Secrets Of The Neglected Wife

Chapter 659:

Feigning confusion, Allison tilted her head. “Sure, I can do that, but who exactly gave you the right to search me?”

The words hung in the air, freezing Rowan’s expression. He stared at her, as if weighing his next move.

“Ha, you wouldn’t want me to send you to the lab next door, would you?” Rowan said, a cruel edge to his voice.

The lab next door had a reputation — one that sent shivers down anyone’s spine.

“No… I don’t want that,” Allison replied, blinking as if suddenly struck with fear. She reluctantly spread her hands, adding, “See? Nothing. If you want to check further, be my guest.”

Rowan wasn’t the type to leave a stone unturned. But after a thorough search yielded nothing, doubt began to creep in. Had he been imagining things? Had she hidden nothing after all?

He paused for a moment, glancing up at Allison, only to find her watching him with an unwavering gaze.

“What are you staring at?” Rowan sneered, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “Just because you haven’t hidden anything doesn’t mean you’re off the hook. People like you? Always up to no good!”

Allison shook her head, nonchalantly picking up her cleaning tools.

“Can I get back to work? The pay here is good, and I don’t want to lose it.”

Rowan took a moment to size her up, his gaze lingering on her as he took slow steps closer, a malicious glint flickering in his eyes.

“A pretty thing like you… running low on cash?”

Though she was dust-covered and disheveled, Rowan could still tell she was quite attractive.

Allison sensed his intentions immediately. She played her part, looking at him with a feigned vulnerability.

“Do you really think anyone would give me money just because I’m pretty?”

Rowan leaned in, lowering his voice, his tone turning suggestive. “Oh, there are definitely people who would.”

He took another step toward her, slowly backing her into the storage room.

“Your name’s Alice, right? If you break up with your boyfriend and stick with me, I could offer you more than just money.” He licked his dry lips, his grin widening.noveldrama

He had already played his games with most of the female cleaners. The woman named Alice would be no different, he thought.

Allison, playing along, retreated further into the room, pretending to hesitate. “But… if my boyfriend finds out, he’ll kill me.”

She looked as if she might break into tears, which only fueled Rowan’s confidence.

“But if you don’t give me what I want, I’ll be the one to kill you,” Rowan growled, his hand reaching out.

Just as he moved to grab her, Allison dodged him effortlessly. Was it his imagination, or did this seemingly weak woman just avoid him with surprising agility?
