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

Chapter 491: What on earth was so important that it required a café meeting? Was it about romance? Love, perhaps? Either way, the thought twisted like a knife in his chest, tightening as though his heart were caught in an iron vice.

Seeing the tension building, Gordons expression sharpened, and his eyes glinted with a smirk.

Well, Mr.

Lloyd, you did meet Miss Perry at a café, didnt you? So it seems theres no reason for anyone to be shocked that Allison and I might do the same.

Gordon tilted his head, his gaze flicking to Carole before he sighed mockingly.

Too bad she doesnt hold a candle to Allison.

Shes coarse, to put it politely.

Surprising, isnt it, Mr.

Lloyd? That this is your taste? From the start, Gordon had no intention of playing nice.

The moment he saw Carole purposefully blocking his path, hed marked her as trouble.

And her incessant jabs at Allison only made his distaste for her deepen.

He chuckled arrogantly and added, Truly, some people are rotten beneath the skin.

Carole, who had been trying to fade into the background, could no longer keep quiet.

Yes, Gordon was the mayors son, but she couldnt let him insult her in front of Kellan.

Mr.

Herbert, I wont claim to match Ms.

Clarkes beauty, and youre welcome to critique me all you like.

But Kellan? Thats where I draw the line.

After all, this was her chance to win his favor, regardless of what it might cost her to go against the Herbert family.

Youre going too far! But Kellan remained as impassive as ever, while Gordon only sneered.

And what gives you the right to address me like that? Gordons gaze swept over Carole, looking at her as if she were beneath notice, his smile venomous.

Tsk! Hideous, truly hideous.

You…! Caroles face turned beet red with fury.

She prided herself on her beauty; no one had dared to insult her so brazenly before.

Yet, she had to swallow her anger, as Gordons status made him untouchable.

Most frustrating of all, Kellan didnt move to defend her.

Ms.

Clarke, arent you going to intervene? Caroles voice turned pleading, her gaze fixed on Allison with a hurt expression.

You seem close with Mr.

Herbert.

Surely, hed listen if you asked him to stop… She chose her words carefully, aiming to redirect the conflict back onto Allison.

And, of course, they were meant for Kellan to hear.

She wanted Kellan to hear that there was clearly something suspicious between Allison and Gordon! But Allison simply gave a cool smile.

Funny you should mention connections, Miss Perry.

From what I understand, you and Mr.

Lloyd are much closer.

Didnt you say his grandmother owes quite a debt to your family? .
