Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 91: You really have a way of reading me like an open book, Allison admitted with a touch of humor.

How could I hide something from those eagle eyes of yours.

They shared a knowing smile, each thinking the other was cunning in her own right.

After all, building a strong relationship with Kellan was like planting a seed in fertile soil: it could only lead to fruitful results.

The key was to gain her trust and, more importantly, forge a connection with her grandmother.

By the way, there are several competitions in the coming months.

The speed parkour race is in two weeks.

What do you say? Are you interested? Rebecca's eyes were shining with excitement, fully aware of Allison's love for extreme sports.

With a mischievous smile, he added: I love watching you compete.

You have an innate talent, it's like you were born for this.

Competitions, huh.

Allison reflected, calmly taking a sip of water.

The prizes are worth it.

Not bad.

First place takes a million, so you can bet the competition will be fierce.

But something tells me that that amount of money isn't what motivates you: you already have more than enough, Rebecca responded with a knowing shake of her head, finding it amusing that someone as rich as Allison would continue chasing smaller prizes.

You've got three hundred million hidden in that black card account abroad.

Why not take advantage of it? Or better yet, take advantage of the benefits of the Jasmine restaurant.

Ten million is nothing to you.

But Allison shook her head, her expression turning serious.

That account is untouchable for now.

I am going to use that money to boost the perfume company I founded in Vrining and to expand into other companies.
