Chapter 844:
Allisonâs expression darkened. âWhatâs their status now?â Given Verrucktâs earlier cold vibe, he clearly wasnât in the business of sparing lives.
âMapâs on its way, but Kellanâs pinned down in a shootout,â Amya explained. âHeâs split from Gordon.â
Time was still on their side.
Allison steadied her nerves. âGet that yacht layout down pat. Iâm on my way.â
âRoger that. Watch your six, Ms. Clarke,â Amya replied. With her mind made up, Allison made a beeline for the black market.
She quickly laundered the money from Verrucktâs black card, buying herself no-nonsense clothes, a few trusty weapons, and, lastly, a business vehicle.
âIâll be at Eastshade Dock in twenty minutes,â Allison declared.
She swung the car door open with determination, slid in, and gave the guns and ammo a thorough once-over. âAmya, I need Kellanâs exact spot.â
âGot it,â Amya responded. âSending the coordinates to your phone now.â
After ending the call, Allison headed straight for Eastshade Dock.
For tomorrowâs operation, Allison needed Melany and Colton to draw fire on the surface.

While navigating the traffic, Allison dialed Melany.
âAllison, whatâs up?â Irritation tinged Melanyâs voice. Allison cut to the chase, stirring the pot. âColton dropped by today. He spilled some fascinating tales.â
Melanyâs breath caught. âWhat did he say?â
Since their fallout at the White Stallion Club, Colton had vanished. And now heâd turned up on Allisonâs doorstep!
âAbout that stunt you pulled five years ago.â Allison didnât mince words. âTurns out youâve got a knack for playing dress-up with my life.â
Her tone was light, almost amiable, yet it cut through Melany like a chill wind.
She knew? Colton had actually spilled everything to Allison!
Humiliation washed over Melany, sticky and suffocating like a wave of mud.
The sting of Allisonâs revelation was a bitter pill to swallow.
âDoes it really matter? Sure, you saved Colton, but Iâm the one who rushed him to the hospital!â Melany retorted, her voice tinged with frustration yet resolute. âIn a way, it isnât wrong to say I saved Colton.â
Allison couldnât help but be amused by Melanyâs bold claim. âIf you really think youâre in the right, why impersonate me from those days? Melany, love built on borrowed deeds isnât genuine. Honestly, I pity you.â
Melanyâs fingers trembled with anger. She had never imagined that, in Coltonâs eyes, their years together would pale in comparison to a single memory. Drawing a deep breath, she gripped her phone, her heart refusing to accept this.
