Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1322:

“Alright then,” Clayton said softly. He looked up at the portrait hanging on the wall and sighed.

“It’s a shame your grandson died so young. He never got married, never had children. But Jake is different. Even without Kallie, he still has three wonderful children, and his company just keeps growing. He’s already incredibly successful. Once his kids grow up, the Reeves family will be unstoppable, and challenging them will become a daunting task. And your grandson is dead, unable to do anything about it. The person who killed him is living the good life.”

Gracelyn remained silent, but her hands betrayed her inner turmoil, trembling slightly.

Clayton knew swaying Gracelyn would not be an easy feat. He sensed she had other motives for keeping Kallie here, secrets she held close. Clayton aimed to needle Gracelyn, forcing her hand and making her choose between the options he’d presented.

Sensing the moment was right, Clayton rose to his feet, a smile playing on his lips.

“Since you’re not in the mood for a chat, I won’t disturb you further. But I can see you’re lonely. I’ll be sure to visit again soon.” He turned and walked toward the door. As he opened it, he nearly collided with someone entering. It was none other than Jake. Jake’s eyes narrowed, instantly hardening with murderous intent, a chilling coldness settling over him.

Clayton, on the other hand, looked pleased with himself, even offering a smile.

“Well, well, look who it is,” Clayton said, a smirk on his face, pointedly not using Jake’s name.
