Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 273: Kellan tilted his head, casting a sideways glance.

He knew full well that Allison was offering him a hand.

But why? Allison had no personal stake in this disaster.

Nova and Hoyt were walking disasters themselves, and any rational person would keep their distance.

Allisons smile remained soft, but her voice dripped with sarcasm, clearly agitating Hoyt even more.

Ahhhh! Though his mother tried to shield his head, the hot coffee still splattered over him, searing his skin and forcing a pained scream from his lips.

You witch! Youll regret this! Hoyt had never been treated this way in his life.

Despite being born out of wedlock, he had been pampered endlessly, getting whatever he wanted without lifting a finger.

This was the first time a woman had dared to humiliate him like this.

A few moments earlier, Kellan had knocked him down.

Now, scalded by the burning liquid, Hoyt lay helpless, looking like a soaked, beaten dog.

Nova was no better off.

The coffee soaked through her clothes, turning her skin red with burns.

She struggled to maintain her composure, but the pain was too much to hide.

Kellan, is this how you manage your people? Even if you despise Hoyt and me, you shouldnt allow us to be injured on purpose.

Normally, she wore a mask of gentleness, but now her face was cold and severe, radiating hostility.
