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

Chapter 621: His declaration left the onlookers in shock.

Anyone who knows Mr.

Brennan understands hes not just wealthy, but very successful, even if Sunset Hill doesnt belong to him.

This is huge! Its one thing to respect Ms.

Clarke, but giving her his entire fortune? Thats unheard of! This is crazy.

Id be lying if I said I wasnt a little jealous… People began whispering back and forth.

But Allison remained impassive.

To her, hundreds of millions hardly mattered.

If she ever decided to retrieve her assets scattered across the globe, her net worth would dwarf it all.

I helped you on a whim, she said, fully aware of Darrels stubbornness.

Once he set his mind to something, there was no changing it.

She looked off toward the distant hills.

If you really feel the need to repay me, why not donate the money to environmental groups or charitable foundations? Itll do more good that way.

Thank you, Ms.

Clarke, Darrel replied.

He gave a resolute nod and turned to the crowd.

In the coming days, he started, Ill make a full, public disclosure of where every penny will go.

I welcome everyone to hold me accountable! Mⱺɍɇ Ʉρȡąţɇş ĩŋ ɢąłņøνɇłş.çøɱ Having no children of his own and no desire to marry, Darrel had already repaid his debt of gratitude by raising Santino.

Now, he was ready to atone for the damage done with his wealth.

As his speech concluded, the crowd broke into applause, admiring both of them.

But at a distance, Lenny stood trembling with fear.

Ms.

Clarke, Im so sorry.

I didnt recognize your status and… made a huge mistake.

His mind buzzed with regret.

How could he have been so blind? When Santino asked him to handle someone, he chose Allison, thinking she was just a nobody.

Now he knew hed been wrongterribly, terribly wrong.

I swear! Ill change my ways from now on! Lennys voice was thick with desperation, his face scrunched into a pitiful plea.

He understood exactly how critical it was to stay on Allisons good side.

In this town, loyalty wasnt a choice it was survival.

Hed seen how Darrel handled Santino just now, breaking the mans legs without a second thought and vowing never to let him set foot in Ontdale again.

If even Darrels nephew, his blood relative, faced such a fate, how much worse would it be for him? Cold sweat beaded along Lennys forehead as dread crept down his spine.

Santino… he forced us.

And he wasnt alone.

Those who had once followed Santinos lead now found themselves squirming under the weight of their own misdeeds, scrambling to plead their innocence before Allison.

Please, Ms.

Clarke! We didnt have a choice he made us do it! Please spare us.

This job is hard to come by, and we have families to feed.
