Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 154:

Kallie turned her phone screen toward Boris. “Your cousin isn’t fond of deceitful people. If your feelings are real, there’s no need to prove anything. He’ll see it in time. After all, actions speak louder than words.”

Boris’ gaze flickered, as if he had learned something from Kallie’s words. “I get it. Thanks for the advice.”

Boris then shifted the conversation casually. “So, why are you with my cousin these days? I’m not implying anything. It’s just that I’ve heard some rumors and I’m a little concerned about you. Maybe it would be safer if you didn’t go out for a bit. If the Reeves catch up with you, it could cause trouble for my cousin.”

Kallie studied Boris’ face. Judging by his expression, he seemed genuinely concerned for Brent. She quickly typed her response, “Don’t worry. I’m not planning to stay with the Hayes family for long. I’ll be leaving soon.”

“Oh, I see,” Boris responded, his smile broadening as his suspicions were confirmed. Kallie had indeed escaped.

Boris actually had no idea about what had happened. He had just learned that Brent and Jake had a recent falling out. The details, however, remained shrouded in mystery. Given Kallie’s ties to Jake, Boris speculated boldly.

Boris slowed his steps, observing Brent converse with the client. A cold laugh escaped his lips. He no longer held any expectations of Brent. It might be time to seek a new ally. Boris had been pondering over potential candidates. Now, an idea struck him.

Brent massaged his temples, feeling a headache brewing. He was taken aback that a mere manager from the client’s company dared to speak to him so boldly. But he was out of options. All he wanted was to understand the client’s grievances. If he could resolve those, he was prepared to make concessions.

The manager lifted his chin with a smug air. “Mr. Hayes, how about we share a meal, and then I’ll consider discussing matters? Just so you know, I might ask for a favor. I hope you’re not too hesitant.”

Brent’s eyelid twitched, and his expression chilled. “As long as you keep your requests reasonable, I’ll handle it right away. Just remember what you promised.”
