Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 256: Colton, who had initially found the Lloyd family an irritating bunch, now wore a much more serene expression.

I appreciate your generosity.

If the Stevens Group ever finds itself in need, we might consider a partnership, he said.

Nova, ever the picture of politeness, even spoke on behalf of the unpredictable Kellan, showcasing her keen emotional intelligence.

Colton couldnt help but feel slightly pleased with her composure.

Nova smiled.

Of course.

We should be heading out now.

Take care, Mrs.

Lloyd, Colton offered as a farewell.

Thank you, but theres no need to see us off, Nova responded with a gentle smile that lingered until she was safely inside the car.

The moment the door shut, her smile evaporated, replaced by a cold and severe expression.

As soon as Hoyt slid into the passenger seat, a sharp slap rang out, landing precisely on his cheek.

How dare you air your grievances so openly in front of them? Nova scolded, her voice steely.

What kind of fool have I raised after all these years? Her disappointment was palpable, the weight of it hanging in the air like a heavy curtain.

We finally have an opportunity, and if you even think about messing this up… just wait until were home! Hoyt, his cheek red and stinging, remained silent.

Sensing his inner turmoil, Nova reached out to adjust his collar with a softened expression.

Her tone became sweet as honey.
