Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 85: Melany did not dare to say a word, her silence weighed on her while Colton seethed next to her.

But Colton was far from willing to let things go.

Mr.

Lloyd, don't think you can let go of your weight just like that! he snapped, his voice cutting through the tension.

At this level, everyone knew what it meant for a powerful company to support someone.

It was more than just support; It meant a deeply rooted alliance, a tangle of destinies.

The look Kellan had given him earlier, as he handed him the bag, was impossible for any man who understood the game to misinterpret.

Melany's poisonous whispers had entered Colton's mind, binding him to his rage.

Any remaining guilt he had for Allison evaporated like steam from a hot iron.
