Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 144: Marc hurriedly tried to mediate, desperation creeping into his voice.

Lloyd, please, let me explain.

I didnt mean to spread any rumors, and Ms.

However, at that moment, Kellan exuded an intimidating presence.

Who do you think youre fooling? Kellans voice was sharp, laced with contempt.

Your little tricks are transparent! Youre a mediocre worker, but youre a pro at stabbing your colleagues in the back.

Theres been word that you were the one stirring up trouble at the recent inter-company conference.

I have no patience for rats in my company.

Fire him now! Marcs face turned pale.

He had never imagined that a few ill-chosen words would cost him his job in an instant.

Allisons lip curled into a sneer.

She and Kellan had a knack for sizing people up.

It wasnt worth wasting time on blunt fools with loud mouths, but those who wore sweetness like a mask while sinking the knife in from behind those were the worst.

In some ways, Marc was no different than Melany.
