morgan families, their overseas assets were nothing to scoff at—very much like Clayton’s own. If Clayton’s dirty deeds came to light, he’d no doubt have an escape route ready, vanishing into some distant country where the law might never touch him.
