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

Chapter 123: When lunchtime rolled around, the office buzzed with chatter as employees gathered, eager to indulge in gossip and catch up on the latest drama.

What do you think of the new boss? Whats her story? How did she manage to catch Mr.

Lloyds attention? one employee wondered.

I heard Mr.

Lloyd had to invite her several times before she finally agreed to come on board.

Just then, Marcs phone buzzed with a new message.

Use any method you need to get Allison out of the company.

Once you do, theres a handsome reward waiting for you, plus a chance to join the Stevens Group.

The message, sent by Melany, came with an extensive dossier.

Marc had crossed paths with Melany years ago when she attempted to siphon information from Charisma Company, enticing him with bribes to do her dirty work.

It had been an easy gig, so why not take it? As for Allison, Marc had already plotted her removal, even without Melanys prompting.

After all, Allison came off as manipulative, and there was no way she could be superior to him! That woman must have seduced Mr.

Lloyd! A smug smile crept across Marcs face as he lazily typed back, No worries, Miss Johnson.

Consider it done! He then scanned his colleagues, noting the mixed expressions on their faces, and adjusted his glasses.

You know, I heard our new boss has a questionable past.

Remember Miss Johnson, who just arrived today? No wonder she harbors such animosity toward Allison.

After all, Allison snagged Mr.

Stevens, stealing Miss Johnsons fiancé! Marc continued in a conspiratorial tone, I have solid intel that Miss Johnson and Mr.

Stevens were childhood sweethearts.

She probably flew abroad out of sheer frustration.

A voice chimed in nonchalantly, Well, in the end, true love always finds a way.

Marc shook his head, as if they just didnt get it.

The kicker is, Allison and Mr.

Stevens just split, and now shes moved on to Mr.

Lloyd! But the Lloyd family is as prestigious as they come; its not exactly a walk in the park to break into their circle.

Everyone was so wrapped up in the gossip that their lunches lay forgotten, eyes gleaming with excitement.

Life in the office could be painfully mundane, and nothing was more enthralling than juicy rumors.

Marcs latest revelation reminded everyone of something significant.

Get the newest chapters gαℓησv????ls․com Kellan was the heir to the Lloyd family, and he needed to marry someone of equal standing.

Exactly.

Theres no way the Lloyd family would let an orphan become their lady.

Right, and Miss Clarke is divorced.

Shes probably just a fling.

Yeah, if she stumbles, shell be the first to go! The small group that had been reprimanded earlier that morning now felt a sense of satisfaction.

They began scheming to make Allisons life miserable.

Fueled by the reward Melany had promised, Marc ramped up his plan, spreading the rumors throughout the company in just three days.

Even the cleaning staff were in the loop.

During work hours, everyone stuck to their tasks, but at lunchtime, they gathered with their lunch boxes or takeout, intentionally avoiding Allisons company.

People like her need to be reminded of their place! However, after a day or two, they began to notice that Allison seemed blissfully unaware.

She went about her day solo, seemingly oblivious to their silent shunning.

But the rumors continued to darken.

Aimee overheard two men in the stairwell saying, I wonder how our Miss Clarke managed to land in Mr.

Lloyds bed.

Aimee bit her lip, contemplating whether to turn a blind eye.

Ultimately, she slipped into the lab while everyone else was eating.

She looked up to find Allison deeply engrossed in an experiment, a wave of sadness washing over her.

Allison might have parachuted into this company, but she was a shareholder, exceptionally skilled, and the reigning champion of the Perfume Contest.

Why should such a qualified individual be treated like dirt? Having faced workplace slander herself, Aimee felt a pang of empathy.

Miss Clarke, sorry to interrupt.

Allison turned to find Aimee looking downcast, as though on the brink of tears.

Whats wrong? Is something bothering you? Some people are spreading horrible rumors about you… Before Allison could offer words of comfort, Aimee spilled everything that had transpired over the past few days.

By the end of her confession, Aimees voice quivered with emotion.

Those people are unbelievable.

If theyre jealous, they should just admit it instead of hiding behind whispers.

Its so unfair! Allison felt a mix of gratitude and amusement.

She gently patted Aimees shoulder.

Those kinds of people arent worth your energy.

But I truly appreciate you sharing this with me.

Keep an eye on them, will you? Ive been meaning to observe their antics for a while.

Allison saw this as a prime opportunity to catch the troublemakers off guard.

After all, I wont tolerate any nonsense in the lab I oversee.

Her voice had grown steely.

Aimee felt a warmth in her heart from the reassurance and nodded, saying firmly, Okay, Ill keep a close watch for you.

Allison smiled at Aimees determined demeanor.

Aimees earnestness was endearing; her emotions were transparent, yet it seemed she was still holding something back.
