Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 224: Upon learning that Kellans legs had made a miraculous recovery, Hoyt was left speechless.

His shock quickly turned to fury, his expression hardening to one of pure coldness.

He lashed out, sending his assistant sprawling to the floor with a savage kick.

He was faking it this whole time?! Hoyts frustration boiled over as he seized a vase, smashing it against the assistants head.

What good are you all? You couldnt even see through a deception this big! Letting him pull the wool over our eyes for so long is unforgivable! His eyes blazed with fury, bloodshot and seething, while his entire demeanor radiated violence.

Ive been throwing time and money into a bottomless pit! The disaster on the yacht was bad enough, but to think youve failed every time after all this effort… its a bitter pill to swallow.

Now, get someone to take him out.

I dont care how, just make sure hes six feet under! The more Hoyt brooded over the situation, the angrier he became.

A disabled Kellan had been irksome enough, but now that he was a healthy and legitimate heir, Hoyt felt eclipsed, unable to stand tall in his own right.

Just as Hoyt was about to explode, a calm, gentle voice cut through the tension, accompanied by a polite knock at the door.

Hoyt, arent you a little old for throwing tantrums? His mother, Nova Lloyd, entered the room.

Seeing the assistant in such a miserable state on the floor, she bent down and helped him up with surprising tenderness.

Now, now, dont hold it against Hoyt.

Hes young and prone to fits.

Youve worked hard this month; Ill make sure you get a bonus.

The assistant nodded nervously, not daring to look up.
