Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 103:

Kallie’s last glimmer of hope for Jake was now shattered, just like the sculpture. Yet, the ordeal wasn’t over.

Kallie and Ethan had just descended the stairs when they were met by an onslaught of media.

The media were supposed to be at the exhibition. However, rumors of someone tumbling down the stairs had transformed the scene into a media frenzy.

Kallie found herself pondering how the news had spread so swiftly. Was this Jake’s way of getting back at her?

However, now was not the time for such thoughts. Ethan swiftly shed his coat and draped it over Kallie’s shoulders.

Kallie shook her head emphatically, pushing the coat away. She gestured that she was nobody, and she wouldn’t be affected much even if she got captured by their cameras. He, however, was a different case due to his status, likely drawing media criticism against him.

Ethan offered a comforting smile. “Don’t worry about me. I’ll clear my name. But it’s crucial you stay out of this mess.”

The moment Kallie and Ethan stepped outside, they were swamped by reporters.

Despite the unclear circumstances, the mere presence of Kallie and Ethan prompted a barrage of inquiries.

“Are you two students here? Can you tell us what just happened inside? Was there a disagreement that led to the girl falling down the stairs?”

“Is the girl who fell connected to you in any way?”

“Did this incident stem from a romantic dispute?”

Ethan seized the moment to usher Kallie into the crowd.

Reluctantly accepting Ethan’s well-meaning gesture, Kallie used her slim figure to weave through the crowd, effectively eluding the reporters who then turned their cameras toward Ethan.

Ethan addressed the reporters with a poker face, “Firstly, I’m not a student here. Secondly, we know the girl, but I can’t explain her fall. Thirdly, if there are any concerns, I urge you to contact the police. Badgering someone like me, who’s just a bystander, won’t help you uncover anything.”
