Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1376:

Caitlin’s face drained of color, a mix of shame and frustration washing over her. Her eyes filled with tears, but she clenched her jaw, refusing to let them spill. The shouting had drawn the attention of everyone around. A few people recognized Beth and Clayton, and their looks at Caitlin turned into icy glares of contempt.
