Chapter 1254:

What Melany didn’t know was that Allison had recently poured a significant amount of money into Hacker’s World. Moreover, most of her assets were in Vrining.

“Miss Johnson, there’s nothing to be envious of. If you want money, you could always try working as a caddie instead of depending on others.”

Allison’s tone was polite. But the meaning? Pure venom.

Her voice was light, almost lazy. “As for the tips, that’s just common courtesy.”

It had been her bet with Geltay. Yet, Melany was the one making a spectacle of it. The businessmen from Vespera were starting to grow irritated, their gazes toward Melany turning colder by the second.

Colton, who had been silently observing, finally spoke. His expression was grim, his voice sharp with warning as he looked at Melany. “Shut up. This has nothing to do with us.”

He might not have known about Allison’s golf skills before, but it didn’t matter now. She had won — fair and square. And one thing was certain — Geltay would keep his word.

Melany’s voice carried a note of grievance as she said, “Colton, I’m sorry. I only meant to remind Allison — it’s just the rules, after all.” All eyes turned toward Allison. Even Geltay’s brow furrowed slightly.

Based on the information he’d gathered, Kellan had no shortage of wealth, but Allison? She was practically a nobody. There was no way she could casually produce ten thousand. He had expected her to avoid the issue altogether. Instead, she nonchalantly pulled out a pen and a check.

“Rules do matter.” She directed a pleasant smile at the caddies. “But honestly, ten thousand feels a bit… underwhelming. A rare and delightful day like this calls for a proper celebration.”

Before anyone could react, she tore off the check and handed it to the manager standing beside her. “Thirty thousand. Consider it a token of appreciation for everyone’s hard work.”

Melany was shocked. Was she seeing things? She had personally confirmed that Allison’s funds in Ontdale were nearly depleted. Yet here she was, holding a check stamped with the highest-tier bank seal from Vrining — there was no way it was fake.

The manager and the caddies hadn’t expected such generosity either. Cheers erupted almost instantly.

“Thank you, Ms. Clarke! Wishing you a wonderful and successful day!”

Colton stood frozen, shock rippling through him as he watched the manager accept the check. Since when did Allison have this kind of money in Vrining? He had always assumed that she was struggling, just barely scraping by. But now, it was clear — she had secrets. More than he had ever imagined.

Of course, Colton knew that she had once made a fortune in Muisvedo’s casinos. This amount was probably insignificant to her.

Still, he couldn’t shake the ache in his chest. Had he ever really known his ex-wife? They had shared a life for three years, yet it now felt as if he had been living with a complete stranger.

“Allison, you are so generous!”

Melany’s nails dug into her palms, but she still kept a smile. She tried hard to hold back the jealousy burning inside her. If Allison had that kind of wealth, it could only mean one thing — she had been with a powerful man, someone influential. Just like she was now with Kellan, a man of immense wealth. The thought only made Melany’s resentment flare hotter. But Allison didn’t even spare her a glance.
