Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 215:

“Stop!” The shout pierced the air, resounding sternly from the doorway.

Recognizing the voice, Brent’s fury surged, yet he mastered his temper just enough to let go of Jake, his actions marked by a resentful reluctance.

Jerome staggered in, each cough racking his body and slicing through the tense silence, a clear testament to his emotional turmoil.

Without missing a beat, Jake dialed Edgar, instructing the latter to receive Jerome properly, a gesture of concern that Brent viewed with icy contempt.

“Utterly hypocritical,” Brent muttered under his breath.

Jerome fixed a sharp gaze on Brent. “I’ve mentored you for years, hoping you’d learn to steady your impulses. Yet here you are, as rash as ever,” he chided.

Brent retorted, a mix of defiance and frustration coloring his words, “This isn’t about impulse. It’s about justice. How can he just trample over Kallie’s feelings? She’s missing, for crying out loud! I’ve been tormented by worry and haven’t slept a wink in days. Grandpa, I know you share my sentiments. But what about Jake? He should be desperate since he’s still her husband! And yet, he barely acknowledges her!”

“Enough!” Jerome’s command cut through the mounting tension, a sharp reminder of his authority.

Brent turned his head sulkily, pursed his lips together, and stormed out of Jake’s office.

Jake adjusted his slightly disheveled clothes and cast a respectful glance at Jerome. “Jerome, I’m really sorry for making you worry,” he said earnestly.

Jerome stepped closer, lowering his voice as he inquired, “Is Kallie okay?”
