Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 53:The rankings mean nothing to me.

Allison dodged Kellan's question completely, using her words to poke Melany slightly while wearing a carefree, almost playful smile.

His tacit understanding was palpable.

Allison was deliberately downplaying her true potential, and it didn't go unnoticed.

Intrigued, Kellan smiled and said, Well, in that case, I wish you the best of luck, Miss Clarke.

The thought that the woman who had once been at his side side now sharing an unspoken relationship with another man ate away at him.

It disturbed him more than he wanted to admit.

Even though they were divorced, the fact that Allison had once been his only added insult to injury.
