Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 81:You! Colton bellowed, disbelief clear in his voice.

Allison had become completely unmanageable! In their three years of marriage, no matter what outrageous demands he or his mother made - no matter how absurd - they were never met with resistance.

Allison always agreed.

But now, it seemed that he would have to pay a much higher price to get his way.

If you agree to this request, we will not only give you a sum of money, but we will give you 5% of the shares of the Stevens Group.

And let's face it, you never know when you might need something from the Stevens family, Colton proposed, certain that his offer was generous.

After all, the entire Stevens family would owe Allison a favor if she accepted the offer.

What more could she want? Allison responded with a cold, distant, ambiguous laugh.

Colton thought he could lure her with emotional manipulation.

However, it was obvious that he had no intention of handing over those shares to him.

He believed that a few flattering words would be enough to cajole her.

What a farce.

The partnership with the Everett Group was worth much more than the 5% they were offering.

When he had crawled to Kellan, practically on his knees, he had promised him 10%, and that was just for an introduction.

Now, he expected her to hand him an opportunity on a silver platter for a mere fraction of that.

I don't remember intelligence testing being done here.
