Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 73

Chapter 73:

“Stella, why are you here?” Brent’s voice cut through the tension as he unexpectedly appeared in Kallie’s office.

He was holding a stack of documents, likely there to deliver something, but his expression darkened as soon as he saw Stella. “Who gave you permission to be here?”

“I… I just wanted to check…” Stella’s earlier arrogance melted away in Brent’s presence, replaced by a hint of meekness.

“Check what? You don’t have any authority in this company. There’s nothing for you to check.” Brent’s disdain was obvious in his curt tone.

“How can you say that? I’m part of the Hayes family too…” Stella retorted.

“Being part of the Hayes family doesn’t give you any rights here. You don’t own any shares of the Hayes Group, and meddling here is unacceptable. I’ve let it slide before, but next time, I’ll involve Grandpa.”

Stella flinched at the mention of their grandfather, remembering how Jerome had slapped her at the banquet, showing no concern for the guests.

“Brent, I was just checking on Kallie,” Stella tried to explain, before adding smugly, “And by the way, Hannah, Kallie’s mother-in-law’s niece, is getting ready to marry you…”

Before she could finish, Brent cut her off sharply. “Who told you Hannah and I are getting married? I’ve made it clear that it’s not happening, and Grandpa knows this. Where are you getting these rumors from?”

Stella looked visibly embarrassed.

“Leave now,” Brent said, his patience wearing thin. “Or should I call security to escort you out?”
