Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 126:

Nearby, an onlooker remarked, “This family finally got what was coming to them. They’ve bullied other people countless times.”

Another onlooker shared the sentiment and swiftly chimed in, “Yeah, just the other day, my daughter was playing downstairs when this young boy took her toys and claimed they were his. When this elderly lady showed up, I had hoped we could resolve it, but instead, she slapped my daughter and said we were the ones in the wrong. Can you believe that?”

Someone else huffed, “And remember when this boy deliberately smashed my car window? They refused to take responsibility, acting as if their job at the Reeves Group made them superior to everyone else. If someone had a nicer car than theirs, they’d start spreading vicious rumors.”

Listening to all this, Kallie realized this family truly deserved their fate. Initially thinking the punishment might be excessive, it seemed clear they had brought it upon themselves. Jake had actually helped the neighbors purge this group of troublemakers.

Despite this family’s incessant pleas for mercy, Jake didn’t spare them a look. Instead, he seized Kallie’s wrist and pulled her along.

Kallie nearly lost her balance and struggled to free her hand, shooting Jake a glare. Her eyes and expression clearly showcased her displeasure with his actions.

Jake’s expression remained cold and stern. “Last time you called me and gestured all those bizarre things, I let it slide. If it weren’t for me today, you’d be in shambles because of those people. You should be grateful. Is this how you show gratitude?”

For a moment, Kallie was speechless. She clenched her teeth in frustration and gestured that those were two separate issues, emphasizing that just because he helped her today didn’t erase the wrongs he had committed in the past.

Jake chuckled, gripping Kallie’s chin and forcing her to meet his gaze. “Wrongs? Tell me, what exactly have I done that was so terrible?”

Kallie’s expression shifted slightly, her eyes growing dim. What was there to say? This conversation wasn’t going to yield anything substantial even if she explained.

Jake’s anger intensified. He hadn’t planned on explaining himself, but the words surged out like a tidal wave, demanding release. “Why did you assume I helped Sarah? Am I the only one with access to your room keys? And really, why would I bother with something as trivial as keys?”

Kallie listened to Jake’s explanation with an unchanged expression. Stepping back, her demeanor turned cold and cautious, as if maintaining a safe distance. With gestures, she then demanded to know how Sarah got the keys.
