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

Chapter 562: Allison smirked.

I expected more from you, Sherman.

Your boss was right there, playing the game, and yet you had your eyes shut.

Are you really that scared? Shermans gaze darted nervously to Kellan, whose expression remained unreadable.

He faltered, Mr.

Lloyd… I didnt mean any disrespect.

Its just… gambling scenes arent exactly familiar to me.

He paused, a grin breaking through as if remembering something amusing.

Besides, I knew Ms.

Clarke was formidable, so I felt more at ease.

Seeing her catch Amor cheating was priceless.

Kellan, standing slightly apart, responded with detached amusement, You must have plenty of time on your hands with all that chit-chat.

Sherman went silent.

He cleared his throat.

Mr.

Lloyd, I think its best if I take the cash and head back now.

He didnt wait for a response, knowing Kellans subtle tension was a sign to retreat.

Sherman wasnt clueless; he could read the barely perceptible tension simmering between Kellan and Allison.

Sensing that it was best not to intrude, he turned to the bodyguards trailing him.

You guys, follow me and head out first.

The road grew still as their footsteps faded, leaving only Kellan and Allison in the moonlit silence.

Allison broke the quiet, her voice measured and calm.

By the way, I owe you thanks, Mr.

Lloyd, for your support today.

You not only brought the cash but even agreed to sign that risky contract.

It wasnt just any gesture; it was an act of profound trust.

Even those bound by marriage might falter when faced with such high stakes.

Yet Kellan had stood by her without hesitation.

Ł@Ŧé$† Ç♄äþŧεяş íπ ĠalπoνεlŞ.cø₥ It wasnt much, Ms.

Clarke.

No need for thanks, Kellan said, his tone casual but layered.

As he spoke, thoughts of his earlier encounter with Kylo at the casino resurfaced.

His eyes held a contemplative gleam.

However, Mr.

Vargas past isnt easily mapped out.

What we know is that his wealth spans continents, and he commands a formidable group of trained assassins.

There was more he didnt say aloud.

Kylos gaze earlier had held something else, an elusive expression when it lingered on Allison.

It resembled the calculated patience of a predator biding its time before springing a trap.

Kellan recognized that feeling all too well because he was the same.

I did my homework, Allison said, her eyes narrowing slightly.

He runs a casino in Fleeingland.

Thats why Im determined to get close to Kylo.

Through him, I intend to uncover the truth about the human experiments conducted on the island.

Kellans expression darkened further.

He responded with a simple, Alright, but the depth behind it spoke volumes.

A gentle breeze swept through, momentarily stirring the stillness that surrounded them, as if they were the last two people on earth.

Despite her earlier bravado, victory left Allison with an unexpected weight on her chest.

Knowing her mother was alive had brought relief, but the reasons behind her abandonment gnawed at her.

This mystery had fueled Allisons obsession for years.

A sudden click split the silence as Kellan flicked open his lighter, casting a brief, warm glow.
