Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 624: Beside Collin stood a face Linsey recognized immediately-it was Jeffery.

Linsey's breath caught, her eyes stinging with tears as she looked at Carol.

"What's the point of showing me this picture? I was supposed to attend that event too…"

Carol only sneered, pulling out another photograph. This time, it was a close-up of the elegant invitation from the Lawson family.

"Do you see the CR emblem here, Linsey? It stands for CR Corporation-or, more precisely, its founder," Carol said, her tone unnervingly calm.

She continued, "Our family sorts invitations according to the status of the guests. The one your husband received was the exclusive black and gold version-reserved for only the most esteemed attendees."

Leaning forward, Carol fixed Linsey with a piercing stare. "Now, do you see why you were invited to our banquet? Everything was connected to your husband being the founder of CR Corporation."

A sharp pain tugged at Linsey's scalp, and her cheeks flushed with discomfort.

Speechless, she could no longer deny the mounting evidence before her.

Every detail pointed to a truth too enormous to ignore-Collin was the elusive founder of CR Corporation.

Still, Linsey struggled to accept that the man she had loved so deeply could have kept such a secret from her.

Watching Linsey's expression, Carol's smirk only grew.

"Ever wonder why your husband would hide his true identity from you?"

Struggling to breathe, Linsey forced out a raspy question, "Carol, what is it that you really want? Did you go through all this just to show me this truth?"

Carol's expression darkened.

To her surprise, Linsey's face didn't show the heartbreak or devastation she'd expected.

Carol hadn't planned to rush things today, but she'd recently learned that the founder of CR Corporation intended to propose to his wife at the company's annual gala tonight and make their relationship public.

The thought made Carol even more bitter, her eyes burning with resentment.

She was determined not to let Linsey leave unscathed.

A twisted smile curled on Carol's lips.

"You've just given me an idea. Believe me, I didn't drag you here for a friendly chat."

Without warning, she reached for Linsey.

Linsey tensed, expecting a slap, but instead, a sudden, sharp pain shot through her fingers-Carol was pinching them cruelly.

Linsey gasped, pain flashing in her eyes, but she refused to look away.

"Still daring to stare me down?" Carol taunted, her voice full of bitterness.

She grabbed Linsey's wrist and yanked it backward.
