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

Chapter 1076: "I've been hearing rumors lately that the Lloyd family and Mr. Morgan are in conflict. Could that be true?"

"If Mr. Morgan really walks away over this and stops considering investment projects, it would be a huge blow to Ontdale."

He was about to say more when Allison placed her hand gently on his.

She picked up the brooch and held it up, speaking calmly, "While I don't know why it broke so suddenly, it's possible that someone with hidden motives tampered with it. But what's clear is that, whether you look at the material or the design, any expert would know that this brooch is worth hundreds of thousands. If the Lloyd family truly wanted to go after someone, they wouldn't waste money on something like this." Allison's face remained calm, showing no sign of panic. As the situation grew more chaotic and tense, she only became more composed.

"There's a saying in Ontdale, 'lose money to avoid misfortune.' It's likely that this golden cheetah brooch was mistaken for Mr. Morgan's double by bad luck. Now that the brooch is broken, it means the danger has been averted. That's actually a good thing."

Her words were clever. She implied that the brooch had been tampered with while also suggesting that its breaking had spared Fabian from bad luck.

Fabian, who had been upset, slowly started to reconsider after hearing Allison's explanation. What she said made sense. If he had wanted to provoke someone, he wouldn't have gone to all that trouble-designing an expensive brooch, spending hundreds of thousands, only for it to be broken.

Fabian was knowledgeable about jewelry. With a quick glance, he could tell the brooch had been made by a skilled designer. He nodded in agreement. "You're right. Maybe it did spare me some misfortune."

However, Melany couldn't stay quiet any longer. "But the truth is, this brooch is broken. No matter how nicely people speak, how can a broken item be seen as a gift?"

Kellan shot her a cold look. "Miss Johnson, are you trying to cause trouble?"

"Mr. Lloyd, are you threatening me just because I've exposed your real intentions?"

In the past, Melany might have been intimidated by them. But now, with everyone watching, Melany felt more confident. Besides, the polite front had already been dropped.

"Anyway, if it were up to me, I wouldn't have the nerve to give such a broken gift." She even let out a dramatic sigh. "After all, once a brooch is broken, it's nearly impossible to fix."

Before she could finish, Allison cut in. "Miss Johnson is right; a gift should always be flawless."

Allison turned to Kellan. "Kellan, could you go to the car and get the toolbox from the compartment?"

When Melany heard this, she frowned. "You don't plan on fixing the brooch here, do you?" No, it couldn't be so. After all, she had never heard that Allison had learned jewelry design. Or was she just putting on a show?
