Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 250: Rebecca arched an eyebrow, her voice laced with curiosity.

Allison, didnt you always say that short-track speed skating was just for fun? Yet here you are today, wagering the Ruby Jade.

Arent you worried that those two might set their sights on it? She knew all too well that Allison was as sharp as a blade, rarely bested by someone as incompetent as Colton.

Still, the value of the jade was no small thing.

Rebecca had long understood the deeper layers of the situation, knowing why Keanu had entrusted Allison with such a precious family heirloom.

In Ontdale, almost everyone was vying for Allisons attention these days, fully aware that Keanu held a commanding share of the Stevens Group.

Marrying her could fast-track someones entry into the Stevens Groups fortune.

You can never be too careful, Rebecca added, giving Allisons shoulder a gentle pat.

I bet Colton and his sidekick are so blinded by greed theyd stoop low enough to steal the jade if they could.

Allison smiled, a knowing look in her eyes.

As long as youre around, they wont get far.

Rebeccas grin widened, proud and confident.

Of course not! Her arm looped casually around Allisons shoulders, radiating confidence.
