Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1438:

“You refuse to leave this city? Fine. Then meet one condition. Otherwise, I have tons of ways to ensure you can’t survive in Burmoos. You’ve already had a taste of it, haven’t you? The…”

The feeling of despair, of being unable to find work to make a living.

You should know by now just how powerful I am.”

Caitlin’s pupils contracted, betraying a silent surge of unease.

She immediately understood it was Beth who had been pulling the strings, keeping her from finding work.

But what about the incident with Asho?

Could that have been Beth’s doing as well?

The thought flickered through her mind, but she kept it to herself.

Beth noticed the fear flickering in Caitlin’s eyes, and a wave of satisfaction washed over her.

“What do you want from me?” Caitlin asked, her voice edged with caution.

Beth pretended to think it over before her eyes lit up, a wicked glint flickering in her gaze.

A sudden wave of regret washed over Caitlin.

She wished she hadn’t given Beth this opportunity, but deep down, she knew that even if she could turn back time, she would make the same choice.

She had no desire to leave this place.

After her parents’ accident, they had pulled every last string to send her to Burmoos.

She had sworn to build a good life in Burmoos and live up to her parents’ expectations.

If she left now, her parents’ efforts would be in vain.

All she could do was silently pray that Beth wouldn’t push it too far.

Countless thoughts swirled through Caitlin’s mind, and Beth’s next words took her by surprise.

“Well, I feel a little sorry for making you unemployed. How about you work for me from now on? That way, you can earn your living, and I can keep an eye on you all the time. Isn’t that perfect?”

Caitlin’s unease deepened.

She knew Beth wasn’t offering out of kindness.

But she had already promised Beth.

If she backed out now, Beth would either force her to leave or subject her to some other form of punishment.

That was the power of being wealthy.

It made torturing someone seem effortless.

Caitlin sighed.

“What do you want me to do?”noveldrama

Beth turned and opened the door.
