Secrets Of The Neglected Wife

Chapter 1123:

“Kellan, I’m part of the Lloyd family. How could I ever do something like this?”

Hoyt gritted his teeth and looked down. He was trying to make Kellan understand that if he went down, the family’s reputation could be at risk too.

But Kellan just smirked.

“The Lloyd family doesn’t recognize illegitimate children.”

Hoyt froze in place.

He realized Kellan wasn’t going to lift a finger to help him.

Considering their recent clashes, it wasn’t surprising. Hoyt should never have lowered himself to ask Kellan for help.

Fabian scowled.

“I don’t care who you are. You’ve done wrong, so apologize to Ms. Clarke!”noveldrama

Hoyt never anticipated things would unravel like this.

“But… I didn’t intend for this. Someone misled me into this mess.” He always saw himself, from such a wealthy and powerful family, as superior to Allison, simply because she was an orphan.

He firmly believed that someone like her didn’t deserve his apology.

Yet, Fabian’s menacing stare was hard to ignore.

“If you refuse to apologize, I’m perfectly content to have tonight’s drama flood tomorrow’s news. I can picture Mr. Brook Lloyd apologizing alongside you at the press conference. It’s quite presumptuous to accuse someone so boldly during my own birthday celebration.”

Hoyt was paralyzed.

Initially, Hoyt felt an urge to defend himself, to push back.

However, Fabian’s threatening tone made him buckle.

The stakes were high — if this turned into a press scandal, Hoyt knew that his future looked grim.

“I was merely joking earlier. Now, I see my mistake.” Hoyt spoke with a faltering voice.

The fear of not securing the deal today and offending Fabian shook him deeply.

Brook’s reaction worried him the most. The man was known for his fierce temper. Even if he was Brook’s son, it wouldn’t change a bit. With reluctance, Hoyt bowed his head. “Ms. Clarke, I apologize. My accusations were unfounded.”

This simple act of contrition was a new low for Hoyt, who had never submitted to anyone before.

Fabian then turned to Abram. “You also owe her an apology.”

Abram’s face hardened.

He realized that there was no way out.

Right now, Hoyt had skillfully exonerated himself.

Melany had disappeared, leaving no clues behind.

To everyone around, it was obvious — he had plagiarized Allison’s work.

Regardless, Abram was trapped by the reality of his plagiarism. Now, his only chance for redemption was to seek forgiveness from Fabian and Allison.
