Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 230: Keanu was certainly no saint, and he knew very well that Colton wasnt his only grandson.

After all, his own son had been quite the philanderer, fathering numerous illegitimate children, all of whom were eagerly circling for a slice of the family fortune.

So, Colton had never been that special to him.

Since Colton had become enamored with a woman driven by ambition and power, he had proven himself unfit for any meaningful position within the family.

Keanu had made his disapproval clear by not attending Coltons wedding.

Allison, rest assured, I know exactly who to invite and who not to invite to my birthday celebration, Keanu said, his tone firm.

I wont let you be embarrassed.

Its just a small gathering with a few of my old friends.

With a lifetime of experience navigating family betrayals and business rivalries, Keanu had a sharp eye for people and their intentions.

You must be very busy lately.

I went on a vacation abroad and didnt reach out to you for a while.

How about I introduce you to some of my friends tomorrow? That way, you can explore more business opportunities.

His voice softened with genuine concern.

And remember, men arent a necessity.

In the end, you must be strong on your own! Allison lowered her head, a faint smile forming on her lips.

Thank you, Keanu.
