Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 248: Whats that supposed to mean? Colton bristled at the mention of the word heir.

It struck a nerve, like poking a hornets nest.

His temper flared, but when it came to Allison, he always felt powerless.

She knew exactly how to push his buttons, and in front of this crowd, he was stuck between biting his tongue or trading snide remarks.

Allison, of course, didnt miss a beat.

Mr.

Stevens, I hear you have two very capable younger brothers.

So, who knows? Maybe the next head of the Stevens family isnt set in stone yet.

But when the day comes, Ill send my congratulations.

The barb hit its mark, and Colton stiffened.

Congratulations from her? He didnt need them, nor did he want them.

Only the urge to wipe that calm expression off her face gnawed at him.

Melany, always quick to fan the flames, piped up, Allison, thats harsh! You were once married to Colton, after all.

Isnt it a bit cruel to say things like this just to hurt him? Her words dripped with false concern, but deep down, she hoped the rift between them would grow.

Lately, Colton had been distant, distracted by thoughts of Allison, and it gnawed at her, stirring up insecurity.

And, Allison, did you show up today just to throw him off his game? After all, you spent years playing the housewife and dealing with health issues.
