    How could someone like him truly marry her into the prestigious Lloyd family?


    Ken’s lips curled into a sneer, his gaze unwavering.


    “The entire Lloyd family is well aware of Allison and me,” he replied coolly. “Perhaps Miss Johnson, you’re simply not as well-informed as you believe.”


    Allison met their words with a calm, collected gaze, herposure unshaken as she regarded them both.


    “I have no interest in your drama. I’ve made it clear before — it’s best not to provoke me.”


    Looking at Colton, she no longer felt the pang of heartache that once defined her thoughts of him.
