Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 285: Next week, theres a charity ball and auction, Lindy said, her glare sharp.

You and Colton better not embarrass the Stevens family like you did last time.

Her voice dripped with sarcasm as she cast a pointed look at Melany.

Just because I let what happened before slide doesnt mean you get to act all high and mighty.

Melanys expression remained composed, innocent even.

It was just a misunderstanding.

It had absolutely nothing to do with me.

Despite her calm demeanor, Melanys fingers subtly brushed the business card shed kept from Nova.

The exquisite brooch from before lingered in her thoughts, fueling ambitions she had carefully kept hidden.

Initially, she had hoped to win Coltons support, but aligning herself with the Lloyd family now seemed far more beneficial.

Nothing to do with you? Lindy scoffed, her voice thick with disbelief.
