Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1316: She ended the call and looked over at Collin. A bright, barely concealed grin spread across her face as she made up a reason. "Collin, something urgent just came up at work. I have to go." She had no idea that Collin, sitting close by with his sharp hearing, had caught every word, even though she hadn't put the phone on speaker. Not wanting to let on, Collin simply acted as though he knew nothing. He kept his expression neutral and nodded. "Go ahead." The drive from Vista Villa to the Wells Group took Linsey roughly thirty minutes.

She hurried, anxious that she would miss the drama entirely. To her relief, she arrived just as the chaos was peaking. The moment Linsey burst inside, she found the office in shambles. Shouts and shrieks echoed off the walls, making the place feel like it could collapse at any second. Cynthia had Joanna pinned to the floor, her grip merciless. Felix hovered nearby, desperate to step in, but with Cynthia wielding a fruit knife, he kept his distance, too scared of getting hurt. Joanna screamed in pain as Cynthia pulled her hair, frantically calling out to Felix, "Felix, do something!

Help me!" Felix's face twisted with worry as he tried to reason with Cynthia. "Please, Cynthia, let her go. We can talk this out calmly." "Talk this out?" Cynthia scoffed, eyes wild. "Joanna's the one behind all the mess, but everyone sides with her because she plays the victim so well. I'm done with it." "Cynthia-" Felix barely got a word out before Cynthia cut him off with a shrill scream, shouting, "I'm done! If I'm sinking, Joanna is going down with me!" Without another word, Cynthia lifted the knife high, pointing it straight at Joanna with wild intent.

Joanna screamed again, her voice raw with fear, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Please! Someone help me!"

In that tense moment, only Linsey sprang into action. Seizing the opportunity while Cynthia was distracted, Linsey lunged forward, boldly grabbing Cynthia's arm and trying to wrest the knife away. "Let me go!" Cynthia shrieked, thrashing wildly in Linsey's grasp.

"I'm going to kill that bitch!" Driven by a surge of anger, Cynthia's strength became almost impossible for Linsey to handle. The knife in Cynthia's grip edged dangerously closer to Joanna's forehead, forcing Linsey to yell at Felix and the others, desperation in her voice. "Don't just stand there! Help me!" "Oh, right..." That snapped Felix out of his trance, and he lunged forward to help subdue Cynthia. Together, they wrestled with her, struggling to pry the knife away. . . .
