Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 877:

“Yet, hold firm to the belief that diligence is never squandered. Although lineage holds its weight here, chances do too. Now, I find myself in a position to extend a hand. Take these kids, for example. I’m here to support them as best I can.”

Kallie’s words carried a heartfelt fervor, her eyes shimmering with unfeigned sincerity, showing not a trace of duplicity.

Had Lacey not been privy to Kallie’s hidden facets, at least that was what she assumed, she could have been fooled. A sly chuckle rippled from Lacey, her eyes twinkling with enigmatic significance.

Lacey placed her coffee down deliberately, a serious look crossing her face.

“Let’s cut through the small talk. I approached you today with a specific intent. I’ve tasted the delights this world has to offer, and I’m eager for more. It’s unnecessary to dismiss me as superficial. I understand that the lure of affluence and prestige is too tantalizing to ignore. My proposition is simple. From this moment, embrace me as a sister figure to you in this game of thrones. Should I step out of line, you’re free to sever our bond. I’m no puppeteer, but I desperately need your influential web to etch my name into the annals of Burmoos.”

Kallie’s reaction was a mix of shock and intrigue, momentarily lost for words.
