Secrets Of The Neglected Wife

Chapter 830:

Allison blinked, startled by the unexpected counsel. “Thank you, Mrs. Blake. I’ll keep that in mind.”

“You’re a smart girl,” Mollie replied, her expression warm yet knowing. She could tell Allison harbored secrets, and that she wasn’t a simple woman; her use of the roofie had been a clear sign. Yet, she chose not to press further.

Instead, her thoughts drifted to Verruckt. What would it be like if someone ever tamed that wild, unpredictable force? It would be so interesting.
