Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1274: Crossing her arms, Kylee fixed Cynthia with a probing stare. "Why are you so determined to help me, anyway?" Ever since she took her first step into the entertainment industry, Kylee quickly learned that there were no handouts waiting for anyone. Family ties aside, she and Cynthia had never really shared any warmth, so Cynthia's sudden willingness to help felt suspicious to her. Her instincts told her to tread carefully. Nobody could ever accuse Cynthia of being naive. As soon as Kylee cast doubt her way, Cynthia caught the hint of suspicion and let out a light laugh.

"Honestly, I'm just trying to get on your good side, Kylee. Besides, Linsey isn't exactly my favorite person either." Kylee raised an eyebrow in response. "So, what's your angle?" With the cards on the table, Cynthia dropped all pretenses. "If things work out tonight, I want you to put in a good word for me with Mr. Wells. I'm after that design director position." Arranging that was a breeze for Kylee. She and Huntley had planned everything down to the last detail, even making sure Felix would be at the event.

Once the deal was sealed, Kylee could praise Cynthia in front of Felix, and she had no doubt Felix would grant the promotion Cynthia wanted. "Fine," Kylee responded, giving her agreement with a nod. But Cynthia wasn't quite finished. A hint of hesitation appeared as she nervously added, "Kylee, there's a bag I've been longing for, but my parents think it's far too much. Would you buy it for me?" Kylee didn't flinch. "Which bag are you talking about?" Without delay, Cynthia flashed her phone, showing the photo.

The handbag was from an exclusive designer's collection, and the price tag read two million dollars. That made Kylee purse her lips, thinking how wasteful it would be to drop that much cash just to inconvenience Linsey, especially since it wouldn't actually solve anything. Lose yourself in stories on gαℓησνs․com After weighing her options, she turned her gaze from the screen and, though hesitant, finally said, "Alright." She figured that spending two million would be a small price to pay if it meant driving a wedge between Collin and Linsey.

With excitement bubbling up, Cynthia exclaimed, "Kylee, you're the best!" A quick flick of her wrist signaled Kylee's impatience. "You have every promise I can give. Now, what exactly is your scheme?" Cynthia's lips curled in mischief. "Remember that gold bracelet I gave you? We'll have a waiter slip it into Linsey's bag, then accuse her of theft right in front of everyone." "Not bad at all." Kylee grinned and snapped her fingers. "She's just a small-town girl at heart. Even with Collin's ring on her finger, she still gives off that desperate vibe.

No one would doubt she'd go for something shiny." As she saw her plan being welcomed, Cynthia's grin only grew wider. "I appreciate the praise, Kylee. I'll set things in motion." "You may proceed," Kylee replied, removing the bracelet from her wrist and handing it over. . . .
