Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 119: Kallie was at a loss for words in her defense. Sure, someone could have tampered with the video, but what about all the other proof? Kallie composedly retrieved her phone and played a recording. This was from the day she had humbly pleaded with Sarah for compassion.

Engaging in such a low act was a first for Kallie, yet it taught her a valuable lesson.

As the recording played, Sarah's piercing, authoritative voice echoed throughout the room. No one could hear what Kallie had responded, given her inability to speak.

Then cthe climax of the recording. Sarah had said, "Honestly, I did attempt to shove you that day. I just never anticipated your swift reaction and luck. But at this point, it's irrelevant. Regardless of my actions, Jake will always be on my side. Had you actually fallen, nobody would have batted an eye." Each syllable was unmistakably clear.

Casting a sweeping glance around the room, Kallie signed resolutely, making it clear that she wouldn't mind cooperating with an investigation if there was any doubt about the authenticity of this recording. She was ready to have the police scrutinize every piece of it.

Rachel was at a loss for words. She glanced at Sarah, the air thick with tension.

Sarah, overcwith shock and panic, stepped out from behind Rachel and delivered a stinging slap to Kallie. "You lying bitch! None of this is real! Kallie, you've really outdone yourself, haven't you? How could you stoop so low?" Latest chapters in glovls.om Kallie staggered, nearly losing her footing from the impact.

Cradling her reddened cheek, Kallie faced Sarah with resolute eyes and had her phone articulate her thoughts with the text-to-speech function. "Stoop low? I learned that from the best. If you hadn't resorted to such tactics, I wouldn't have either. This is your own doing. You have no one else to blame. If you don't want secrets exposed, don't create them." Sarah, quivering with fury, attempted to justify herself. "It wasn't me! The video's a fake! Kallie must have paid someone to mimic my voice!" Yet, Sarah's voice faltered as she noticed Jake nearby.

Others might be in the dark, but Jake knew the truth.

Amidst the online backlash, Kallie had becreclusive. She lacked the tand means to hire a voice impersonator.

Moreover, Jake already had proof that Sarah's fall was an accident.

Yet, Sarah refused to give up. She had endured so much just to bring Kallie down, and now this cunning Kallie had managed to flip the script.

With the unmistakable proof of Kallie's innocence, Sarah's subsequent words of defense fell on deaf ears.

A comparison between the recording and the video made it evident: Sarah had attempted to shove Kallie but ended up losing her balance and falling.

Even with the truth revealed, Kallie received no apologies.

To them, Kallie was merely an insignificant mute, nothing without the backing of the Reeves family. And now, with her tense relationship with Jake, most assumed Jake sided with Sarah.

Someone attempted to lighten the mood with a grin. "Okay, let's settle down. It was all just a big misunderstanding. Miss Miller probably just stumbled, and it looked like Mrs. Reeves pushed her down. Now that we've cleared that up, perhaps Miss Miller could apologize. It's not the end of the world." Sarah, visibly upset, gestured to her forehead. "I'm the one who got hurt! I'm the real victim here, while she's perfectly fine! Why on earth should I apologize?" The mediator persisted, saying, "You've got a point, Miss Miller. You have indeed suffered enough. Let's put this behind us now." Kallie witnessed the unfolding events and could only sense the irony. Was she to be bullied simply because she was perceived as weak and vulnerable? When the details were murky, everyone was quick to point fingers at her, using the confusion as a pretext to vent their spite.

Now, with her innocence established, they were advising her to dismiss the ordeal and avoid causing a stir. But Kallie was not ready to yield.

Before Kallie could respond, a distinct female voice intervened. "It's easy for you to say. Imagine enduring what Kallie has. She was tormented online, singled out in public, and judged constantly. Would you still manage to be so forgiving?" Kallie turned, startled. Rachel's defense was unexpected.

Sarah was visibly taken aback and stamped her foot in frustration. “Rachel, what's the meaning of this? Aren't we friends? Has that little bitch deceived you as well?"

Rachel avoided Sarah's gaze, her expression icy. "I stand with the truth. You claimed Kallie was tormenting ΟΥΡ you, which ledto disrupt my own birthday celebration to support you. Yet, it turns out she was innocent, the victim here. If you despise her, I'll join you, but you manipulatedagainst her. Do you truly considera friend?" Sarah faltered, guilt shimmering in her eyes. She attempted a justification. "Rachel, you're my friend. Remember the day I intervened? Without me, you would have been harassed. Have you forgotten that?"

Rachel paused, uncertain, but then firmed her stance. She took out two invitations. "You argue Kallie used a counterfeit invitation to crash the event, but what about her husband? Why would he need to resort to such tactics? I entrusted all three invitations to you, not knowing you would change them into fakes and dispatch them to Kallie and her husband. This was supposed to be a celebration, my celebration. A true friend wouldn't have stirred chaos today." "But... You!" Sarah gasped, feeling the weight of the condemning glares surrounding her.

Ever since her disfigurement, Sarah had grown acutely sensitive. She had of always carried herself with pride. Now, under the scrutinizing gazes others, she found herself consumed by overthinking. Why were they staring at her like that? Were they ridiculing her? What reason did they have to mock her? She would never be at fault. The one at fault should be Kallie. As the whispers grew louder, Sarah's complexion turned ashen, and she staggered, eventually collapsing onto the floor.

The crowd gasped in shock. Amidst the chaos, Rachel couldn't just stand by and promptly called for help, urging someone to rush Sarah to the hospital.

Kallie spotted Jake among those concerned onlookers by Sarah's side and wasn't surprised. She pondered whether he would hold a grudge against her for shaming Sarah in public, but she realized it no longer mattered. She had cleared her nand could finally move out from under the sroof as Jake.

Yet, there was something far more pressing she needed to address.
