Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 824:

Initially, Kallie resisted the idea.

However, remembering her agreement to pose as her date at the banquet, she realized that avoiding a joint gift might arouse suspicion.

A feeling of regret washed over her, but she couldn’t find it in herself to act discourteously.

With a soft sigh, she nodded in agreement.

Clayton, stepping forward cautiously, asked:

‘What gift should we consider? I’ll follow your lead.’

Kallie massaged her temples, exhaustion marring her face.

‘You decide,’ she replied resignedly.

Clayton sensed Kallie’s growing impatience, and his eyelashes fluttered slightly as he replied:

‘Okay, I’ll leave you alone now.’

As soon as Clayton walked away, Kallie made her exit.

She was on her way to the Reeves Group, determined to see Clayton’s men off immediately.

Before she reached the office building, however, an unexpected roadblock forced her vehicle to stop.

This road leading to the Reeves Group was known for its sparse traffic.

At first, Kallie remained calm.

However, her calm was short-lived.

Several men with knives emerged from a nearby car.

One of them approached and smashed her car window with a loud bang.

Kallie let out a scream and instinctively covered her head.

The men pulled her out of the car by the wrist, and one of them pressed a cold blade against her neck.

Kallie’s heart was pounding with fear, but she quickly recovered and spoke to them in a calm voice:

‘What do you want? How much did you pay them? I’ll double it.’

There was no response from the men.

Through gritted teeth, Kallie increased her offer.

‘I’ll pay you ten times what they gave you. Just name your price. Money is no object.’

A derisive laugh erupted from the group before a menacing voice responded:

‘Let’s get something straight, Miss Nixon.

You’re not getting out of here alive today.

It would be wise to subdue you and not resist.’

With that, they began to remove her clothes.

Kallie found herself pushed against the bonnet of the car, her body shaking uncontrollably.

She tried desperately to understand who could possibly want her dead.

As these men stripped her naked, Kallie struggled as best she could.

The knife pressed against her throat remained firm.noveldrama

In the midst of the struggle, her neck began to bleed, a torrent of fresh blood pouring down.

A shiver of pain ran down Kallie’s spine.

Any more violent movement would put her arteries at risk.
