Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 322: Colton, watching from across the room, had no idea what had just happened.

But hearing Allison place a bid of fifteen million dollars left him stunned.

Allison? He couldnt believe what he was seeing.

Even though the VIP section was far away, he recognized her voice without a doubt.

But how could she afford such a bid? Before he could process his confusion, Melany leaned closer, her expression strained but trying to stay composed.

Colton, maybe shes just trying to provoke you.

Theres no way Allison has that kind of money.

She was certain Allisons move was nothing more than a ploy for attention.

What other reason could she have to bid so aggressively? More importantly, as far as Melany knew, Allison was still just a regular office worker.

She hadnt married into the Lloyd family or acquired any hidden fortune.

Where could she possibly get such a staggering sum? The only explanation was that Allison was bluffing.

It had to be a tactic.

Shes bluffing, Melany muttered, frustration barely contained.

Ignore her.

Lets just keep bidding.

She cant know the true value of this badge.

Coltons gaze hardened at her words.

Shes really going all out with her petty tactics.

But they were determined to get the badge.
