Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1219: A sarcastic laugh escaped Linsey's lips as she found the scene utterly ridiculous, her hands twitching restlessly by her sides. Standing so close together, Felix and Joanna could clearly hear every word she spoke. Joanna immediately slipped into her act. "Linsey..." She adjusted Felix's jacket draped over her shoulders, stepping closer to Linsey with eyes brimming with pitiful innocence. "I'm sorry you had to discover our affair this way," she continued softly. "Felix and I share something deep and genuine.

I hope you can find it in your heart to give us your blessing." "Deep and genuine? Give you my blessing?" Linsey's voice dripped with disbelief as she repeated the words, emphasizing their complete absurdity. Her piercing gaze shifted to Felix, questioning him directly. "And what about me? Felix, what exactly do I mean to you?" Felix remained silent. His eyes darted away from hers, betraying the guilt flickering beneath his composed exterior. "If you truly loved each other from the beginning," Linsey pressed on, her tone laced with mockery, "you could have simply broken up with me.

Why sneak around and create this pathetic mess?" Felix fell silent under her calm yet relentless questioning, seconds stretching between them. Something about her composed demeanor irritated him beyond reason. He clicked his tongue, showing not a trace of remorse. "What's done is done. What's the point of rehashing it now? Just name your compensation, and I'll give it to you immediately. Let's pretend this never happened." Linsey's smile turned bitter at those words.

The Felix she once knew-brimming with youthful vigor and ambition, gentle and courteous-seemed to have vanished completely after his career success. Disgust churned in Linsey's stomach. The two of them stood locked in silent confrontation. Observing the tension, Joanna deliberately stood between Linsey and Felix as if shielding him from harm, then pleaded with Linsey in a trembling voice, "Linsey..." "This is entirely my fault. Hit me, scold me-I'll accept whatever consequences come my way. Just don't blame Felix." Linsey's brows furrowed as she listened to Joanna's deliberately tender tone.

"Really?" Her expression remained completely blank as she looked at Joanna, beckoning her forward with a single finger. "Come here." Find what you love at gⱯlnσνs․ Panic fluttered in Joanna's chest, but she forced herself to step closer. The next moment, Linsey's hand moved with swift, decisive precision, delivering a sharp slap across Joanna's face. Caught completely off guard, Joanna let out a piercing cry of pain and crumpled to the floor, disbelief and rage blazing in her eyes.

The words "you bitch" nearly spilled from her lips, but she bit them back, maintaining her facade of wounded vulnerability. "Felix, it hurts..." Felix finally jolted from his stupor and immediately pulled Joanna into his protective embrace, pointing an accusatory finger at Linsey. "You bitch!" His harsh words brought sudden, oppressive silence to the bedroom. Felix himself seemed startled by his own outburst, freezing momentarily before collecting himself and turning his fury on Linsey. "Linsey, I never thought you could stoop so low. Joanna is nothing but a fragile, innocent girl.

If you need someone to blame, blame me. Why would you...?" Linsey silenced him with a sharp gesture, her hand whipping across his face in a resounding slap. "Felix!" Joanna's voice cracked with anguish as she scrambled to cup his stinging cheek. "Does it hurt badly?" . . .
