Chapter 38: At least I had a wonderful night with him, not like someone so unattractive and even disgusting that even the person he likes replaces repulsive, Allison commented with a slight sarcastic smile.
At least you could have told us about the date of your wedding "After all, it's such a dismal day, hardly ideal for venturing out," he continued, his voice dripping with disdain.
Melany was enraged, and even Colton was taken aback by Allison's behavior.
Wow, Allison! You've outdone yourself these last three years! she shouted.
Kellan, who had been absentmindedly playing with a cat, seemed contemplative at Allison's words.
He frowned, remembering the woman from that night who had treated him like nothing more than a gigolo.
Melany, fighting to contain her anger, forced a smile so tight her nails almost drew blood.
I didn't know you had so little respect for propriety.
But talking about these issues so openly is unseemly.
Those who don't know you well might think you're the type of woman who flits from one man to another.
If you ever want to replace a good man.

Melany watched Kellan's face carefully, noticing a shadow of contemplation.
Those finicky elites still disdain such behavior, so Allison, perhaps you'd better temper your freedom a bit to avoid offending them.
You mean those stubborn old men.
Allison replied with a hint of defiance before Kellan burst out laughing.
A woman's virtue is not measured by so-called chastity.
What really matters is character.
For example, people like you, who are dedicated to causing problems for others, should have their tongues cut out so they can learn their lesson, she said coldly.
Allison was surprised by Kellan's abruptness.
He hadn't anticipated such a severe reaction, although his principles seemed unwavering.
Kellan glanced at Colton with casual indifference.
What do you think, Mr.
Stevens? Kellan's use of the title Mr.
Stevens carried the same cutting sarcasm as Allison's previous comments.
Both Colton and Melany took it as a blatant threat, and were too intimidated to respond.
As they walked out, seething with silent fury, a cold breeze swept across the back of their necks.
Melany's eyes snapped open as she saw a knife stuck deeply in the door.
It was stuck in the wood, just inches from his head.
Colton felt a sudden chill on his face and touched it to replace fresh blood.
You're bleeding! Melany screamed, noticing that her hair was blowing in the breeze.
In stunned disbelief, she realized that her long hair had been shaved.
Ah! Melany's screams pierced the air.
Clang! Allison put her tools down.
Melany, weakened and trembling, recoiled in terror as Allison approached her.
We can't fix this.
This is deliberate harm! Melany protested.
Allison, expression impassive, casually removed the file from the door.
"I'm sorry, the incessant barking outside got on my nerves, so I threw it out to scare the dogs," she said, waving the knife in front of them without a trace of apology.
"If next time you use fouler language, I'll point you out.
straight to the head.
You're crazy! Colton fumed, his face red with rage.
You're crazy! Before she could finish, Allison slammed the door, barely grazing her nose.
She closed the door and wiped her hands as if she'd touched something unspeakably dirty.
Finally some peace, she murmured with a sigh.
of satisfaction.
