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

Chapter 708: The injury on his arm wasnt from the repair work, but rather from a moment of anxiety when he worried that Allison might not be able to escape the lab.

In a split-second decision, he had yanked at some wires, triggering a short circuit in the electrical box, which caused sparks and left him with burns.

Amya had reassured him that Allison was safe, but hearing the gossip made him uneasy.

He couldnt shake the feeling that her situation was still dangerous.

However, his position left him with little room to inquire further.

He had to find a way to return to the office once more.

As he glanced down at the screw in his hand just removed from the air conditioner he silently hoped that the unit would break down again soon.

Meanwhile, in the second basement level, Allison had finished sorting through the pile of documents.

With quiet confidence, she presented them to Verruckt.

Is there anything else you need me to do, Mr.

Shaw? she asked, her tone polite but pleased.

It looked like she was clearly enjoying her role.

Jareth, standing nearby, felt a headache brewing.

The labs discarded materials were limited, and it seemed questionable to allow her to handle those important documents.

As Jareth mulled over this, Verruckt, with his characteristic indifference, spoke.

Theres nothing more for you to do.

You can go back.

Allison blinked, taken aback for a moment.

Then, with a feigned air of embarrassment, she added, Can I come back to work tomorrow? I havent received my monthly salary yet.

New updates uploaded to gⱯlnσν????ℓs․cøm Verruckt let out a quiet Hmm, and didnt even raise his head.

Allison beamed at the nonchalant response.

Thank you, Mr.

Shaw.

Ill head out now.

With that, she left the office, her cheerful steps unmistakable.

She greeted nearly everyone on her way out, radiating a sense of accomplishment.

Inside the office, Jareth watched her retreating figure, frowning.

Mr.

Shaw, if she really is the assassin, arent you just giving the game away? Verruckts gaze followed Allison until she disappeared into the elevator.

Have someone follow her, he said coldly.

Todays incident had to have been a team effort.

If shes the one were after, shell reach out to her partners.

If it was her, well catch them all in one fell swoop.

He turned back to Jareth.

Also, with the entire place locked down, keep searching for the assassin.

The target is injured and cant slip away easily.

Jareth nodded in agreement.

Understood.

Ill expedite the internal investigation.

Allison swiftly slipped into her own attire, her every movement measured and deliberate.

She knew that the faster she distanced herself from the lab, the closer she would be to safety.

Yet, fate seemed to toy with her; barely a few hundred meters down the desolate street, a shadow of suspicion loomed behind her.
