Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 231: The next day, at the Stevens family residence.

What is Keanu trying to pull? Lindy seethed, her voice sharp as she slammed the guest list onto the table.

Is he deliberately humiliating me? Its his 80th birthday, and I, his rightful daughter-in-law, am not even on the guest list! Meanwhile, hes tacitly allowing your father to bring that homewrecker and his illegitimate son to the celebration.

Even Allison was invited! Rage bubbled inside her as she gripped the wine glass too tightly, flinging it across the room where it shattered into pieces.

Ignoring the pain in her hand, she rubbed her temples, the headache building as fury clouded her vision.

Colton, your grandfather is intentionally ignoring us.

Its a blatant show of disrespect! Lindys fiery gaze shifted sharply to Melany, her eyes brimming with hostility.

Keanus disdain for Colton since his divorce from Allison had been more than evident.

Hed cut off all contact, retreated abroad, and hadnt even returned for Colton and Melanys wedding.

He was trampling on their dignity! Lindy knew full well that, despite Colton being her only son, Keanu had other grandsons.

Coltons insistence on marrying Melany had only deepened the old mans disapproval.

The thought of the financial support Melanys parents still hadnt provided set Lindys temper ablaze.

In the end, Melany, its because Keanu doesnt like you! It was all this homewreckers fault! Feeling the weight of Lindys venomous glare, Melany lowered her gaze, feigning helplessness.
