Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1114: At that moment, Hester turned her attention to Jeffery, forcing on a well-practiced smile. "Mr. Lawson, it's been a while. Nice to see you here representing Lawson Group." Her gaze drifted to Alicia, who sat next to Jeffery. "Word is you two recently got married. I suppose the rumors are true. I haven't had a chance to congratulate you yet." For years, Wade Group and Lawson Group had worked side by side, once matching each other in resources and standing. Lately, however, Lawson Group had been losing momentum, its growth slowing with each passing year.

That history was the only reason Hester bothered to treat Jeffery with respect. Jeffery met her politeness with equal calm. "Thank you, Mrs. Wade. Just so you know, I stepped down as CEO of Lawson Group a few days ago." A hint of pride flickered in his eyes as he nodded toward Linsey. "From here on, my sister Linsey will be running the company." The announcement caught Hester off guard. A ripple of surprise broke through her composure as she stared at Linsey, who remained calm and collected. "Wait. Are you saying Mrs. Riley is your sister?" Jeffery simply nodded.

"That's right." Ignoring the flicker of discomfort on Hester's face, Jeffery grinned playfully. "Don't you think Linsey and I look alike, Mrs. Wade?" Alicia, sitting quietly beside Jeffery, had heard this line enough times to be unfazed. Ever since Linsey had stepped up as Lawson Group's president and embraced her family ties with the Lawson family, Jeffery had taken to dropping hints about their sibling bond to nearly everyone he met. Although the Lawson family hadn't made any formal statement about Linsey, word had already spread among Grester's inner circles.

Hester's carefully composed smile nearly wavered at his remark. Her gaze darted between Jeffery and Linsey as she studied their faces in a new light. Until now, she had never paid much attention to any resemblance-perhaps simply because she had never actually seen Linsey and Jeffery side by side before. Stay updated with galnσν.cøm But now, as they stood together, the family likeness was unmistakable. No one would doubt their connection after seeing them like this. "So, Mrs.

Riley is the real daughter of the Lawson family," Hester said, forcing a warm tone, though her eyes betrayed a brief flash of regret. If she had realized Linsey was the Lawson family's real daughter, she would have pushed Dustin to get close to her from the very beginning. Still, she couldn't help but be taken aback that Jeffery had truly stepped aside and handed the president title to Linsey. She found herself questioning whether Jeffery truly had no concerns about Linsey someday taking full control of the Lawson Group's fortune. Besides, Linsey had only ever been known as a designer.

Hester couldn't help but wonder whether she was truly equipped to run a company as complex as Lawson Group. Linsey raised her brows at Jeffery's comment, casting him a composed, almost dismissive glance. "Yes," she said calmly, "Jeffery is indeed my brother." As she spoke, her gaze shifted leisurely toward Hester. She didn't miss the flicker of surprise in the woman's eyes. It wasn't hard to guess what thoughts were racing through her mind. . . .
