Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 24:

“Hey, I could smell something foul from a mile off. Looks like it was just a couple of piles of garbage!” Sarah’s friend had a razor-sharp tongue and a cruel nature. She pinched her nose, shot Kallie and Linsey a scornful glance, and rolled her eyes dramatically.

Linsey stood her ground, undeterred. “I’m obviously referring to you. Can’t you grasp simple things? You’re really stupid, aren’t you?”

“And neither has she, right?” Sarah retorted, pulling a gold membership card from her purse.
