Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 297: As Allison and Kellan approached the room on the third floor, a familiar voice floated through the door before they even entered.

Dont worry, Ms.

Clarke is just downstairs.

Youll get to see her soon, Ferdinand was saying.

When he glanced at the list of auction attendees in his hand, his smile seemed harmless enough.

Our recent meetings have all been set up by our families, so Miss Green, I hope you can forgive me.

Heh, as if Id want to see you, Rebecca shot back with a cold laugh.

Ferdinand tilted his head, as if amused by her attitude.

Miss Green, are you angry? Of course, Im angry.

After the banquet ends, Im planning to toss you into the high seas, so I dont have to see you fluttering around and annoying me every single day.

Rebeccas irritation with Ferdinand was almost clear for all to see.

But the moment she spotted a familiar figure outside the window, her expression brightened.

Allison, finally, youre here! Rebecca swung the door open, waving enthusiastically.

Long time no see, Allison.

The two women embraced lightly, a rare reunion after being caught up in their own busy schedules.

Kellan, watching their exchange, gave Ferdinand a measured look.

Ill leave Ms.

Clarke here to catch up with her friend.

We have a few things to discuss.

Rebecca huffed, giving Ferdinand a dramatic eye-roll.

Lets get out of here.

Allison and I are going to enjoy the banquet first.

You two can do whatever you want.
