Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 74: On a bridge near the Jazmín restaurant, tensions were running high.

Melany, please go down first.

We need to talk about this, Colton shouted as he hurried to catch up with her, only to find her perched precariously on the edge of the bridge.

In her white dress, Melany was puffy-eyed and sorrowful, her frail figure swaying on the railing, the roaring river behind her.

a heartbeat away beneath her.

Colton, ever since that perfume contest, I feel like your spark for me has gone out.

You forgot about my stomach pain as if it didn't matter.

Melany's complexion was ghostly, as delicate as a butterfly about to fall.

I have never confessed to being a Scarlet Serpent, and I won my championship fairly.

You have any idea how much I've wanted to be Scarlet Serpent.

I just want to support you, even if it's just a little.

Her voice trembled, thick with emotion, as if she were saying her last words.

I became so consumed by Scarlet Snake's perfumes that I became lost in daydreams.

I'm sorry to have caused you to lose that association with the Everett Group.

If she had known that Allison was Scarlet Snake, she would never have made such a silly mistake.

Tears ran down her cheeks as she pretended to wish Colton well.
