Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 153:

Hearing Irene’s account, Kallie felt a twinge of unease. She hadn’t realized things were so serious on Brent’s end. Despite this, Brent was doing his utmost to assist her.

Boris, who seldom interacted with Kallie, consistently kept a cordial tone during their brief exchanges and had even offered help the last time they met.

Yet Kallie couldn’t dismiss a nagging suspicion about Boris’ true intentions. It seemed there might be layers to this situation yet uncovered.

Both Brent and Boris noticed Kallie simultaneously.

Brent made to walk over, but Boris was quicker, dashing toward Kallie with enthusiasm.

Boris called out, voice tinged with surprise, “I didn’t expect to see you here!”

Kallie offered a polite smile, typing a message on her phone explaining she was here to meet Brent.

“Kallie is a friend,” Brent told Boris sharply. “You should concentrate on understanding the project over there. They want you to learn from me, not delve into my private life.”

A frown crossed Boris’ face, his expression wounded. “Brent, why must you put it that way? You know I don’t have a choice. They—”

“That’s enough,” Brent said, cutting Boris off with an impatient wave of his hand. “Can you leave now?”

Boris, with a reluctant nod, turned and left.

Kallie watched Boris go, her brow furrowed with concern. She typed some words on her phone, cautioning Brent not to antagonize Boris on her account. After all, with Jake’s watchful eyes on Brent, making an enemy of Boris could complicate things further.

Brent’s face remained stern. “I’m not targeting him because of you. I genuinely can’t stand the guy. If he wasn’t my aunt’s son, I’d have thrown him out a long time ago. Anyway, let’s drop that subject. What brings you here today?”
