Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 287:

Amara responded sharply, “You need to make time, even if you don’t have it. I’ve carefully chosen this man for you, and you must win him over.”

In a hushed, hopeful tone, Sarah inquired, “Is he as wealthy as Jake?”

Amara’s laughter carried a hint of derision. “Sarah, be realistic. Jake was with you because he genuinely liked you.

I’ve heard the Reeves family is disowning him soon for his supposed involvement in his mother’s death. Though he won’t face criminal charges, he won’t inherit a dime. Stick with him, and you’re choosing poverty. You’ll be the subject of ridicule.”
