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

Chapter 670: Jareths eyes swept over Kellan, recalling the scene at the security checkpoint when this man had caused a fuss.

In his eyes, Kellan was little more than a nuisance, someone easily dismissed.

But he had a suspicion that Verruckt had taken an interest in Alice, which meant Kellan might become an obstacle.

So, he needed to find a way to separate them.

As soon as Allison thought she could leave, Jareth suddenly spoke to the first-floor supervisor.

Mr.

Shaw wasnt pleased with the cleaning on the first floor today.

I want a thorough recheck.

The supervisor, who had been lingering nearby, stiffened at the mention of Verruckt.

His demeanor instantly shifted from lax to authoritative.

Catching sight of Kellan, who had yet to leave, he seized the opportunity.

You there! Youre not going anywhere.

Come with me for a recheck! he barked.

Most of the cleaning crew had already clocked out, leaving Kellan as the only available person to handle the task.

Kellan had stayed behind to wait for Allison, not expecting to get caught up in this situation.

Annoyed but unable to refuse, Kellan reluctantly released Allisons hand.

Dont worry, love.

Ill finish up quickly, he assured her.

Find magical tales on gαℓησν????????s․c???????? Alright, Allison agreed, perfectly aware of the game Jareth was playing, yet she pretended not to notice his ulterior motives.

She just couldnt figure out why he seemed so intent on isolating her.

As she stepped out into the night, a sleek black car rolled up smoothly to the curb.

The back door opened, revealing Jareth seated inside, his expression unreadable.

Alice, may I have a word with you? I can give you a lift home.

Allison hesitated, weighing her options.

A woman alone in a foreign land with no reliable contacts or stable accommodations wouldnt refuse his offer.

If she did, it would raise unnecessary suspicions.

Then Ill take you up on that, she replied, slipping into the passenger seat with a well-practiced innocent smile.

Im curious, what is it you want to discuss, Mr.

Williamson? Jareth sighed heavily, shaking his head.

Alice, that guy youre with, hes not good enough for you.

Honestly, I could keep him tied up at the institute every night if I wanted.

You deserve better.

Jareths tone was oily, layered with hidden intent.

Mr.

Shaw has taken quite the interest in you, Alice.

If you play your cards right, you could get into his good graces.

And who knows? You could put in a good word for me too.

Ill make sure youre well taken care of in return.

Allison maintained her calm, though the implications were so clear that pretending ignorance would have been pointless.

Still, she wore a look of troubled innocence.
