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

Chapter 1270: "This stubborn woman would rather fight than settle this peacefully." The leader curled his lip in disgust. Fury burned in his eyes. "Get over here and blast this reinforced electronic door open!"

They had come well-equipped. Explosives were part of their plan. No matter how strong the door was, it wouldn't stand a chance. The explosion would draw attention from others in Aröme Tower, but that didn't matter. The mayor had assured them that everything was under control. There was only one goal - get the chip, no matter what.

"Yes, sir!" The men in black obeyed without hesitation.

Within moments, they sprang into action. Bang!

The explosion shook the air with a thunderous roar. Thick smoke and shattered debris swirled everywhere. The white electronic door was gone, revealing the bare wall behind it.

"Ms. Atkinson, why don't you come out?" The leader's voice dripped with arrogance. "Or don't blame me if you don't leave here in one piece." He was certain that he had won.

Allison's fists tightened. Her sharp eyes stayed locked on the scene. She was poised to strike.

Just then, a figure emerged from the dimly lit lab.

Allison's breath caught in her throat. She stood frozen in shock.

A woman stepped forward. She wore plain white sneakers, black pants, and a lab coat smudged with soot and grime. Her clothes were messy, but she moved with quiet confidence. Despite everything, she looked utterly composed.

As she came into view, her features became clear. It was Lilyana. Her gaze swept over the intruders, her face unreadable. "Even if you kill me, you won't get what you're after."

Allison couldn't look away. Her eyes stayed locked on that familiar face. Lilyana's hair was cut into a sleek, shoulder-length bob. Her delicate features bore a striking resemblance to Allison's. Her eyebrows were finely shaped, her eyes sharp and captivating.

But a long scar cut across that beauty, a cruel reminder of battles past. The scar ran from her right eye to the bridge of her nose, jagged and unforgiving.

Before Allison could react, the leader let out a mocking laugh. "Whether we get what we came for depends on our skills."

His grin twisted into something cruel. "Ms. Atkinson, your courage is impressive, but still, I'll be taking your life."

The moment the words left his mouth, his men lunged at Lilyana.

Allison didn't hesitate. She moved like lightning. Her dagger flashed, an extension of her own will. With a swift, deadly arc, she cut through flesh. Blood sprayed. Bodies fell.

A voice rang out in the chaos. "What are you doing? You're a traitor?" Flashlights snapped toward her, beams locking onto her form. But before they could react, she raised her hand. In a split second, the entire room plunged into darkness.

The basement sank into total darkness. At that exact moment, the security door to the first floor slid open.
