Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife - Chapter 1430

As Jake recounted the details of his predicament, the situation gradually became clearer to Kallie.

Lisa’s background was far from ordinary. She was, in fact, a princess of Ysland’s royal family. Jake had been strategizing to expand his business overseas, a venture that necessitated interactions with the royal family. It was through these dealings that he had become acquainted with Lisa’s brother. While Lisa and her brother weren’t particularly high-ranking within the royal family, they nonetheless wielded a certain degree of influence.

Outsiders, observing their interactions, assumed that Jake was attempting to curry favor with the royal siblings. In truth, Jake merely maintained a cordial relationship with them. He simply preferred to avoid making enemies, and he had no desire to go out of his way to win their favor. After all, his business empire was formidable enough to withstand any potential maneuvers the siblings might attempt.

The royal family of Ysland was not known for its naivety. It was simply not in their best interest to alienate a promising and successful entrepreneur like Jake.

Lisa, however, had fallen prey to the rumors circulating about Jake’s intentions, convinced that he was reliant on her brother’s influence. To further complicate matters, she had developed a romantic interest in Jake. This was already her third visit to the company, each time demanding to see Jake. Each time, Jake had politely rebuffed her advances. He had even explicitly rejected her affections, but Lisa, blinded by her arrogance, had completely disregarded his rejection.
