Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 21:Colton, who had been pampered since birth, had never experienced anything like this.

Keanu, who had made an impressive recovery after his stay in the hospital, swung his cane with precision, hitting the tender spots where the pain would linger the longest.

Colton's face drained of color, while Allison stood there, so indifferent.

as if the whole scene took place in a distant land, far removed from their concerns.

Get out! From this moment on, neither of us will ever set foot in this mansion again without my permission.

Keanu bellowed, his voice echoing through the room as he shoved them outside.

Once the door slammed shut, he collapsed onto the couch, his chest heaving with heavy breathing.

Allison, unmoved by the storm that had just broken loose, calmly poured him a glass of water and handed it to him.

Keanu, take care of your health.

That cane of yours has been with you for years.

It would be a shame if it broke.

Outside, Colton struggled to his feet, pulling Melany along as he staggered forward.

He hadn't even caught his breath before Allison's contemptuous words, carried on the wind, almost made him stumble in fury.

Did Allison truly believe that he was worth less than a cane? Keanu, sinking now under the weight of it all, spoke with a quieter voice, full of regret.

I feel sorry for you.

After decades of navigating the choppy waters of business, never shedding a tear for anyone or anything, Keanu found himself feeling genuine remorse.

He had raised an ungrateful soul, a disappointment who had not only betrayed his benefactor, but had tarnished the reputation of the Stevens family.

"Are you really never going back?" Keanu asked quietly, his voice strained by the heaviness of the situation.
