Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 309: Is it because Im with Colton now? You keep trying to drive a wedge between us.

Melanys voice trembled with emotion, her eyes brimming with tears.

Although she had started the quarrel, she now cried so pitifully that anyone watching might think Allison was the one in the wrong.

Everyone else, except for Colton, stood by with indifference.

Allison, stop spreading lies about Melany, Colton said as he bent down to help her to her feet.

Seething with anger, Colton latched onto this as his moment to strike at her pride.

Mr.

Lloyd invited you as his female companion, yet you cant even afford a decent piece of jewelry? Allisons eyes narrowed, measuring the perfect moment to cut him down where it would hurt most.
