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

Chapter 472: Yet, others seemed intrigued by the vision.

But a signature product like that could be a game-changer.

Voices overlapped, some urging caution, others caught up in the ambition of it all.

Ultimately, all eyes shifted to Kellan, waiting for his decision.

He let the silence linger, his demeanor as distant and inscrutable as ever.

His presence was too refined, too aloof, leaving many to feel as though they couldnt quite reach him.

Finally, in a quiet but resolute voice, he said, Proceed.

Kellans voice carried a casual indifference.

Since its inception, our company has never taken the conservative route.

Weve always been trailblazers.

It was clear his statement wasnt just directed at the roomit was a show of support for Allison.

After all, Charisma Company had never shied away from bold moves, always leading the way with innovation.

To Kellan, Allisons talent was a given, not up for debate.

He knew any company would fight for the chance to have her.

She wasnt just a brilliant strategist; she was the Scarlet Snakea rising star in the perfumery world.

Kellan took in the surprised looks around the table and gave his orders without missing a beat.

Sherman, youll handle the follow-up.

Yes, boss! Sherman replied, trying to mask his nerves.

It finally clicked why Kellan was hereit was all because of Allison.

Yet, there was something unusual in the air.

Even an outsider like Sherman could sense a chill between them.

Lately, Kellan and Allison seemed more distant, as if something unspoken hung between them.

Could Carole be the reason? Sherman couldnt help but wonder.

Allison stood and turned to Kellan.

My proposal earlier was risky, she admitted.

Without your support, it wouldve been hard to convince the board.

Kellan lowered his gaze, fingers tightening on the edge of the table.

His voice remained steady, almost mechanical.

Its not because of me.

Youre strong enough.

But beneath his composed exterior, Kellan was anything but calm.

His thoughts swirled, a tangled mess of longing and restraint.

If someone could peek inside his mind, theyd see a man fighting an urge that felt almost primal.

An urge to pull her close, to breathe her in, to kiss her.

The distance between them hadnt dulled his feelings.

If anything, it only made him more vulnerable to her presencelike a moth drawn dangerously close to a flame.

Thank you for trusting me, Allison replied.

She had no inkling of the turmoil churning inside him.

To her, his words were a rare gesture of faith, something she hadnt often found in othersespecially not within the Stevens family, where Coltons support had been absent, replaced with biting remarks and relentless pressure.

Years of doubt had taken their toll, leading her to question her worth from time to time.

But Kellans words always found a way to reach her.

I believe in you.

Youre worth it.
