GoodReadChapter 87:Colton could not utter a single word, his mouth open as if it were the only expression of his defeat.
He stood there, a picture of humiliation, fully aware that no amount of physical pain could compare to the
ridicule he would face if this mess ever becpublic.
People would tear him apart, mocking the man who had been beaten to a pulp by a woman.
With Kellan's great influence, all business allies who sympathized with the Lloyd Group would surely distance
themselves from the Stevens Group.
The damage was already clear.
Is Mr.
Stevens okay with this little fix, Allison asked, her voice cold but informal.
After all, you only took a few hits and in exchange you get the coveted opportunity to work with the Everett
Group, the sreason you dragged yourself here today, isn't it.
His indifference was cutting, but then he launched into a dig at Lindy.
You and Lindy, what a couple of fools.
But at least you got what you wanted.
| bet she would be proud of her precious little boy, even under his mom's thumb.

Allison knew Lindy and Colton's twisted games all too well.
Lindy didn't care about Colton as much as she used him.
With a smirk, Allison pulled out her phone and hit record, capturing the pathetic scene on full display.
I'll give you three seconds.
Agree or not, | don't care.
Three, two...At the final count, Colton, furious to the point of almost fainting, gave a small reluctant nod.
The deal with the Everett Group was too valuable to pass up.
Although he couldn't speak, Colton's rage burned.
inside like a fire.
He was in no position to challenge Allison, not with Kellan on his side.
But in his mind he was already planning his revenge, imagining ways to make her suffer in ways she couldn't
even dream of.
Meanwhile, Melany felt the rising wave of panic.
Allison, don't you think you're taking this too far Just because you got a deal doesn't mean that you are
untouchable, Melany snapped, with frustration on the surface.
She had chere to sabotage everything, to show Lindy that Allison couldn't be trusted.
Now, seeing his plan fail so spectacularly, he was seething inside.
This is too much! Allison replied nonchalantly: Oh, so you don't want the chance after all.
Colton's eyes widened and he shook his head furiously.
Melany, although seething with resentment, had no choice but to murmur: We... want it.
Thinking of Lindy's manipulative and contemptuous face, Melany tasted the bitterness of defeat.
Allison laughed, soft but full of mockery.
You want it And this seems like bullying to you Honey, this is just the appetizer.
She calmly put her phone away, the recording safe on her computer.
As | said before, I'm not one to forget a grudge.
Betrayagain and you'll askfor another round.
Stay out of my way if you want to keep things civil.
Kellan's voice cut through the tension, laced with dry humor.
Melany, instead of standing there, pretending to be the victim, maybe you should take Colton to the hospital.

After all, it would be awkward if Colton had to sign contracts with a hand full of deformed fingers.
Allison couldn't help but giggle, briefly imagining Colton trying to kick out his business partners while awkwardly
signing contracts with a mangled hand.
Melany blushed.
and his eyes filled with tears.
"You.
you two.
" he stammered, his usual tactic of crying failing him this time.
Neither Kellan nor Allison were interested in his tears.
Kellan was impassive and Colton, writhing in pain, was in no position to comfort her.
Wiping away her tears with a snort, Melany moved to support Colton.
Con, Colton.
Let's go to the hospital.
You have to think carefully, you can't swallow your pride for a deal.
