Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 113:

“Jake, where did you get this?” Sarah gasped.

Jake gave Sarah a chilling look. “I’ve told you before, if I’m determined to uncover the truth, I have countless ways to do so. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, should it?”

Sarah was at a loss for words. Frustration welled up within her as she bit her lip.

Nothing remained hidden from Jake when he sought the truth. Sarah had always believed Jake trusted her enough not to pry. Yet, here he was, having unearthed everything without her even realizing it.

Clutching at a faint hope, Sarah confessed, “Now that you’ve come to tell me this without directly helping clear Kallie’s name, that means you don’t want to hurt me. Yes, I framed Kallie intentionally. I despise her! Why should she be the one by your side? It should be me!”

Jake pocketed his phone, his tone frosty. “Regardless, it’s not your place to interfere with the matters between Kallie and me. I’m not sure what made you think you ever had a chance. If that’s the case, let me be clear. No one can coerce me into something I don’t want.”

Understanding dawned on Sarah, draining the color from her face. It was a stark declaration. His decision to marry Kallie had been a choice solely his own. But how could this be possible?

From Sarah’s perspective, Kallie was just a useless mute, making her seem like an unlikely match for Jake. Yet, now Sarah had to come to grips with the fact that Jake harbored feelings for Kallie. This sole idea was driving her insane.

Jake’s harsh words continued to echo. “I haven’t made this public yet because I want to preserve some dignity for the Miller family. Do you get what I mean?”

The sound of the door slamming was the final blow to Sarah’s composure. She slumped against the table, her legs nearly giving way. A wave of bitterness and despair overwhelmed her. Despite biting her lip, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

“No way…” Sarah whispered hoarsely, clutching the edge of the table with all her might. “I can’t accept this!”
