Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 345: Thats alright.

I can see where hes coming from, Allison said with a languid stretch, her voice carefree.

Just like when I had to keep an eye on Rebecca, Ive been doing a little digging on Ferdinand while were attending this banquet.

She left a lot unsaid.

In truth, from the moment she met him, Allison had started investigating the entire Lloyd family.

Her approach to Kellan hadnt been by chance.

She opened her hands in a playful shrug, her tone light.

Friends dont keep score.

Besides, Mr.

Lloyd, you dont need to worry maybe Ive already looked into you, too.

Kellan lifted his eyes to meet hers.

Im not worried.

You and I already have a bet.

The two had been locked in a silent battle, trying to unearth each others most guarded secrets.

Allison didnt seem fazed by the situation, and Kellan felt a sense of relief.

After all, he and Ferdinand were close friends, and the last thing he wanted was any tension between Ferdinand and Allison over a misunderstanding.

As the waltz came to an end, a wave of applause erupted.

Clap No one could tell who started it, but soon enough, it spread through the crowd like ripples across water, accompanied by murmurs of admiration under the ballroom lights.

That was incredible.
