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

Chapter 39: How could Allison be so ruthless? She did this on purpose! My hair is ruined… Melanys eyes brimmed with tears as she clutched the shorn strands, feeling an overwhelming sense of loss.

She had meticulously cared for her long, black hair to maintain her image as the epitome of gentleness and innocence, only to have it destroyed by Allison.

Shes trying to kill me.

Im sure of it, Melany wept, her sobs invoking a flood of sympathy.

Her tears were not just for show.

She genuinely felt threatened, convinced that Allison might resort to murder.

Shes not that skilled.

Just calm down, Colton soothed, rubbing her back while his own heart raced with fear.

The chilling breeze and the menacing intent seemed almost palpable, as if the knife had been aimed straight at his brain, ready to end his life.

The eerie sensation left him drenched in cold sweat.

Melany was not consoled by Coltons casual reassurances.

She continued to sob, her voice trembling.

But she truly attacked us without a shred of mercy.

Its too much.

I might be fine, but she shouldnt have harmed you.

Werent you once married? Doesnt she understand the effort you put in? Publicly humiliating you and jeopardizing our partnerships.

She doesnt appreciate all you do for the company, and now even Mr.

Lloyd might misinterpret our situation.

What are we going to do? Colton, already boiling from the days events, found his thoughts tangled in chaos.

Enough, he said, his patience wearing thin.

What does Kellan really matter? Even without his endorsement, the Stevens Group will endure.

Ive heard the fourth International Perfumery Competition is coming up next month, hosted by the Everett Group.

Ill find the right moment to network… Suddenly, an idea struck Colton, shifting his mood.

Im sorry, Melany.

I was out of line today because of my mood, he said softly, wiping the tears from her eyes.

Youve been through so much.

I promise Ill make it up to you.

Your favorite tales are on gαℓησν????????s․çоnn Melany nodded, leaning into his embrace.

Its okay, Colton.

I dont mind, but I just feel sorry for you.

Colton placed a tender kiss on her forehead.

Melany, I remember you were the champion of the perfumery competition a few years ago.

You remember that? Melany asked, surprised.

Of course, I remember everything about you, Colton said with a smile.

Before Melany could fully appreciate his words, Colton added, So, could you help me this time? If you make it to the finals in this perfumery competition, we could secure sponsorship from the Everett Group and maybe even meet their CEO.

Melany blinked as she absorbed his request.

But Coltons gentle plea was irresistible, and she nodded weakly.

Ill try my best.

She remembered her first anonymous international competition.

Despite her best efforts, she hadnt advanced to the finals.

Later, by chance, she discovered the champions basic perfume recipe and spent nearly two years refining it to produce a product that was approximately 80% similar.

The champion, known as Scarlet Snake, was an elderly individual, nearly sixty, with their gender unknown.

Scarlet Snake had vanished in recent years and hadnt competed again.

Melany used Scarlet Snakes formula to produce a new blend and easily won the title.

Scarlet Snake had been missing for years, and Melany thought that using the formula again would go unnoticed.

I knew you were my savior.

With your skills, youre sure to outshine everyone! Colton beamed, pulling her closer.

Even without Kellan, Colton felt confident that he could secure a collaboration with the Everett Group.
