Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 298: At the banquet, the soft clinking of glasses filled the air.

Allison sat alone, nursing a glass of champagne.

Rebecca had left earlier to handle some urgent matters at the company, leaving her to sit by herself.

With her head slightly lowered, Allisons delicate features drew attention from all directions.

From time to time, a few brave souls would approach, hoping to strike up a conversation, only to be met with polite indifference.

Why is such a beautiful lady sitting here alone? A man stepped forward with an easy, confident smile.

He was dressed in a tailored suit that hugged his frame, exuding the aura of someone accustomed to wealth and power.

He wasted no time in making his status known.

Im the Vice President of Walnut Group.

Were currently developing a new project in the South Bay Area, and I happen to have access to some very lucrative resources.

As he moved, he deliberately exposed a gleaming Rolex watch peeking out from his cuff, hoping to impress her.

I wonder if youd honor me with a dance? To men like him, women were commodities to be evaluated and acquired, and he had already assigned a price to Allison based on her appearance alone.

Allison barely glanced at him.

No, thank you.

She had finally found a quiet place to avoid Floyd and Gordon, and this mans brazen approach made her feel even more annoyed.

The mans smile faltered, caught off guard.

He wasnt used to being brushed off so casually, and embarrassment quickly gave way to anger.
