Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1294: A grateful smile broke through the assistant's tears. "Thank you, Linsey!" Still wiping away her tears, the assistant continued thanking Linsey as she hurried out of the office. With the room now empty except for the two of them, Linsey closed the distance between herself and Joanna. Saying nothing, she picked up the coffee cup from Joanna's desk, twisted the lid open, and peered inside. Only three lonely ice cubes floated in the drink, proof that Joanna's complaints were nothing more than an excuse to lash out. Linsey didn't need to ask any questions.

She already knew exactly why Joanna was doing this. Rumors had circled the office group chat for weeks. If someone had been friendly toward Linsey, Joanna made sure to make their life miserable. Meanwhile, anyone who sided against Linsey seemed to earn Joanna's favor almost instantly. Cynthia, for example, had always been quick to criticize Linsey, and now she was Joanna's right-hand woman. Unable to hide her contempt, Linsey shot Joanna a look and couldn't help but sneer. "Honestly, this is so petty. You're acting like a child." "I'm not being childish.

She made a mistake, so of course there had to be consequences!" Joanna shot back, her voice rising. "And just what are you doing here, Linsey?" Before Joanna could finish, Linsey acted without hesitation. She flung the cold coffee straight at Joanna. Joanna gasped, momentarily speechless, then cried out, "Are you insane, Linsey?" Lifting a brow, Linsey coolly replied, "You wanted to know why I showed up? That's your answer." She could let them take her condo, but she would never let them steal her career. Linsey was back, and she was here to take back everything that belonged to her!

Joanna stood facing Linsey, while outside the office, a group of intrigued employees huddled, discreetly watching the intense showdown. As Linsey audaciously doused Joanna with coffee, the onlookers let out a collective gasp, their faces alight with awe. gⱯlnσνℓs․cøm brings endless adventures "Wow, Linsey's got some serious guts!" one whispered. "She's standing up for us like a true hero-my pulse is pounding!" another exclaimed. "Quit gushing and snap some photos quick! I've never seen Joanna so humiliated-it's incredibly gratifying!" a third urged.

Unaware of the spectators, Joanna was consumed by fury at Linsey's biting words, her temper flaring uncontrollably. "Linsey, you despicable woman!" she spat, circling the desk with her hand raised to strike Linsey. But Linsey preemptively slapped her. Caught off guard, Joanna stumbled, collapsing to the floor in embarrassment, clutching her stinging cheek, her eyes blazing with rage. "You dared to hit me?" she hissed.

Linsey, towering above with an icy smirk, retorted, "You swung first; I was only protecting myself." Without giving Joanna a chance to speak further, Linsey tossed the sign at her. "I'm offering you a chance to redeem yourself. Leave Wells Group voluntarily, and I'll let bygones be bygones." . . .
