Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 690:

Kallie’s hands clenched into fists. “I haven’t done anything wrong,” she retorted. “Why should I leave? This is my friend’s engagement party.”

Kallie let out a humorless laugh, her eyes locked on Cara. “You keep telling me to leave. I have to ask, who’s the one clinging to the past? Or maybe you don’t trust your husband. Perhaps you think he’ll cheat on you, and you’re just trying to bluff and threaten me.”

Kallie’s words struck a nerve. Cara flushed, anger bubbling up in her chest. “You’re talking nonsense!” she shrieked.

Kallie stood tall and smirked. “Cut the crap. You know damn well I’m not talking nonsense. I’m just being upfront. Jake’s with you now, so I’m not going to dwell on my history with him.”

Cara clenched her jaw, her eyes burning with resentment. “Oh really? If you’re so honest, then you should wish Jake and me a long and happy marriage. Just like you did for Miss Simpson and her fiancé earlier. Go on, wish us well.”

The smile slowly faded from Kallie’s face. Reasoning with someone so malicious was futile. Cara didn’t care about making a scene. She just wanted to twist the knife.

Kallie was puzzled. She hadn’t contacted Jake or tried to find out anything about him since learning the truth from Clayton. After everything she’d been through, she wasn’t about to get entangled in someone else’s relationship. Jake had moved on—so why should she bother him? Cara’s animosity seemed to come out of nowhere.
