Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1474:

Caitlin turned to Clayton and said coldly, “Mr. Morgan, please stay out of this. It’s none of your business. Miss Fletcher has been good to me. I don’t want to lose my job over this.”

Clayton looked taken aback, exhaling a heavy sigh of defeat. “She treats you this way, and yet you defend her? Caitlin, where is your self-respect?”

Of course, it’s not mandatory.”
