Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 489:

Jake had been trapped by Anna, believing that everything would be fine as long as Edgar and Lenny were on Sophie’s trail. But Jake hadn’t anticipated the extent of Anna’s madness.

Edgar knelt before Kallie, his face etched with guilt. He slapped himself several times and, with a voice trembling with remorse, said, “Miss Nixon, I’m to blame. I failed to protect your daughter properly. Mr. Reeves is not at fault.”
