Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 68:

After Jake issued the command, Edgar quickly took action. With the Reeves Group’s significant influence in the city, delaying a flight and removing a passenger should have been simple.

However, it was too late. The plane Kallie was on had already taken off.

Turning back a plane already in the air would require a serious reason, like an emergency, and was not easily justified. Jake’s expression darkened further, anger flaring in his eyes. Kallie had always informed him of her whereabouts, but this time, she left for Halstead without a word and sent him divorce papers just before boarding.

“Contact our people in Halstead,” Jake ordered, his voice low and tense. “Have them wait at the airport. As soon as Kallie gets off the plane, intercept her. Bring her back to me!”

Meanwhile, Kallie had managed to take a nap on the flight, waking only when Irene gently nudged her as they approached their destination.

Straightening her outfit, Kallie reviewed the schedule again. It was packed. They had a screen test at the studio immediately after landing, followed by intensive preparations for the shoot.

“Thank goodness Mr. Lyndon arranged first-class tickets,” Irene remarked with a smile. “It’ll help us get out of here quickly.”

As Kallie and Irene left the terminal, they were suddenly surrounded by a dozen burly men, dressed inconspicuously as regular passengers. Had they not gathered so deliberately, they would have blended into the crowd.

“Mrs. Reeves,” the leader of the group addressed her respectfully but firmly, holding up a photo for verification. “Mr. Reeves wants you to return immediately. Please cooperate and don’t make things difficult for us.”

Kallie’s heart sank. She had expected Jake to resist letting her go. Even though he had shown interest in ending their marriage and being with Sarah, he seemed determined to make her endure the fallout from their tumultuous five-year relationship.
