Secrets Of The Neglected Wife

Chapter 1032:

Nova, ever the diplomat, stepped in with a touch of feigned concern.

“Darling, don’t say that. Though Ms. Clarke and Kellan had no connection at that time, I still believe she was just concerned about Kinslee’s well-being,” she said, veiling her words with a seemingly innocent concern.

But the underlying implication was clear — Allison had used her proximity to the nursing home as a stepping stone, a way to worm her way into Kellan’s world.

This suggestion rang the alarm in Brook’s heart. It painted Allison as someone scrambling to climb the social ladder, coveting the wealth and power of the Lloyd family.

The Lloyd family’s fortune was his lifeblood, and anyone who dared to threaten it would meet his wrath.

“Ms. Clarke, is this true?” Brook’s voice cut through the air, low and menacing, as though a storm were brewing just beneath his calm.

Allison knew this was no innocent question. Nova’s sudden attack wasn’t random; there was an agenda behind it, one she could smell from a mile away.

Nova smiled, a mask of innocence, and added, “Well, Brook, don’t be so nervous. It’s nothing serious. After all, Kinslee is fine. Ms. Clarke probably just wandered in by accident, right?”

She was certain that Allison would scramble to defend herself. After all, Brook’s face had turned ashen, his anger simmering beneath the surface.

If Allison lied, Nova, having enough evidence, would expose her lies right there and then. Kellan would surely lose his faith in her and dump her without hesitation.

But Allison had no intention of playing by the usual rules.

“It wasn’t an accident at all. I went to the nursing home on purpose,” Allison said, her voice steady and unwavering.

She had nothing to hide. While she had concealed her identity that night, Kellan had eventually learned the truth later.

“I was working with MDH Pharmaceutical Research Institute, and when I learned about Kinslee’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, I wanted to check on her condition. Since I wasn’t familiar with Kellan then, I thought it best to go straight to the nursing home.”

She paused before adding, “Before I could reach the facility, I found Kinslee wandering outside and helped her back.”noveldrama

Allison didn’t mention her mother; she kept the story brief and to the point. Everything she said was the truth, and there was no need to spin any falsehoods.

Kellan, standing by her side, nodded in support. “I can vouch for it. Allison was the one who brought my grandmother back.” His gaze shifted to Nova, a cold glint in his eyes.

“But how did you know about the nursing home incident?” Kellan asked, his tone challenging.

Nova, momentarily caught off guard, blinked but quickly regained her composure.

“I just heard about it,” she said innocently, her tone masking the underlying tension.
