Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 324: Melany stood beside him, her expression laced with quiet mockery as she eyed Allison.

Exactly.

If you lack the talent and have to rely on a man to pretend youre something youre not, its quite laughable.

Clarke has someone backing her, like Mr.

Allisons presence felt out of place.

Nonetheless, the man maintained his polite demeanor.
