Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 195:

Kallie felt neither touched nor moved. She merely thought it absurd. Was Jake threatening Brent? What Jake implied was that their relationship was still ongoing, and the affairs of the Reeves family had no bearing on the Hayes.

Brent’s fists tightened. It looked as though he could hardly bear it any longer.

Kallie, fearing the situation might escalate, quickly stepped up and seized Brent’s arm. She shook her head, cautioning him against rash actions, knowing that falling into Jake and Sarah’s snare would only lead to their defeat.

Catching Kallie’s warning, Brent inhaled deeply, managing to restrain himself.

Jake’s eyes dropped. Noticing Kallie clutching Brent’s arm stirred a discomfort within him, souring his mood further.

“I’m not in the mood to discuss this. I need to speak with Jerome,” Jake declared, his eyes lifting to meet Brent’s with a renewed chill.

Without awaiting a reply, Jake strode toward Jerome.

As Jake passed, he brushed against Brent’s shoulder. To an onlooker, it might have seemed accidental, but Brent was certain—it was a calculated taunt from Jake.

Brent clenched his jaw, casting a side glance at Kallie, struggling to contain his irritation.

As Jake approached, Jerome’s associates tensed, forming a protective circle around Jerome and eyeing Jake with suspicion.

Jake simply arched an eyebrow, choosing to remain silent.

Jerome cleared his throat, trying to diffuse the tension. “It’s okay,” he declared, then gave Jake a pointed look. “It’s been too long since we last had a proper talk, Jake.”

Jake responded with a sincere smile, “True. I meant to visit the hospital a while back, but just couldn’t make the time.”
