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.
