Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 129:

Upon reflecting, Rachel now understood Sarah’s decision to stir trouble at her birthday celebration. Sarah had intended to make her the scapegoat.

It was Phillip’s revelation that brought this to light for Rachel. She rose swiftly, seized Sarah by the wrist, and led her outside. “You might think I’m heartless, but I just can’t maintain this friendship any longer.”

Tears streamed down Sarah’s face, her eyes brimming with defiance.

Even at the doorstep, Sarah hesitated to leave and attempted to reconcile with Rachel. “Rachel, I admit I was wrong. My anger got the best of me. Jake and I were okay until Kallie meddled. I lost control and made a foolish mistake. Please, don’t hold this against me.”

Rachel’s expression remained stern, her tone frosty. “Having known Kallie as long as I have, I’m well aware of her character. I don’t need anyone else’s judgment.”

Sarah’s lips trembled, her sorrow deepening. “Yes, it’s true. This was all a big misunderstanding. It’s all on me. Are you really going to cut me off forever?”

Sarah’s eyes welled up as she continued, “I remember you’re into restoring antiques. Hayden never valued your talent, but I connected you with someone better. He’s a world-renowned expert seeking apprentices. If you’re interested, I can set things up. Moreover, Kallie is one of Hayden’s apprentices, and she hasn’t once spoken nicely about you to him.”

Sarah threw in that last bit, watching as Rachel’s expression grew even more severe. Quickly shifting her approach, she added, “But perhaps Kallie faces her own challenges.”

Rachel merely gave Sarah a brief glance. “Thanks for the consideration, but I don’t need it. I’m into restoring antiques, and I’ve already found a better mentor.”

“What? Who could possibly be better?” Sarah asked, taken aback.

Rachel smiled wryly, her tone unyielding. “To be honest, Kallie is incredible. If she agrees, I’ll be her apprentice. So, you needn’t worry about me.”
