Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 20:

“I… I…” Sarah faltered, her complexion ghostly as terror gripped her. Her hands shook violently as she clung to her phone, words failing her.

Jake, stunned, quickly took Sarah’s phone from her trembling hands and answered it.

“Hello?” Jake asked, his voice echoing through the phone in Linsey’s grip.

“You sent someone to kill Kallie!” Linsey yelled, her finger jabbing in Sarah’s direction. “I’ve already called the cops! We have undeniable evidence! You’ve orchestrated a murder, and there’s no escaping jail now!”

Linsey’s glare at Jake was intense.

“I really don’t know anything about this…” Sarah’s voice broke into sobs, her distress palpable.

“The evidence is here, plain as day! What can you possibly say to that?” Linsey barked.

Just then, the man sprawled on the floor stirred and cried out, “I’ll confess everything! Just please, don’t let me end up in jail!”

“Alright, speak up. If you’re honest, I might just let you walk away,” Linsey replied, ready to agree if it meant tarnishing Sarah’s reputation in Jake’s eyes. After all, involving the police wasn’t necessary if she could leverage the Brooks family’s clout to handle the man quietly later.

Tears streamed down the man’s face as he spoke. “I feared Kallie would reveal the truth, so I attempted to kill her. She was constantly demanding money, and I simply couldn’t afford it…”
