Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 77:

Jake’s forehead creased as he watched the video of Kallie’s once-familiar smile, a smile that had once been reserved for him but was now shared with someone else.

“Mr. Reeves, please take a look…” Edgar began, laying out several public relations strategies.

Jake gestured for Edgar to wait. “Hold on.”

He replayed the video clip, watching closely. In it, Kallie was communicating through sign language, her smile soft and gentle. The video focused on that smile, although her hand movements were somewhat blurred. But Jake, familiar with Kallie’s signing, understood her message: “My marriage is quite unhappy, so when you decide to marry, choose someone you love, not someone others pick for you.”

“Is that Brent she’s talking to?” Jake asked, though he already recognized him.

“Yes,” Edgar confirmed with a nod.

“Fine…” A cold smirk formed on Jake’s lips. Kallie had shared personal details about their marriage with Brent. Despite Jake’s trust in her fidelity, this revelation stung deeply.

“So, Mr. Reeves?” Edgar prompted, sensing the growing tension. It was unusual for him to linger this long without clear direction, and he was becoming concerned about how Jake would handle the situation. Kallie had recently visited the office to bring Jake lunch, and everything seemed fine between them. But this incident had clearly shaken Jake, and Edgar feared that Kallie was in for a difficult time.

Jake finally spoke. “Go find out who started this.”
