Secrets Of The Neglected Wife

Chapter 780:

“Verruckt, are you really going to side with her over something like this?” Fiona’s anger only grew. “She’s just a temporary companion! You can get as many of those as you want if you pay for them!”

But her words only made Verruckt’s face harden with coldness.

Without a second thought, he took Allison’s hand and intertwined his fingers with hers.

“Miss Smith, you’re mistaken,” he said, his voice steady. “She’s not just some temporary companion to me.” Under the intense gaze of everyone, he spoke in a low, gravelly voice. “She’s my lifelong partner.”

The room went completely still.

Everyone knew how long Fiona had been chasing after Verruckt, only to be met with rejection. Over the years, many had wondered if anyone could find a way to force him into a relationship.

But every woman who had tried to get close to him had failed and been pushed aside.

Allison’s brow furrowed. She had hoped Verruckt would help her out of this situation, but she didn’t expect him to make such a public declaration, attracting all this hostility toward her.

She tried to pull her hand away, but Verruckt held it firmly, making it clear how close they were.

Fiona stood there, stunned.

“I can’t accept this,” she said, her voice trembling, her eyes filled with tears. “You’re lying to me!”

She couldn’t believe it, but her gaze kept drifting to their hands, still tightly intertwined.

He had never been this close to any woman before!

“Verruckt, I know you’re doing this deliberately just to push me away,” Fiona said, growing more certain as she spoke.

She had been after him for years, so the best way for him to reject her was clearly to hire a companion to keep her at bay, and that was indeed what he would do.

“I admit you’ve hurt me, but I won’t back down. After all, she can’t compare to me in any way. You couldn’t possibly be interested in someone like her…”

But before she could finish, she went completely silent. Verruckt tightened his grip on Allison’s hand and lowered his head, kissing her lips.

That kiss was the best proof.

Everyone watched in stunned silence as the usually cold and ruthless Verruckt kissed Allison without a second thought.

The silence was almost tangible, heavy enough to press against the chest. Even Allison’s eyes narrowed in shock, as though Verruckt had crossed an unspoken line. She hadn’t expected this reckless display.
