Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 193: Allison noticed the staff members exchange uneasy glances, as if they were about to say something.

Before they could speak, she interjected, I helped the owner of this institute once, and weve been friends ever since.

Its not as sordid as youre imagining.

Colton and Melany, predictably, couldnt find any membership records in her name.

After all, Allison wasnt just another member she was an investor.

Still, she had no interest in revealing that part of her connection.

Colton sneered, clearly insulted.

You think anyones going to believe that story? Only a toddler would fall for that, he scoffed, his skepticism deepening.

The idea of her saving the institutes elusive owner seemed too far-fetched for him to digest.

Sensing that Allison didnt want her investor status disclosed, one of the staff members quickly backed her up.

Ms.

Clarke did save our boss life.

Because of that, she holds a special place here.

Its on the bosss orders.

If you insist on causing trouble, we will have to take action.

Coltons disbelief was written all over his face, but with the staff affirming Allisons story, their options dwindled.

Despite their reservations, they knew better than to stir up more trouble.

This institute had deep ties with powerful families, and tangling with them was not worth the risk.
