Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 797:

At home, Freya, blushing with embarrassment, hastily ushered Rola away. On their way back, Sophie’s curiosity kept tugging at her. “Mom, how did you manage to get Rola to confess?”

With a sly smile, Kallie tapped Sophie’s nose and teased, “Ever heard the phrase, ‘strike where it stings’?” Despite Rola’s rebellious and unruly demeanor, her true passion lay in playing the piano. Her drive to win at all costs had pushed her to steal Sophie’s sheet music.

When confronting Rola, Kallie laid it out plainly: if Rola didn’t come clean, all of her wrongdoings would soon be known throughout the piano circles. Rola had done more than just this one shameful thing. It was fortunate that Tyrone, a once-celebrated pianist with widespread influence, and his globally recognized students could sway public opinion.

As Rola wavered, Kallie pointed out that her scheming had done nothing but humiliate Sophie and sabotage her chances of victory. Despite the baseless accusations of plagiarism, it wouldn’t diminish Sophie’s innate skill. Rola had stolen Sophie’s composition, but Sophie’s talent was something no one could capture or contain. Before long, the plagiarism talk would fade, and Sophie would still stand out as a gifted pianist. In contrast, Rola would be doomed to remain in Sophie’s shadow, with Sophie present at every competition Rola entered.

After Kallie explained these two points, Rola was visibly shaken. Still green and a bit naïve, Rola felt real fear—enough to quickly concede to Kallie’s terms. Kallie wasn’t asking for much; she just required Rola to own up to her mistake publicly.
