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

Chapter 841: The thing is, my strength isnt just natural.

It was amplified on the island by researchers dosing me with drugs.

Bill got wind of it and had his people whip up a similar concoction.

There was a menacing edge to Verruckts voice.

He wanted me powerful, yet under his thumb.

Allison inhaled sharply.

So youre essentially chained to his bidding.

Pretty much, Verruckt answered, his tone shadowed with darkness.

Thats also why Bill is in bed with Immortality Pharmaceuticals.

He needs a workaround someone to develop new drugs without letting me know.

Ive been butting heads with Immortality Pharmaceuticals for years, while the mayor makes a killing off both sides.

At that moment, Allisons face twisted in genuine disgust.

What a despicable, shameless man.

Despite this, Verruckt kept his cool.

Thats precisely why I ask you to stay by my side to keep you away from danger.

He stood up and leaned in, their gazes locking.

Sure, but can we skip the injections? They sting.

Of course, Verruckt agreed, his generosity tinged with an air of superiority.

He was adept at picking up on subtle cues and never imagined Alice might be playing him.

He was less interested in digging into her past and more focused on the present.

Alice, how did you meet your boyfriend? Allison had been preparing to come up with a strategy, but she hadnt expected him to ask about Kellan.

Melanys words from earlier echoed in her mind, so she repeated them verbatim.

I was always the target of bullies at school, and he was the one who stood up for me.

Thats how our friendship began.

Allison wove her tale, leaning into her made-up past as a stowaway.

We were both pretty lousy students, and our families had their share of problems.

Later, our families couldnt support us anymore, so we dropped out of school.

Then he brought me here hoping we could make some money.

Verruckt studied her closely, his eyes searching for any hint of a lie.

Yet, Allison was a picture of composure, her expressions meticulously controlled.

It sounds like youre just grateful to him.

Are you sure you love him? Verruckt remarked.
