Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 45: I have a niece, Kellan began, his voice softening.

She is incredibly bright and charming, even though she has autism.

Her only passion is ceramics.

Allison noticed the fleeting softness in Kellan's usually steely expression when he spoke of his niece.

It was a rare display of tenderness from the man known for his cruelty, and it stirred a complex mix of emotions in her, leaving her momentarily unsettled.

As an orphan who had always lived alone, Allison found herself unexpectedly reflecting on her own experiences in light of Kellan's vulnerability.

"I've seen your talent, Miss Clarke," Kellan continued, his tone as cold as that of a business negotiation.

I would like you to teach ceramics to my niece.

In return, I can offer you substantial help.

He spoke with a clinical detachment, as if he were discussing a mere business transaction and not matters of life and death.

My resources could be of great help.

No matter how experienced you are, some things require a more official touch, don't you think? Allison frowned.

He was fully aware of the great influence of the Lloyd family in both business and politics.

Your help could open many doors for her.

With a satisfied smile, Allison crossed her arms.
