Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 906:

The air grew thick as the two men locked eyes. Clayton’s face shifted, going from pale to dark as he regarded Jake with an unreadable expression. Jake raised an eyebrow, recovering quickly and offering a polite smile.noveldrama

“Mr. Morgan, what a surprise to see you here.”

Clayton’s gaze was icy as he replied, “Oh, come on. Drop the act and the facade of maintaining politeness. I know what you’re up to, and I am waiting for you to make a move. Just remember, anything you try against me will annoy Kallie.”

Clayton flashed a taunting smile.

“In case you haven’t noticed, I’m very important to Kallie now.”

Jake remained unfazed, responding calmly, “So? Does Kallie really matter that much?”

Clayton blinked, taken aback by Jake’s indifferent tone. He couldn’t quite grasp Jake’s attitude toward Kallie, though he suspected it might be due to his past manipulations. Feeling a surge of confidence, Clayton leaned closer and murmured, “Since you already knew the situation, let me be blunt. You shouldn’t have returned. Kallie has enough on her plate without dealing with you. If I were you, I’d stay out of this country. You’re only setting yourself up for trouble.”

Jake’s eyes darkened, a flash of hostility crossing his face as he gritted his teeth.

“Then let’s see who ends up in trouble.” With a swift motion, Jake signaled, and his bodyguards quickly restrained Clayton.

Jake said flatly, “From now on, put up a sign at the gate: ‘No entry for Clayton or pets.’ He’s just a nuisance. Well? What are you waiting for? Drag him out.”

For the first time, Clayton found himself forcibly removed in front of so many onlookers. He struggled awkwardly, but it was no use. Humiliated and furious, Clayton shouted at Jake, “I’m here to see Kallie! Even if you don’t want me around, you don’t have the right to kick me out!”

“Is that so?” Jake replied, almost amused, as he strolled over slowly. He extended his hand, revealing the company seal. “See this? Kallie just handed it over to me. And let’s not forget this company was mine from the start. It’s ridiculous that you plan to take away my possessions by controlling her. Do you even know who you’re dealing with?”

Clayton’s eyes widened as he saw the seal in Jake’s hand. Kallie had handed over the company seal to Jake so easily? He had assumed that after all these years, her feelings for Jake had faded. Therefore, even if Jake came back, she wouldn’t willingly give up the Reeves Group. After all, the Reeves Group’s success was largely due to her efforts, with many projects linked to the Nixon Group. Yet here she was, relinquishing it without a second thought.

Jake continued with a cold smile. “Oh, and don’t think I’m unaware of the spies you’ve placed within the Reeves Group. Clayton, I’ll deal with them in due time.”

With that, Jake’s tone turned frigid. “Escort Mr. Morgan out. If he refuses, toss him into the street.”

The bodyguards acted immediately, dragging Clayton out as his face turned ashen. Roughly, they threw him down the stairs, where he tumbled, clutching his chest and coughing up blood from the impact. Jake looked down at Clayton’s weakened state, a glint of amusement in his eyes.

Just then, hurried footsteps approached.

Kallie had just arrived and witnessed the scene before her. Her eyes twitched as she took in Clayton’s battered condition.

As Clayton and Jake locked eyes, a tense silence filled the room. Clayton’s strained groans broke the stillness. Kallie stepped forward, her brow furrowing as she took in Clayton’s pale face.

“Clayton,” she murmured, moving closer. “Are you alright?”
