Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 31:

Hayden, wearing a stern expression, signed directly to Gregory without bothering to type down his thoughts. He stressed that even before Gregory had entered the industry, Kallie had already demonstrated her skills to him—impressive enough for him to take her as his apprentice right then and there.

Far from convinced, Gregory lifted his chin arrogantly, gesturing that no one else present, except for Hayden, had witnessed Kallie’s competence. He claimed this was hardly convincing for the other apprentices. Besides, even if Kallie had shown talent in the past, it didn’t mean she still possessed it now.

Casting a dismissive look at Kallie, Gregory added that her current responsibilities as a married woman might cause her to juggle between restoration work and family duties, leading to a decline in her performance due to her divided focus.

It dawned on Kallie that the events of the previous day might have circulated within their social circle, though she wondered how much Gregory truly knew.

“Deal!” Gregory seemed to be waiting for just such a response.

Without hesitation, Gregory walked over to a nearby table, grabbed something, and returned.
