Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1130: As they carried on bantering, almost oblivious to everyone else, Joanne stood there, practically shaking with frustration. "How long are you two planning to go on joking around like this?" Her tone sharpened as she pulled out her phone. "Fine. If you've decided to risk Dolores' reputation, don't blame me. With one word, I can have my team release a flood of dirt on her. By tomorrow morning, Davidson Group's stock will be in free fall." But before she could tap her screen, Collin, who had been silent until now, finally spoke in a voice as calm as it was threatening. "Go ahead.

I'd love to see if your little online smear campaign can move faster than my team. But fair warning-if they're even a few seconds late, tomorrow's headlines will be all about you." Joanne froze for a moment, her eyes growing wide as if she could not believe what she had just heard. "Can you repeat that?" It seemed impossible to her that Collin, the founder of CR Corporation, would openly use his influence to threaten a woman. She wondered how he was not worried about becoming the subject of ridicule if this ever got out.

Collin's face showed no emotion as he replied, "If you're going to use these ridiculous threats against us, I have no choice but to respond in kind." As the person who built CR Corporation from the ground up, he truly believed that nothing could touch him. His silence earlier had only been to see how far Joanne was willing to push her luck. Anger twisted Joanne's features, and she yelled, "All of you come from powerful families, and now you expect me to shoulder all the blame?" Her breathing became uneven, and a wild look flickered in her eyes as she stared at the people in front of her.

Hester narrowed her eyes and retorted, "I already told you, we can end this engagement without drama. You're the one making things difficult." A bitter laugh escaped Joanne as she wiped at her eyes. "You have no idea what I'll have to deal with after you force this engagement to end." Linsey watched Joanne's pain from afar, her own heart tightening at the sight. Dolores, too, felt a wave of sympathy seeing Joanne break down like this. Find your favorite stories at g Ɐ ln σ ν s., conn "If you have any problems, you can come to us directly. We're not unreasonable.

As long as what you ask is within reason, we'll do our best to help," Dolores said, glancing at Linsey for confirmation. Linsey gave a small nod, silently letting Dolores know she agreed. Now that Hester was no longer pushing for Dustin to marry Joanne, everything would be resolved if Joanne agreed to end the engagement. Joanne let out a cold, mocking laugh as she turned to Dolores. "You think you can help me?" Her sharp gaze swept over the group, leaving a chill in the air.

"There's the most famous fashion designer in Grester here, the founder of CR Corporation, the chairwoman of Davidson Group, and the chairman of Wade Group," Joanne said, her voice steady and low. Finally, she fixed her eyes on Linsey. "But you, Linsey, you're the one I envy most. You're beautiful, you're talented, and you have so many admirers. I always thought you fell short because you were an orphan.

I never expected you to turn out to be the biological daughter of the Lawson family, and now you're even running the Lawson Group as CEO!" Linsey's brow furrowed as she noticed the growing hostility in Joanne's stare. . . . Message from Noah: Have an excellent weekend, dear ones.
