Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 329: Colton! Melany rushed to his side, helping him to his feet.

You cant scare me like this… She had called his name several times just moments earlier, but Colton hadnt even spared her a glance.

What was worse, his entire focus had been on Allison, especially when she turned to leave.

He even called out her name without hesitation.

Fury boiled within Melany.

Men truly did have one eye on their meal while the other was always searching for something more enticing.

As Colton collapsed in a fit of rage, fainting on the floor, Melany felt utterly helpless.

Yet, her mind never strayed far from the badge.

Gritting her teeth, she chased after Allison.

Allison, dont you feel the slightest twinge of guilt? Its your fault Colton ended up like this.

If anything serious happens to him because of that slap, youll have to answer for it! There was no way Melany was going to let Allison walk away victorious after everything that had unfolded during the auction.

She had suspected Allison of scheming from the start, but nothing had prepared her for the audacity of bidding forty million dollars! Her tone shifted slightly, softening as she continued.

I understand you didnt mean for this to happen.

In the past, Colton may have neglected you because of me, and I can see why youd still be angry.

But that badge… its extremely important to us.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to steady her emotions.

In Melanys mind, everything Allison had done todayfrom her outrageous bidding to that bold slapwas nothing but petty revenge.

But patience is a virtue when it comes to achieving great things.
