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.
