Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 670:

Jareth’s eyes swept over Kellan, recalling the scene at the security checkpoint when this man had caused a fuss. In his eyes, Kellan was little more than a nuisance, someone easily dismissed. But he had a suspicion that Verruckt had taken an interest in Alice, which meant Kellan might become an obstacle. So, he needed to find a way to separate them.

As soon as Allison thought she could leave, Jareth suddenly spoke to the first-floor supervisor. “Mr. Shaw wasn’t pleased with the cleaning on the first floor today. I want a thorough recheck.”

The supervisor, who had been lingering nearby, stiffened at the mention of Verruckt. His demeanor instantly shifted from lax to authoritative. Catching sight of Kellan, who had yet to leave, he seized the opportunity.

“You there! You’re not going anywhere. Come with me for a recheck!” he barked.

Most of the cleaning crew had already clocked out, leaving Kellan as the only available person to handle the task. Kellan had stayed behind to wait for Allison, not expecting to get caught up in this situation.
