Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife's Escape - Chapter 808

Chapter 808:

The truth dawned on Errol: Sarah had spun a web of control over every moment on the cruise, orchestrating everything from the shadows.

Back then, without Jake by her side, Sarah struggled to find another man who caught her interest. The Payne family was the best she could aim for.

Having researched Errol’s schedule, Sarah intentionally showed up at every event he was likely to attend, hoping to encounter him. She went to great lengths to be near him. Yet, Errol failed to even remember her name. All her efforts were in vain.

When the news broke of an impending engagement arranged by the Payne family for Errol, Sarah was thrown into turmoil and resorted to desperate actions, misleading Errol into believing they had a one-night stand. Upon discovering the extent of her manipulations, Errol demanded a divorce.

At first, Sarah resisted, even threatening to take their child as leverage. Later, for reasons unknown, she reluctantly signed the divorce papers. From the look of Sarah now, it was obvious she hadn’t agreed to the divorce willingly.

The divorce gnawed at Sarah, a constant pain in her heart.

Now, Kallie had brought it up in front of everyone, causing Sarah to shake with suppressed rage. “You!” she exclaimed, her hand shooting up, poised to strike Kallie. But Kallie was quick, seizing Sarah’s wrist.

“Oh, can’t handle a bit of mockery?” Kallie taunted, her smile icy.

Clenching her teeth, Sarah confronted her. “Kallie, when did you turn so sharp-tongued?”

Sarah thought back to the days when Kallie was timid and meek, always bullied yet never retaliating. Despite Kallie’s later return to the formidable Nixon family, known for its forthrightness, her words had never cut this deep or left such lasting marks.

Kallie couldn’t help but find humor in Sarah’s complaint, retorting, “So, it’s fine for you to mock me, but not the other way around?”

Sarah’s rage dissolved into a flush of frustration. “It turns out you’re not the saint you claim to be!”

Sarah didn’t withdraw her hand, instead leaning in to murmur into Kallie’s ear, “Maybe we’re mirror images. I walked away from Jake, and you sent him to his grave. Before you mock me, perhaps you should examine your own credentials?”

Sarah looked at Kallie expectantly, bracing for an outburst.

But Kallie remained serene, her smile unfazed as she inquired, “You walked away from Jake?”

Sarah raised her head, her pride in her actions unshaken. She always saw herself as the one who bravely left Jake behind, while Kallie had merely taken over what she discarded. Admittedly, both the timing and style of her departure from Jake’s life lacked any hint of glory.

Kallie sighed. “Sarah, do you really not see the man Jake was? He always had a trick up his sleeve. You really think the obvious blunders of the Reeves family slipped by him unnoticed? You assumed he was out of cards, yet he was already two steps ahead. Did you really walk away, or did he make you let go of him?”

With each word from Kallie, Sarah’s face turned ghostly pale.

“This is absurd!”

Sarah exploded, her composure shattered.

Kallie’s laugh was cold and mocking. “Surely, you can tell if I’m spouting nonsense. You traded your past with him for what you perceived as a life of luxury and prestige, severing any chance of making amends. Jake’s retaliation against the Miller family was a direct result of your betrayal.”

The weight of the revelation made Sarah’s legs buckle, and she nearly collapsed. Driven by an unexpected storm within the Miller family at that time, she felt an urgent need to marry, as if that decision could restore some balance.

That year, the Miller family seemed to have unwittingly crossed someone. First, their products were slammed with quality complaints, followed by a tax investigation revealing evasion. Her parents were apprehended overnight.

At that point, the Miller family chalked it up to misfortune, oblivious to Jake’s involvement.

A question popped into Sarah’s mind: If Jake had ever loved her, could he have been so cruel? Realizing her monumental mistake, she sobbed, her heart filled with sorrow and regret.
