Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 235: Keanu steadied himself, glaring at Colton with disappointment etched deeply in his features.

If youre going to make such serious accusations against Allison, youd better have concrete evidence to back it up in front of everyone.

Otherwise, even if youre my grandson, you wont escape the consequences of framing her.

Coltons jaw tightened, but he didnt flinch.

Im telling the truth.

Ill show you Allisons true colors! He pulled out his phone and cast a video onto the screen.

The footage displayed a scene captured just last week.

Deandre stepped out of his car, glancing around cautiously.

Moments later, Allison appeared and approached him from behind.

The two exchanged a brief, almost intimate embrace.

The camera zoomed in, capturing snippets of their conversation.

The headquarters has been auditing the accounts recently.

Is something going on? What are you so worried about? Deandres voice responded, low and comforting.

Witharound, do you really think Id let anything happen to you? After all these years, handling something like this is childs play.

Despite the clear visuals, the auwas slightly muffled, as if it had been tampered with.

As the video ended, whispers spread through the room, and all eyes turned to Allison.

But Allison simply leaned back in her chair, resting her head on her hand, a faint, almost amused smile playing on her lips.

She wasnt even fazed.

Her calmness was almost unsettling.

Coltons agitation grew as he watched her reaction.

He remembered how furious hed been when Melany had first shown him this footage.

Yet now... Why wasnt Allison panicking? Why wasnt she reacting? Mr.

Stevens, Allison drawled, her voice laced with mockery.

It seems your intelligence isnt quite as sharp as I thought.

She gestured casually at the screen.

Take a closer look at the video.

Notice how the edges of the figures are blurred? And at the twenty-five-second marksee how the supporting wall in the background distorts for a moment? This video has clearly been edited.

Allison wasnt sure whether she felt more amused or disappointed.

She couldnt believe this was the man shed once cared for.

Mr.

Stevens, when you presented this video, did it even occur to you to verify its authenticity first? Colton scoffed, his tone dripping with derision.

Other than making excuses, what else are you good at? This video is crystal clear, and youre just grasping at straws! Face ityoure nothing but a habitual liar.

He fully trusted the evidence Melany had given him.

He turned to Keanu.

Grandpa, surely you believenow? Believe what? Keanu snapped, his voice sharp and unwavering.

Grandfather! Colton stared at him, incredulous.

Youve lost your mind.

And Allisonshes even interfered with the companys audit! Allisons expression hardened at his brazen accusation, her gaze steady as she met Coltons eyes.

Whether Keanu has been deceived or not is not for you to decide, she retorted, her voice laced with ice.

Only now did she fully understand the depths of Coltons selfishness.

Three years of marriage, and I was stationed at the branch office for just three months.

If I truly intended to embezzle ten million dollars, do you honestly think Deandre would risk his neck helping me? Besides, he had no authority over the audits.

Do you really believe I have the power to manipulate the entire accounting system of the Stevens Group? Her voice grew firmer with each word, cutting through the room like a sharp blade.

Coltons silence only intensified her disdain.

Now she understood why his business had never taken off.

He had no business acumen.

He was too gullible, too easy to fool.

Or maybe, she added with a mocking smile, youre suggesting Ive planted a mole in the auditing department? Colton furrowed his brows, clearly confused.

Who did you Allison paused, caught off guard.

Couldnt he even comprehend what she meant? She was momentarily speechless, shocked by his foolishness.

Just then, Melany interjected, her voice smooth and insidious.

Allison, even if the video was edited, it still shows your connection to the CEO.

Perhaps your marriage to the Stevens family was just a front.

There were rumors that you and Deandre knew each other long before this.

Of course, it was all a lie that Melany had spun herself.

Allison scoffed.

Ive already told you how ridiculous this is, but you refused to listen.

That video was filmed last week.

I was tutoring at the tand later had dinner with a friend.

Theres surveillance footage to prove it.

Or do you think Ive somehow developed the ability to be in two places at once, Mr.

Stevens? This time, Colton wisely did you refrained from asking, When did you gain that ability Instead, he focused on the video, a flicker of suspicion darkening his eyes, though his face remained a mask of indifference. Is that so? he asked slowly, his voice low and cold.

Then why dont you show us your evidence? Allison opened her mouth, ready to respondbut then faltered. If she mentioned tutoring for the Lloyd family, it would drag Kellan into this mess.

Her hesitation only strengthened Coltons doubts.

His gaze turned disdainful, a sneer forming on his lips.

You have no proof, do you? Youre just making this up.

Before Allison could respond, a deep, authoritative voice ve voice out through the tense silence. Who said she doesnt have proof?.
