Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 308: Gordon stepped forward, positioning himself squarely in front of Melany.

His face radiated a haughty disdain.

During the banquet, hed done his homework.

Hed uncovered the details: in the three years since Allison had disappeared, she had been in Ontdale, married to Colton.

And Allison, being the gracious person she is, never held it against you.

But youve got the nerve to come here and provoke her? His lips curved into a smile, but the ice-cold malice in his eyes made everyone present shudder.
