Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1481:

“She’s using this whole charade with the media to force her way in. Anyway, please don’t give in, Miss Nixon. She’s clearly up to no good.”

Hearing Trent’s words, a faint, knowing smile curved Kallie’s lips. There wasn’t a trace of anger in her expression. Instead, she reassured him, “Trent, don’t blame yourself. This isn’t your fault. You’ve been loyal all these years, and in my heart, you’ve always been family. How could I possibly blame you? If anything, I share the blame.” She took a slow sip of red wine, her eyes darkening with an icy resolve. “I underestimated Beth. I didn’t expect she had a few tricks up her sleeve.”

Trent hesitated, his eyes flickering with concern as he looked at Kallie. “Miss Nixon, how do you plan to handle this? If the situation with Beth is too delicate for you to deal with, leave it to me. I don’t care about appearances or what people think anymore.”

Kallie exhaled softly. “Relax, Trent. What ruckus can Beth cause in my domain? It’s better to let her in than to let her have her way with her schemes.”

Trent shot Kallie a look of surprise. Despite his shock, he knew better than to question her judgment. Without another word, he turned to carry out her orders.

Soon enough, Beth entered the room grandly with Caitlin in tow.noveldrama

Although Kallie tried to keep the situation under control, some people quickly figured out what had happened when they saw Beth. After all, the commotion outside had not gone unnoticed. Kallie couldn’t cover every pair of eyes in the room.

Murmurs spread among the guests.

“The Fletcher family and the Nixon family don’t mingle. So why is Beth here? Could it mean that Clayton is coming too?”

Everyone in their social circle knew about Beth and Clayton’s engagement, as well as Beth’s deep, almost obsessive infatuation with him.

Beth had a habit of keeping a watchful eye on Clayton. Wherever there was an event, they attended together. But if Clayton so much as exchanged a few extra words with another woman at a party, Beth would sport a sullen expression, broadcasting her jealousy far and wide across the city.

No one could figure out why Beth insisted on coming here tonight. However, they all knew that there would be drama to watch. Both the Fletcher and Nixon families carried too much influence to risk offending, so the best course of action was to sit back and enjoy the show.

Elma spotted Beth immediately.

Beside Elma, Sophie’s frown deepened. She quickly turned to Elma and Jeanette and said, “You two head inside and enjoy yourselves. We’ll take care of the situation out here.”

Jeanette hesitated, curiosity flickering in her eyes as she glanced at Elma. “What’s going on?”

Though Jeanette didn’t fully understand the situation, she could tell the atmosphere had shifted the moment that stunning yet intimidating woman arrived.

Elma sighed, unsure how to explain. Instead, she pouted and muttered, “It’s nothing. She just has a bad temper and loves stirring up trouble. Let’s head inside. No need to let her ruin our night.”
