Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 79:

“Jerome invited Kallie personally. What’s your problem with that?” Stella and her group were interrupted by a sudden voice. It was Brent, descending the staircase.

Brent clearly held a significant position within the younger generation of the Hayes family. The room fell silent the moment he appeared.

His statement hit like a bombshell. Kallie was personally invited by Jerome. Everyone suddenly remembered that Jerome had brought Kallie on as an advisor for the Hayes Group, offering her a generous salary.

The crowd that had been mocking Kallie moments earlier now turned pale, quickly distancing themselves from Stella. Some even began to cast scornful looks her way.

Isolated and exposed, Stella’s expression soured as the silence around her grew.

Ignoring her discomfort, Brent walked toward Kallie. “My grandpa is waiting for you. Let’s head to the study first.”

At Brent’s words, the room was filled with shock and awe. Jerome was waiting for Kallie and had invited her to the study. The younger generation had no right to keep Jerome waiting, and very few had the privilege of speaking with him alone in his study.

“Could she be dating Brent?” someone whispered once Kallie had left.

“That’s ridiculous! She’s Jake’s wife!” another retorted.

“Ah, so she’s favored because she’s Mrs. Reeves.”
