Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 599: After some thought, she speculated that Myla might simply feel a sense of kinship due to their striking resemblance. It wasn't unusual for two unrelated people to share similar features. Only today did Linsey finally understand why she bore a slight resemblance to Jeffery. It was because of Myla, his mother.

Deciding not to overthink it, Linsey quietly focused on enjoying her meal.

Not long after, Jeffery set down his fork. He wiped his mouth, then exchanged a subtle glance with his father. Cruz, who had been expecting this moment, nodded slightly, signaling Jeffery to proceed.

"Ms. Brooks…" Jeffery began, his tone measured. Linsey's eyes flickered slightly. She sensed that Jeffery had something on his mind. Setting down her utensils, she met his gaze. "What do you want to talk about, Mr. Lawson?"

Jeffery leaned forward slightly. "Earlier, you mentioned that you've never met the founder. I believe you, but are you truly unaware of the influence you have over his decisions?"

Linsey raised an amused brow. "Why would you think that?" she asked, her voice laced with curiosity. "I'm just a junior designer at CR Corporation, recently given a minor leadership role in fashion design. I have a superior who oversees everything, and far above that, the founder himself. How could I possibly influence his decisions?"

She let her words settle for a moment before her polite smile faded and her tone turned calm and direct. "Mr. Lawson, I understand that you want me to persuade the founder to resume collaboration with your firm. But isn't it common knowledge in town that Lawson Group is currently facing serious internal risks?"

Jeffery's expression darkened at her bluntness.

Linsey, however, remained unfazed. Even with Myla and Cruz present, she had no intention of mincing words.

"Frankly, anyone choosing to partner with Lawson Group at this moment would be taking a significant risk," Linsey continued.

"Linsey!" Jeffery abruptly stood up, his sudden outburst startling even Myla. His expression was tense with frustration as he pointed at her.

"Our family invited you to dinner, yet you sit here acting ungrateful, speaking so disrespectfully despite our goodwill!"

A cold sneer curled his lips, his gaze sharp and accusing. "With how fearless you are, who would believe you don't have powerful backing?"

Before Linsey could respond, Myla's voice cut through the tension. "Jeffery, shut up!"

Linsey blinked in surprise. She hadn't expected Myla to defend her. Wasn't the Lawson family supposed to be united in persuading her to save their firm?
