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

Chapter 582: Allison, Coltons still being held at the casino.

We… we just cant raise that much money right now.

Could you speak to Mr.

Vargas? Maybe hed listen to you… Oh? And why should that be my concern? Allisons lips curved into a cold, mocking smile.

Her voice was sharp, cutting through the air with ice.

Or do you think Im somehow responsible for your reckless choices? A frigid silence settled between them, the tension thick enough to slice through.

Lindy clenched her jaw, but she forced herself to lower her tone, keeping the resentment out of her voice as best she could.

Allison, you and Colton were married once.

We got along for three years.

I wouldnt come all this way if it werent serious.

Please, just this once help him.

But Allisons face remained impassive.

I divorced him, remember? The Stevens familys troubles are none of my business.

Only then did it dawn on Lindy that the woman standing before her was no longer the compliant, soft-spoken girl she once knew.

The realization cut deep, but she pushed it aside.

This wasnt the time to give up.

I know youre still upset with me, and I take full responsibility.

I lost my temper; I shouldnt have.

Feel the thrill at g αℓ ησ ν???? ????s․com Forcing a brittle smile, she endured the bitter taste of humiliation, locking her gaze on Allison.

She had never humbled herself like this for anyone.

Melany mentioned you came out on top at last nights gambling game.

And… and Muisvedo transferred hundreds of millions into your account.

She said it like it tasted bitter on her tongue.

Who would have thought that Allison an orphan could win such a fortune? She paused, choosing her next words carefully.

Allison, that money such a small amount to someone like you now would save Colton.

I only ask that you show a bit of mercy, for the sake of the bond you once had.

This wasnt just about her son; it was about preserving what little dignity Lindy had left.

If word of this reached their social circles, the shame would be insufferable.

The bond between us? Allison let out a soft, sardonic laugh.

Oh, Id say its long gone.

But it was never just about her relationship with Colton.

For three years, Allison had played the dutiful daughter-in-law, always bending over backward to please the Stevens family, flawlessly fulfilling every obligation.

Yet on the day of her divorce, Lindy and the others dined with Melany, celebrating without a hint of regard.

They hadnt even had the decency to tell her, just tossed her belongings out like discarded luggage.

Allison, I know our family hasnt always treated you right, but Keanu, at least, has always been kind to you.

Lindy was still struggling to keep the forced smile on her face.
