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.

Though it was unclear whether Kellan would actually go as far as to throw forty million dollars into the fray, Melanys words were a preemptive strike meant to sting.

She wanted to publicly humiliate Allison.

If, after that remark, Allison did end up using Kellans money to purchase the badge, it would make her the laughingstock of the entire room.

The onlookers, their curiosity piqued, leaned in, murmuring among themselves.

This price is outrageous.

If memory serves, while Ms.

Clarke is a prodigy in perfumery and has won several competitions, her total prize winnings barely scratch 10 million dollars.

I heard she recently joined Charisma Company.

No matter how high her salary, theres no way she could save that much.

Keep it down.

Didnt you hear Miss Johnson? Maybe Ms.

Clarke has someone backing her, like Mr.

Lloyd.

He could easily pull out forty million.

But theyre not even together.

If shes getting that kind of money from him, she must be a gold digger.

Their whispers floated through the crowd.

Even the man in charge of the banquet was visibly perplexed.

Typically, attendees came from wealthy, influential backgrounds and were required to pay a hefty deposit to avoid any sudden changes of heart.

Allisons presence felt out of place.

Nonetheless, the man maintained his polite demeanor.
