Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 56

Chapter 56: With Colton interrogating Allison, the one who was most nervous was not the accused, but Melany.

She had never explicitly claimed to be the Scarlet Serpent, but over the years, she had allowed others to believe it.

Melany had quietly enjoyed the praise and the mystique attached to that name.
