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

Chapter 1315: "What about me? What do you mean?"

Melany didn't dare to meet Colton's eyes, while his seemed to bore a hole through her skull.

"Between your illegal transfer of the company's assets and your past scheme to frame Allison… There are more than enough charges to land you in prison."

Melany's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. Was he really going to hold her accountable?

She finally raised her head and looked at Colton with tear-filled eyes.

"Colton… I admit it. I took it, but… I was just scared. I was so scared, Colton! I was worried we wouldn't be able to give our child a good life. Please forgive me. Please! If only for our child's sake."

Melany burst into tears and began to sob earnestly. She really painted a pitiful sight.

But Colton was still unmoved. If anything, the forbidding aura around him only intensified.

Then he took out another folder and all but threw it in Melany's face. He bit out his next words through gritted teeth.

"I can only forgive you if you prove that the child is mine."

Melany's mind immediately went to the calls Hoyt had been making to her in the last few days.

She was willing to bet that the imbecile was behind this. He was trying to stir up trouble again!

And so, she decided to handle the situation by playing the victim.

"What are you saying, Colton? You can't possibly think… I would never!" She picked up the folder and opened it, her tears still streaming freely down her face.

"You can't believe anything Hoyt says. That man is a mamac-"

The rest of her words died in her throat as soon as she saw what was inside the Instead of the letters of threat or the chat logs with Hoyt that she had been expecting, it contained a series of intimate photos of her and Hoyt. There was also a detailed record of their hotel bookings, the location of each hotel, and the duration of their stay.

"Colton, you have to believe me! Hoyt threatened me!" Melany felt sheer panic creeping up her spine.

Never in her worst nightmares had she imagined that those photos would be leaked.

But right now, none of that mattered - the most important thing was salvaging the situation.

"I was drunk that night! I didn't mean to sleep with Hoyt! I was just terrified of losing you, so I kept quiet…" Tears streamed down her cheeks.

She was utterly flustered now.

If she got thrown out and charged, it wouldn't just be about paying money - she'd be facing prison.

"Besides, the baby I'm carrying… judging by the timeline, it's not necessarily Hoyt's." Her voice trembled as she sobbed, her eyes brimming with desperation.

She placed a protective hand over her stomach, silently hoping that the child would be enough to soften his heart.

"Colton, no matter what… the baby is innocent. I know I messed up, but can you at least wait until I give birth?" Melany was stalling.

She needed time - just a few months - to find another backer and escape before it was too late.
