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?”

Otherwise, why would she stay despite how I treat her? Listen, Caitlin, if you act right today, I might even let you off from compensating for my scarf. How about this? Kneel and show you’re sorry. Of course, it’s not mandatory.”
