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

Chapter 617: It was brutal and spine-chilling.

From afar, everyone watched as Santino and his men were forced out of Ontdale.

The brutal end to his pleas left Melany trembling, her face pale as she turned and met Darrels cold gaze.

I wasnt aware you and my nephew were so… connected.

Melany opened her mouth to respond, but Darrel raised a hand, silencing her.

As Mrs.

Stevens mentioned, Mr.

Stevens is currently detained in Muisvedo, he continued.

Yet, here you both are, lingering around Sunset Hill with time to spare! His gaze was filled with meaning, and his tone held a steely warning.

Maybe you should focus on collecting the funds needed.

Muisvedo doesnt exactly offer credit.

Lindys face twisted, all traces of resistance gone.

It was clear Darrel meant one thing they had overstayed their welcome! Mr.

Brennan, were here to ask for help.

Yes, its embarrassing, but its also to save a life, Lindy said, her voice shaking with barely contained anger.

Muisvedo could spare Coltons life, but there was going to be a price.

And the longer this dragged on, the messier it was bound to get.

She no longer cared about reputation or pride.

Straightening herself, she looked Darrel in the eye and decided to bring up what Santino had done.

Besides, your nephew promised hed cover it for us! A ripple of laughter spread through the crowd.

Lаtєѕt chɑptєrs іn g????lnοvєls.????ο???? Sure, Mrs.

Stevens.

As if you didnt set Santino up for that! one onlooker jeered.

Exactly.

And even if Santino said hed pay, whats that got to do with Mr.

Brennan? another chimed in.

I swear, some people have no shame! someone muttered.

The crowd couldnt resist taunting her.

The mocking jabs were unrelenting.

Melany, who couldnt stand being caught in the middle of such a scene, flushed with embarrassment and turned to her mother.

Lindy, maybe we should just go… But Lindy had no intention of leaving.

Why should I leave? She was thinking of Coltons life hanging in the balance and the debts piling up.

She wasnt about to back down now! Its truly disgraceful when people dont keep their promises.

Her eyes shifted from Darrel to Allison.

The rumors about Allisons hundreds of millions had shocked Lindy, and now, having a moment to reconsider, she saw a new opportunity.

Allison, since youre so wealthy, tens of millions shouldnt matter much to you.

And from what I hear, you and Mr.

Brennan have a bit of history.

Why not help cover the debt? Her eyes glinted with unmistakable greed, as if weighing what could have been if only shed insisted Colton not divorce Allison.

But Allison wasnt about to indulge her.

Lindy, need I remind you? I dont owe anyones debts.

The underground casino already transferred the funds to me.

And if youre looking for someone to go after, try Mr.

Vargas.

Allison spoke with a mocking tone.
