Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1113:

However, Elma, feeling rejuvenated, was not about to hold back. She snapped back with cutting precision, “If your mentor is truly such a paragon of virtue, why haven’t you followed in his footsteps? You’ve acquired the skills but none of the morals. You linger by my father’s side solely for financial gain, don’t you? You’re just as materialistic as those you disdain. Without embodying your mentor’s values, you lack any ground to criticize others.”

With renewed clarity and vigor, Elma unleashed her words like a volley of arrows, turning Lacey’s cheeks a fiery red—not from embarrassment, but from sheer rage.

Lacey’s hands itched to retaliate with a slap, but with Jake nearby, she restrained herself.

Observing Lacey’s struggle to contain her fury, Kallie couldn’t help but feel a twinge of triumph. However, she approached Elma, gently lifting her and murmuring, “There was no need to provoke her. Remember, we’ll be meeting her mentor shortly.”

Elma wrapped her arms around Kallie’s neck, muttering reluctantly, “I didn’t intend to, but she kept taunting you. She’s unbearably cruel.” At that moment, Jake strolled up, his curiosity piqued, and he inquired in a tone that hovered between casual and concerned, “Who? Who’s been taunting you?”

His voice carried a balanced tone, neither booming nor whispering, yet it made Lacey tense up instantly.

Kallie shot Lacey a loaded glance but opted to keep the truth under wraps, dismissing it with a nonchalant wave.

“Nothing serious. Just a little banter. Is the convoy on its way?”

Jake glanced at his watch and nodded affirmatively. He cast a look back at the sprawling mountains, his brow furrowing with the onset of a nagging headache.
