Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1475:

In the Fletcher household, Beth’s decisions were absolute. Everyone in the family doted on her, and her engagement to Clayton only fueled her self-satisfaction.

Typically, Beth heeded only Clayton’s words. She rarely showed kindness to anyone else, and those who crossed her rarely escaped unscathed. Challenging her was simply not worth the risk.

Once the butler left, Beth turned to Caitlin, flashing a strange smile. “Tonight, you’re coming with me. You’re going to see the big scene.”

Caitlin felt uneasy.

Instincts told her this wasn’t going to end well. Caitlin knew she shouldn’t attend that party.

She tried to refuse. “Miss Fletcher, maybe it’s best I don’t go. I’m not versed in the etiquette like you. I’d probably just embarrass myself there. Perhaps I could go with you and wait outside instead?”

Beth scoffed. “Don’t think I can’t see through you. You just want to look pitiful in front of Clayton and make it seem like I’m treating you poorly. Why else would you turn down my offer when I’m trying to be nice?”

Beth appeared resolute in her decision.

Left with little choice, Caitlin reluctantly agreed.

With Caitlin’s hesitant agreement, Beth seemed pleased and finally walked away.

Caitlin remained anxious.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Fletcher family’s estate, Clayton’s earlier anger and frustration seemed to dissipate instantly. He smiled slightly and closed his eyes as he sat in the car.

His assistant, noticing this, looked at him with a worried expression. “Mr. Morgan, you’ve known Miss Cooper suffers at Miss Fletcher’s hands. Isn’t it too late to step in now? Miss Cooper didn’t seem thankful today. She might even resent you.”

Clayton slowly opened his eyes, his handsome face showing a hint of impatience and disdain. “Idiot. The fact that Caitlin didn’t show gratitude today just proves she likes me. She’s trying to protect my relationship with Beth by acting indifferent. She’s actually supporting me.”

Pondering Clayton’s words, the assistant realized it made sense, and his eyes lit up. “You’re truly smart, Mr. Morgan. So, what’s our next move? Should we just sit back and watch Miss Cooper suffer?”

Clayton lightly tapped his fingers on his knee, his eyes flashing with calculation. “Nah. If I don’t step in, Beth might continue to push Caitlin too far. It wouldn’t be good if Caitlin got hurt. I’ll make it a point to defend her during this time. When the moment is right, she’ll be less resistant toward me. Well, keep tabs on Beth, especially if she tries to take Caitlin somewhere. Inform me immediately.”

The assistant nodded quickly. Just then, his phone buzzed. After a glance, he relayed the information to Clayton, “Mr. Morgan, there’s an update. Miss Fletcher is dragging Miss Cooper to a party tonight. It looks like Miss Fletcher might cause a scene there.”

Clayton nodded. “This might be the opportunity I need.”noveldrama
