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

Chapter 19: Mrs.

Stevens, youre blowing this way out of proportion.

Im just reclaiming whats mine.

Theres no need to turn this into a battlefield.

Besides, Ive already arranged for my things to be packed up at Green Lake Villa.

By the time I meet Keanu, itll all be done.

After today, well be strangers.

Allison glanced at her watch.

The Stevens family has more money than they know what to do with.

Surely, you wouldnt be clinging to an invitation like this.

Lindys face flushed red with fury at Allisons indifference.

We dont need anything from you! Colton quickly jumped in, standing by his mothers side, glaring at Allison as if she were a splinter under his skin.

If Id known you were such a petty woman, I would never have let you set foot in our home.

Give her the invitation and get her out! Allison didnt so much as blink, her calmness cutting deeper than any retort could have.

The more she ignored him, the hotter Coltons temper flared.

If it wasnt for the fact that you saved my grandfathers life, Id never have married someone like you Before he could finish, a voice thundered from the hallway.

You ungrateful fool! Keanu stormed in, his eyes blazing with disappointment as his butler helped him.

Without warning, Keanu lifted his cane and struck Colton across the back.

What kind of grandson did I raise? Youve been hoodwinked by that woman! He jabbed his cane toward Melany, his rage impossible to miss.

If it werent for Allison cleaning up your mess, would you even have the life you have now? Colton stammered, scrambling for some defense.

I… I havent forgotten.

But Melany was trapped in that marriage by her parents.

What was she supposed to do? Just like I was forced to marry Allison because of you Smack! Keanus hand cracked across Coltons face before he could finish.

Youre an idiot, Colton! Melanys pulled the wool over your eyes! Watching Keanu, the only person in the Stevens family who had ever shown her any real respect, Allison was deeply moved.

She stepped forward to steady him.

Keanu, please Dont get so worked up.

Your health cant handle this kind of stress.

You just got out of the hospital.

You need rest.

Keanu exhaled deeply, as if each breath weighed more than the last.

He patted Allisons shoulder, guiding her to sit beside him on the sofa.

His gaze bore into Colton, every word dripping with disappointment.

For three years, Allison has held this family together so you could focus on your work.

In my lifetime, Ive learned that gratitude is the heart of everything.

If you cant understand that, you dont deserve to carry the Stevens name! Coltons face reddened, a mixture of shame and anger.

He bit his tongue, not daring to argue.

When the sting of Keanus reprimand finally settled, he turned to Allison, his expression softening.

If this fool doesnt shape up, Ill disown him without a second thought.

From this day forward, I recognize only one granddaughter-in-law.

The words landed like a bombshell.

Keanus favoritism towards Allison was no secret, but the extent of his affection took everyone by surprise.

Lindy, standing off to the side, had never seen Keanu speak with such finality.

She had been married into the Stevens family for decades and had never earned even half the favor Keanu showed Allison.

Now, in front of everyone, he was willing to discard his own blood for her? However, Lindy didnt dare to lose her temper in front of him.

She excused herself instead.

Keanu, Im not feeling well.

Ill head upstairs.

As she disappeared, Melany found herself standing on shaky ground.

Trying to salvage the situation, she put on her most fragile expression and turned to Colton.

Colton, its clear Keanu doesnt like me.

Maybe I should go, before I cause any more trouble.

Colton, falling for her act, squeezed her hand.

I wont let you leave.

But Keanus patience had run dry.

Both of you, get the hell out! .
