Chapter 53:The rankings mean nothing to me.

I prefer to trust my own abilities.

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

I'm just here for the show, a little fun aside.

Kellan chuckled, clearly amused by her detour.

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.

It took Kellan only a moment to understand the situation.

The contest was a trivial matter for Allison.

His tone had a tinge of shared knowledge, as if they were both in on the same secret.

This silent connection between them felt like a thorn digging deeper into Colton's side.

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.

Colton, we should go, Melany urged, clinging tighter to his arm.

We don't want to be late for the waiting room.

Sensing her bad mood, he squeezed her arm even more possessively, hoping to brag about their relationship in front of Allison.

Allison had already turned on her heel, walking away without even looking in his
