Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1465:

When Lisa returned home, she stormed through the grand entrance, searching for her brother. The butler and her assistant exchanged uneasy glances but said nothing. Lisa didn’t notice, too wrapped up in her own outrage.

“I am back!” she cried out to her brother, her voice raw with emotion. Gone was the arrogant, untouchable woman from earlier. Now, all that remained was a tear-streaked, desperate mess, rushing straight for her brother’s study.

“That Avalon businessman—Jake! He’s so ungrateful! He humiliated me! Right there in front of everyone!” Her breath hitched as she gestured wildly at herself, her tear-streaked face twisting with outrage. “Look at me! I’m a complete mess—covered in dirt, my skirt ruined! And it’s all because of him! His guards dragged me out like garbage, right in front of a crowd! And do you know what else he said? He said that even if I were the last woman on earth, he still wouldn’t look at me! I have never—never—been treated like this in my entire life!”noveldrama

Lisa waited for her brother to explode in anger, but he didn’t. Instead, he sat, his expression gloomy, unreadable.

Lisa mistook his silence for shared rage. A slow, satisfied smirk crept across her lips. Perfect. Jake had crossed a line, not just with her, but with her brother. Now, he would pay the price. So, what if Jake tried to flee back to Avalon? As long as her brother made a move, Jake and his entire family wouldn’t even make it to the plane.

Lisa strutted over to her brother and boasted, “In the end, Jake still fears our influence. He offered to pull out his company.”

“What?” Her brother, who had been sitting in stony silence, suddenly sprang to his feet. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Lisa. Too caught up in her own excitement to notice his reaction, Lisa continued, “It’s true! That means we should keep targeting Jake and his wife. I still want to vent my anger. Let’s make sure they can’t leave, trap them here with no way to open a business or find work, and starve them for a month to see how long they can keep up that tough act. I want Jake on his knees, begging to be my man. And as for his wife… We will sell her into prostitution.”

Lisa eagerly devised her plan. The mere thought of everything falling perfectly into place sent a tremor of excitement through her. Although this wasn’t the first time she had done something like this, it would be by far the most satisfying. She relished the sight of proud people brought to their knees before her.

Once Lisa was finished, she grabbed her brother’s arm and shook him urgently. “Hey, don’t just stand there! Send someone to detain them immediately. It would be bad if they escaped.”

She was so caught up in her triumph that she failed to notice the fury radiating from her brother.

Just as she was about to question his silence, his hand suddenly shot out, striking her hard across the face. “You are an absolute fool!” he bellowed, his voice trembling with rage.

Lisa’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked at him like he was a stranger. “What are you doing? Why did you hit me? Have you lost your mind?”

Her brother’s face turned ashen, his breath coming in ragged gasps. For the first time, his gaze toward Lisa brimmed with resentment and unspoken accusations.

His hand shot up, trembling as he pointed at her. Fury burned through him like wildfire. “I can’t believe I have such a reckless fool for a sister! Do you have any idea what you’ve done? You’ve offended Jake! Are you trying to drag me down with you?”
