Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 482: Linsey, perplexed, raised an eyebrow at Carol. "Is there a problem, Miss Lawson?"

While noticing Carol's fingers pressing on the CR Corporation's name, Linsey did not give it much thought.

Memories of Collin ignoring her earlier filled Carol with jealousy towards Linsey. How was this woman any better than her? Carol wondered silently. The founder of CR Corporation wouldn't even glance at her because of this woman.

Just as Linsey expected more unreasonable behavior, Carol's expression softened, and she smiled. "I'm sorry. It was all a misunderstanding. Please, don't be upset."

This abrupt change made Linsey even more wary.

What was Miss Lawson really planning?

Trying not to show her doubt, Linsey calmly inquired, "May I enter now?"

"Absolutely," Carol responded, handing back the invitation. She waved over a waiter, saying, "To show my apologies, let this gentleman escort you inside."

With a subtle nod, Carol signaled the waiter, who caught the cue instantly.

Carol's knowing look indicated she was up to something.

The waiter eagerly approached Linsey, saying, "This way, Ma'am."

Having been on guard due to previous experiences, Linsey quickly declined, "There's no need. I'll go in alone."

She then took her invitation and walked inside, bypassing everyone else.

As Linsey entered and her plan unraveled, Carol's displeasure was evident.

She stood there, staring bitterly at Linsey's retreating figure, her heart seething with hatred.

Your next journey starts at gⱯlnσν????ℓs․????o????

Just wait. Her time would come.

Linsey stepped into the hotel, instantly captivated by the lavish decorations surrounding her.

"Such extravagant decor," she mused silently.

Without realizing it, she had wandered deeper into the building. Despite her careful search, she couldn't find the Lawson family's banquet hall, which was supposed to be on the first floor.

"Why can't I find it?" she wondered. The invitation had clearly stated the location.

Feeling slightly embarrassed and increasingly lost, Linsey regretted not accepting Carol's offer of guidance. But it was too late for regrets now.

Just as anxiety began to creep in, her phone rang. Seeing Collin's name, she quickly answered.

"Linsey, have you arrived?" Collin asked, his voice deep and reassuring.

Trying to mask her confusion, Linsey replied with feigned confidence, "I've just left the car. I'll be there shortly."

Collin chuckled knowingly. "Are you sure you're not lost?"

"I am not lost! I'm almost there, so stop rushing me," Linsey retorted, feeling teased.

"Alright," Collin responded calmly. "But if you don't arrive soon, I might have the hotel page you."

Page her? Linsey panicked at the mere thought.
