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

Chapter 482: Carole froze, her expression one of sheer disbelief.

It was clear that Kellan was explaining all of this to Allison.

As he lifted his eyes, his lips slightly pursed, and his dark eyes, veiled with an enigmatic shadow, seemed to draw one in like a bottomless chasm.

The silence that had previously filled the room was suddenly shattered.

Allison hadnt expected this either.

Surprise flickered in her eyes.

She had long assumed that Kellan wasnt one to partner easily, much less bend to anothers plans.

Even more puzzling, Greenfield Groups focus on fast-moving consumer goods hardly seemed to align with Charisma Companys trajectoryunless it had something to do with Carole? As Allison recalled the vast debt of gratitude owed by the Lloyd family to the Perry family, a theory quickly took root in her mind.

She responded with a calm, measured tone, You two go ahead and discuss this.

Im waiting on someone here, so Ill steer clear.

Her offhand tone, so relaxed and nonchalant, grated on Kellans nerves.

It seemed that in trying to explain himself, he had only added unnecessary details.

She hadnt reacted as Ferdinand had anticipated; she hadnt been prodded into revealing anything hidden or vulnerable.

In other words, she simply did not care.

As the sunlight shifted across the room, it fell across Kellans impeccably tailored trousers, casting his features in stark shadow, making him appear both mysterious and cold.

ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇꜱ ɪɴ ɢᴀʟɴᴏᴠᴇʟꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ Carole, simmering with anger, hadnt noticed this shift.

She was barely holding her temper in check.

With a wry smile, she quipped, Even if Kellan and I are here to talk business, theres no harm in you listening in.

Youll be part of our team soon enough.

Caroles offer sounded magnanimous, though the way she emphasized our was anything but subtle.

She knew the collaboration proposal was strictly confidentialdefinitely not for public ears.

This was all about unsettling Allison, a move Kellan, with his calculating nature, would certainly reject.

And just to add salt to the wound, Carole cooed, Isnt that right, Kellan? Allison found herself amused.

Clearly, Carole had only scratched the surface, knowing her merely as an employee, unaware of her substantial stake in the company.

Looking up with casual ease, Allison replied, In that case, Mr.

Lloyd, why not send me the proposal so I can gain a little insight? Her tone was crisp and forthright, her words bold and unfiltered.

Oh, Ms.

Clarke, you must be joking.

Confidential files cant just be handed out willy-nilly, Carole interrupted, her surprise tinged with a faint sneer, as if Allison had suggested something completely outrageous.

Kellan, dont take Ms.

Clarkes enthusiasm too seriously.

She meant no harm… Before Carole could finish, a single chime cut through her words.

The documents in your email.

Kellans deep voice was as calm as ever.

Caroles expression faltered.
