Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 125:

Kallie barely steadied herself. The relief from her close call eluded her, leaving her feeling cold and frantic. When had Jake gotten there? How much had he overheard?

Kallie nervously glanced up at Jake. His dark eyes were impassive, betraying no emotion.

Jake felt Kallie’s gaze but didn’t look down. Instead, he pulled her behind him and advanced step by step toward the elderly woman and her grandson.

The elderly woman flinched at Jake’s approach but stood her ground. “You claim to be her husband, correct? Well, let me share the truth with you. Your wife has been disloyal, sneaking around with a man who bought her that condo. She’s even carrying his child!”

“Oh, is that so?” Jake responded, his smile mocking as his eyes turned icy.

Jake then added sharply, “You seem quite sure of yourself, so it must be the truth.”

The elderly woman thought she had driven a wedge between Jake and Kallie and straightened up proudly.

However, Jake continued unexpectedly, “That suggests you’ve seen it all firsthand, so please describe this man to me. Tell me when he visits, and I’ll review the surveillance tapes. If I find nothing, it means you’ve been lying and spreading rumors. Such an offense can land you in jail. The duration of your stay in the police station would depend on my mood. If I’m feeling particularly upset, you could even be looking at criminal charges, which would jeopardize your grandson’s future, considering you’re his guardian.”

Jake was merely bluffing, but his words about the grandson’s future struck terror into the elderly woman.

The elderly woman’s voice quivered as she spoke. “Why am I being arrested because of your wife’s outrageous actions? I just found it odd that a woman with no means could afford the best condo in town. Plus, she’s always covering her stomach. Doesn’t that suggest she might be pregnant?”
