Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 266: I didnt mean it that way, Jim stammered.

Despite everything, the unspoken hierarchy was clear.

Hoyt might be an illegitimate child, but he was still a Lloyd, whereas Jim, a mere butler, held no such status.

A graceful woman in an exquisite, traditional dress stepped forward and placed a comforting hand on Jims shoulder.

Dont take it to heart, Jim.

Hoyt sometimes lets his emotions get the better of him, especially when it comes to Lorna.

With flawless makeup and a serene expression, Nova radiated elegance.

She dabbed at the corner of her eyes with a tissue, tears brimming in her gaze.

Why does Lorna have to endure so much suffering? Have they caught the kidnappers yet? Was it for money, or do they bear a grudge against us? From the moment Nova appeared, she hadnt acknowledged Allisons presence, not even with a glance.

Her questions hung in the air, met with an uncomfortable silence.

Most of the Lloyds still harbored contempt for Allison, viewing her as nothing more than a homewrecker.

Why is no one answering? Hoyt barked impatiently, his irritation rising.

My mother is genuinely concerned about Lorna! Why is everyone standing around like statues? And where the hell is Kellan? It was only after his outburst that he finally noticed Allison.

His gaze lingered on her, a sly, almost mocking smile creeping onto his lips.
