Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1466:

Lisa still didn’t understand. Tears streamed down her face as she clutched her cheek. “Why are you acting like this? We’ve done this before. Why is it different this time?”

Her brother didn’t bother answering. His patience had run dry. He slumped into a chair and called for his guards.

The moment the guards seized Lisa’s wrists, the reality of the situation crashed down on her like a tidal wave. Her eyes darted wildly in fear, and her voice trembled as she tried to mask her panic with defiance. “What are you doing? I’m your sister! Are you really going to send me away? Believe it or not, when I tell our parents, they won’t sit back and let you treat me like this over two outsiders!”

His gaze was cold and unforgiving. “I won’t give you that chance. I’m determined to teach you a lesson. You are the way you are because our parents and I have indulged you for far too long. I’m sending you to an isolated island. You will stay there until you’ve recovered from your sickness.”

The word “sickness” nearly made Lisa lose her balance. She immediately understood his intention. He wanted to lock her away, treating her as if she were mentally ill. She knew there would be no way back once she was sent to that place.

Lisa had never encountered such a brutal method before. Her brother had used this tactic on his rivals in the past. Before, she had once made fun of others without realizing she would find herself in a similar predicament. She knew she couldn’t be sent there.

Panic surged through her veins, and she thrashed wildly, managing to injure one of the guards in her struggle.

The guards exchanged glances, but none of them resisted. After all, their injuries would be proof of Lisa’s unstable mental state.

Having been spoiled all her life, Lisa lacked the awareness to grasp the reality of the situation. In the end, all she could do was watch in stunned disbelief as they dragged her onto a small boat.

On the boat, she hurled curses at everyone, but when she realized escape was impossible, she broke down in tears and hugged her knees. She couldn’t fathom why things had turned out this way. Just who were Jake and Kallie, and why was her brother so scared of them? Meanwhile, Kallie and Jake were already on a plane heading home.

Lisa’s brother hadn’t dared to lay a finger on them, nor did he have the audacity to hold them captive. In fact, he was desperate to send them away as quickly as possible.

On the plane, Kallie glanced at Jake and noticed that he was completely absorbed in a document, his brow furrowed in deep concentration. It only took her a second to recognize what it was. “It was handed to you by Lisa’s brother’s political enemies, wasn’t it? Looks…”

“Like they have been gathering dirt on him and Lisa for years, just waiting for the right moment to strike.”

The document contained a damning record of Lisa’s and her brother’s transgressions over the years. Even though Lisa’s brother had put on a display of remorse, apologizing profusely to Jake after the whole ordeal, and although Lisa had been forcibly locked away in a mental institution by her brother, none of it erased their past sins.

People had to pay the price for their actions. They had brought this fate upon themselves.
