Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 800:

Sometimes, Lacey found herself secretly comparing her own image to Kallie’s, only to feel as though she was always a step behind. Yet, beneath it all, Lacey believed she was more noble than Kallie. While Kallie had relied on a man, Lacey drew strength from her relentless hard work. She often mused that if she had been born into a wealthy family like Kallie, she might have become just like her— and perhaps she might have even met Jake first.

Lost in thought, Lacey and Jeanette found themselves standing at the entrance of the store. Just as Lacey was about to step inside, she hesitated, a sudden realization hitting her. She frowned slightly and said, “Actually, I’m not a fan of these clothes. Let’s go. They look uncomfortable to wear.”

Jeanette pouted and said, “Lacey, you’re lying. I think you want those things. Jake gave us a lot of money. He said it’s what we deserve, and we should treat ourselves better. He’ll give us more in the future, so don’t hold back.”

Lacey laughed, shaking her head, but her resolve not to go into the store remained firm. “No, I really don’t like them.”

“Fine,” Jeanette replied, lowering her head, no longer pressing the issue.

As Lacey held Jeanette’s hand, preparing to leave, a mocking voice sliced through the air.
