Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine Read Online Free

Chapter 105: As soon as Allison stepped out of the Stevens familys villa, she dialed Gordon, her voice cutting through the line with an icy edge.

Any sign of Keanu yet? Earlier, she had been too preoccupied to notice the blatant lies, but she didnt have the time to dwell on the fact that she had fallen for them.

Keanus health, on the other hand, was no small matter.

Gordon quickly skimmed through his records and hurriedly reported his findings.

Mr.

Stevens is in Etron.

Looks like hes actively avoiding the rest of the family, spending time on his own.

Hes perfectly healthyno medical issues to report.

Gordon chuckled in amusement.

Not only is he fine, but hes rather spry for his age.

He even signed up for a skiing trip! Allison let out a breath she hadnt realized shed been holding.

At least Keanu was wellthat was all that really mattered.

She guessed hed gone abroad out of frustration with her divorce from Colton.

With a resigned sigh, she accepted that some things just werent meant to be.

She and Keanu, despite everything, were never destined to be family.

Back home, she began to pack.

Rebecca, as always, was a step ahead, organizing everything as though they were preparing for some grand event.

Allison rubbed her temples in mild frustration.

Im just moving, not evacuating.

Why does it feel like were preparing for the end of the world? When Allison had moved into the Green familys villa, she hadnt brought much, but now it seemed her belongings had multiplied during her time there.

Rebecca had gone so far as to pack unopened kitchenware.

Im just worried about you living alone, and really, its not that much, Rebecca responded, unbothered, her hands quick as she double-checked the boxes.

She was only doing this out of concern for Allisons well-being, and she wasnt going to let the latter move unprepared.

All right, but just so you know, everything here is from me.

If you try to refuse, Ill get angry! Before Allison could argue, Rebecca called her over to help load the car.

Come on! Im helping you move whether you like it or not! More books available at gαℓησvℯls․com When they arrived at the house near Muisvedo, Allison understood exactly what Kellan had meant when he said the home security was top-notch.

It was ironclad.

The villa was an impenetrable fortress, nestled comfortably among towering skyscrapers.

The entire area was dotted with high-end private clubsthe kind only the rich and famous could affordwhich was why security was so tight.

Most people wouldnt even be able to set foot on this street.

The villa itself was grander than Allison had imagined.

Luxurious touches adorned every corner, from the elegant neoclassical façade to the pristine fountain in the yard, a miniature replica of the one at Bellagio.

In a word, the place could easily be mistaken for a royal palace.

Three hundred a month for this? Rebecca quirked an eyebrow, a teasing smile playing on her lips.

Shed assumed the rent was for a high-end apartmentnot a villa fit for royalty.

Isnt Kellan supposed to be some kind of business genius? Whys he offering such a terrible rate on his own property? No ones going to believe hes renting this place for just three hundred bucks! Allison rolled her eyes, already dialing Kellans number.

Stop it.

Hes just doing me a favor because of his niece, she replied, brushing off Rebeccas playful jabs as she listened to the line ring.

As soon as the call connected, she came to her senses and blurted, Thank you, Mr.

Lloyd.

Im at the property, and the rate you gave me is truly a steal.

With a chuckle, Kellans voice came through casually, What are you thanking me for? If anything, I should be thanking you for the medicine.

Anyway, are you free tonight? Id like to take you out for dinner.

Allison heard Rebeccas audible gasp beside her.

Rebecca tugged at her sleeve, her expression saying more than words ever could: You still think theres nothing going on between you two? Trying not to laugh, Allison cleared her throat.

Mr.

Lloyd, youve already done so much with that generous discount.

I couldnt possibly impose on you more.

Really, it was no trouble at all… Her laugh was soft, attempting to gently decline his offer.

But Kellan wasnt so easily brushed aside.

Twirling a small gadget between his fingers, he leaned back in his chair, a slow smile spreading across his face.

Its not just about dinner, he began, the amusement in his voice undeniable.

I forgot to mention that the villas equipped with the latest security system.

Any intruders will trigger an alarm that notifies the Lloyd Group.

The only catch is, the control panel is with me.

Ill need to drop it off.

Allison paused.

It was a good excusea very good one.

She bit her lip, knowing she couldnt wriggle out of this one.

Then, I suppose Ill see you this evening, Mr.

Lloyd.

As soon as she hung up, Rebecca burst into a wide grin, practically bouncing on her heels.

Well, looks like dinners on Mr.

Lloyd tonight! She looped her arm through Allisons, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Come on, hurry up and finish unpacking! Weve got just enough time to go shopping for a new outfit.

Its been forever since we had a girls day! Allison smiled, realizing how long it had been since shed taken a break from work.

Okay, okay, she said with a grin.
