Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 348: I thought they were long gone, wiped out, but theyre still crawling back, trying to wrest control of Hackers World from me.

Allisons voice was cold, the frost in her tone unmistakable.

Though Kellan and Ferdinand had done a thorough job cleaning up the mess last time, Allison knew all too well that the true puppet master behind the scenes had yet to reveal themselves.
