Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1483:

Caitlin’s resentment and grievances started to spiral out of control. The harder she tried to suppress these feelings, the more they clawed their way back up—each attempt only deepened her sense of humiliation. Beth knew exactly what to do to push Caitlin over the edge. Without warning, she reached out and yanked the mask off Caitlin’s face.

They had been at a previous party where Kallie had publicly acknowledged her identity as her cousin. Some of them would undoubtedly recognize her now.

Beth intentionally raised her voice to embarrass Caitlin in front of everyone, shattering any hope Caitlin had of keeping her dignity intact. With tears in her eyes, Caitlin couldn’t help but stare at Beth. Her voice was shaky as she asked, “Why?”
