Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 900

Chapter 900:

“Think what you like,” Kallie said dismissively. She hadn’t come here to offer fashion advice. Kallie retrieved the amulets from her purse and held them out in front of Lacey. “Perhaps you can explain the meaning of these items,” she said, her voice devoid of warmth.

Lacey’s eyes fell upon the amulets, but instead of appearing apprehensive, she let out a laugh. “It means nothing. I was simply wishing your daughter good luck,” she replied casually.

Kallie crossed her arms, Lacey’s response not surprising her in the least. She stated, her voice laced with menace, “Let me be frank, this entire shop is surrounded by my men.”

“If you don’t tell me the truth, you won’t be leaving here today. I know you must have controlled Jake in some way. I don’t know how you found him or what you’ve done to control him, but I’ll pay any price to get him back. Name your terms. I’ll give you whatever you want. Just return Jake to me unharmed.”

Kallie gritted her teeth, her words full of threat.

Lacey burst into laughter, completely unfazed by Kallie’s threats. “My, my, you have quite the imagination. Who said I’m holding Jake prisoner or controlling him? Perhaps he’s with me because he wants to be. Perhaps he has no desire to see you or return to you,” she taunted.

“Impossible,” Kallie retorted instinctively. Then, a realization dawned on Kallie. Her eyes reddened, and a tremor ran through her body. “Jake… He’s alive, isn’t he?” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion.
