Chapter 1048:

Nova was seething with deep anger inwardly, but the crowd around her remained composed, bowing down with unwavering respect.

“Yes, Mrs. Lloyd!”

Truth be told, they would have supported Allison without being told. After all, everyone could tell what was right or wrong.

Brook’s face turned ashen, his pride crushed under the weight of humiliation. But in front of Kinslee, he dared not escalate further. He swallowed his frustration and forced himself to remain composed.

“Since you’ve put it that way, I’ll drop the issue of the necklace,” he muttered, his gaze cutting coldly toward Allison. “Ms. Clarke, I hope you prove yourself worthy of bearing the Lloyd name.”

Kellan walked over to Allison’s side and stated, “It’s the Lloyd family that isn’t worthy of Allison.”

His face was void of emotion, yet his eyes resembled bottomless abysses — dark and impenetrable.

What he said was true.

To him, Brook’s very existence cast a shadow over the entire Lloyd family, leaving it irredeemably tainted.

His disgust for this place had simmered for years, but Allison was the single light in his otherwise bleak world. She was his only salvation.

“My relationship with Allison is not for anyone else to interfere in.” Kellan intertwined his fingers with hers, his grip warm and steady. The touch radiated a quiet strength that she could feel through the chaos surrounding them.

“No proof is needed between us,” Kellan added.

Allison held the necklace tightly in her hand. It paired perfectly with the snake-shaped bracelet she already owned — a cherished keepsake from her mother.

During the time she and Kellan had faced life-and-death situations together, they became drawn to each other in ways neither had anticipated.

Meanwhile, the sight of their interlocked fingers sent a wave of discomfort through Nova.

“Congratulations, Ms. Clarke,” Nova said with underlying displeasure. To her, Allison was showing off and silently declaring victory.

But no matter how much anger churned inside her, Nova kept her composure. She wanted this ordeal over with as quickly as possible without getting herself involved.

“Since this matter has been resolved and proven to be just a misunderstanding, I’ll have someone take Barton away so he doesn’t remain an eyesore.” Nova glanced at Barton, sprawled pathetically on the floor.

But before Nova could say something more, Allison’s voice rang out, stopping her.

“Why the rush?”

Allison turned to Barton with a piercing stare and began questioning him again.
