Chapter 68: You know, I immersed myself in the world of perfumery just for you.
I've always longed to be of help.
Melany bit her lip, tears cascading down her cheeks as she looked at him.
She could have escaped punishment, but then the president of the Everett Group suddenly intervened, nullifying her eligibility and the contest results.
.
As a result, Colton lost the opportunity to collaborate and faced humiliation in the media.
When they left the contest, Colton remained quiet and thoughtful, even treating her coldly.
Determined, Melany took it upon herself to apologize.
All these years, I have searched and recreated Scarlet Snake perfumes, enduring countless hardships.
If I had known sooner that Allison, the one who had been by your side for three years, was Scarlet Serpent, I would have been spared this confusion.
Colton's stern expression began to melt, his heart softening as he saw the beautiful woman with tears in her eyes.
eyes.
Okay, enough of the tears, he said, finally forgiving her as he gently wiped her face.
Yet beneath his forgiving exterior, frustration bubbled.
Something didn't fit.
Allison even fooled me.
How could he hold her accountable? He kept his secret well for three long years.
He had never considered how formidable Allison was.
What gnawed at him most was how she had distanced herself.
Before, I cooked for him and washed his clothes; Now he treated him like a simple stranger.
What bothered him the most was that even after the divorce, his thoughts were still tangled with Allison.
No matter how renowned she is, your kindness far surpasses his own.
Colton put his arms around Melany, trying to comfort her, even though he felt like If he were soothing his own wounds.
Just then, he looked up and saw Allison pacing.
She wore a silver dress, topped with an elegant black coat for the cold night.
Mysterious and cold, she gave off a heroic air, completely ignoring them.
Colton's expression went from surprise to icy disdain.
Stop! At his command, Allison and Rebecca stopped, their words sharp as daggers.
What, you want us to stop and admire your public display of affection.
You need to drag me into this circus.
Allison's tone dripped with mockery, showing no consideration.
She and Rebecca clearly wanted to avoid the interruption of their rare and enjoyable evening.
Seeing Colton provoking them again, Rebecca turned her head, glaring at him.
Allison is right.
You can't keep your snuggles and kisses at home.
Even animals have more decency than you.
Colton's anger flared at those cutting words.
Miss Green, you are part of the Green family.
He shouldn't take the side of outsiders.
Our Stevens family may not have as much power as yours, but we have worked together on some projects.
Today not only had I lost the opportunity to cooperate, but the media had also caught on to my humiliation.
Just the hush money was a heavy burden.
Her gaze hardened at the thought.
I don't know how Allison tricked you, but you should at least support me, considering we're partners.
Rebecca laughed, disbelief painting her features.
Thank you for reminding me of our collaboration.
If you hadn't mentioned it, I might have forgotten.
After all, those little projects rarely make it to my desk.
With a sly smile, Rebecca picked up the phone.
I'll let my father know right now.
Our Green Group will not partner with a bankrupt company like yours; It's too risky.
You! Colton had intended to remind her of their partnership to gain some respect, but he never anticipated that he would lose another contract, which would further fuel his frustration.
Melany, beside him, looked incredulous.
Miss Green, this is simply a personal vendetta.
But bringing business into this is not a little petty.
Small Compared to money, I value integrity much more.
Our family is not short of money, Rebecca replied, her tone dripping with arrogance.
But we have encountered unpleasant characters! Allison nodded lazily.
Of course this restaurant needs to raise its standards.
Otherwise, anyone can come in.
Colton was speechless.
His fury only increased.
