Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 113:Thank you, Lindy.

Melany's smile was sweet as honey, her tone gently reminding Lindy of her new status as daughter-in-law.

Then she turned her thoughts to watching her ex-husband walk out the door; After all, Melany was never one to burn all her bridges.

Even if she had lost her shine, a star that once shone still retained some influence, and who knew when it might come in handy.

Just as she stepped out into the hallway, Colton appeared before her, an illegible expression.

And if fortune smiled on his ex again.

He reflected on his past generosity and then thought of Lindy's disdainful look and how her face had lit up when she spoke of the ten million dowry.

A bitter resentment began to brew inside him.

So, Colton, you don't care, do you? Colton, however, seemed oblivious to the storm of thoughts swirling in his mind.
