Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 280: Kylee's interest was piqued at once. With a smile, she eagerly asked, "Has Linsey been found?"

Cynthia's eyes lit up with excitement. "I was the first to track her down. I sent someone to get her, so by now, Linsey is probably already in the hospital. She'll be all over the news again by tomorrow morning!"

Kylee chuckled and shook her head, feigning sympathy. "Oh, poor Linsey." A slow, knowing smile spread across her lips as she continued, "But since my fans caused this mess, I suppose it's only right that I visit her and offer an apology."

Cynthia scoffed. "I heard Allie brought a pile of sharp stones to throw at Linsey. Even if you show up, she might not be in any shape to receive visitors. Her face might be covered in blood. That would be a terrifying sight." Kylee's heart pounded with anticipation, and a wicked smile crept across her face.

Could it be that Linsey was disfigured?

The more Kylee thought about it, the more her excitement grew.

It would be perfect if her face was completely ruined.

And when Collin saw her disfigured face, he would feel nothing but disgust.

Hopefully, he would leave Linsey, or better yet, divorce her.

Kylee and Cynthia fell silent, but they secretly reveled in the idea of Linsey suffering. Right now, their smiles were impossible to suppress.

Just then, Cynthia's phone rang.

As she pulled it out, she couldn't help but frown. Jude's name flashed on the screen.

They had just spoken not long ago. Why was he calling again?

Could it be that Jude wasn't satisfied with their deal and was trying to squeeze more out of her?

Although reluctant, Cynthia answered the call. "Hey. What's up?"

To her surprise, Jude's trembling voice came through the line. "Cynthia, we're in serious trouble!"

Cynthia's brow knitted together. "What are you talking about? What happened? Speak clearly."

With shallow, uneven breaths, Jude rushed to explain, "A man approached me after we split up. He knows you and Kylee paid me to frame Linsey for plagiarism, forcing me to apologize publicly."

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Cynthia, I have no choice! If I don't do what he says, he'll expose everything, and I'll be ruined! But if I apologize to Linsey now, I might have a slim chance of salvaging my future. The public will forget about this eventually. I can't let my secrets get out!"

Wide-eyed in disbelief, Cynthia bellowed, "Jude, do you even hear yourself?!"

Meanwhile, Kylee overheard Jude's frantic voice through the phone and turned ghostly pale. With her expression twisted in rage, she snatched the phone from Cynthia.

"What kind of madness is this? If you apologize now, everything we've done will be for nothing! I won't let you mess this up! Jude, listen to me! You can't go online! If you do, I swear you'll regret it!"

"I-I don't have a choice. That man is forcing me. If I don't clear things up and apologize soon, my future is over. I can't follow your orders anymore."

Kylee's face darkened, and she pressed on, "What did you just say? Who's forcing you?"

Kylee sat still, her thoughts circling in quiet suspicion.

Could it be Collin?

No. That was out of the question.

There was no way he cared that much about Linsey. At best, she was just a fleeting distraction to him. Nothing more.
