Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 65: After some self-reassurance, Linsey managed to settle her nerves. Previously, she had been with Felix for five years and never experienced such a spontaneous attraction. Clearly, Collin's charm surpassed Felix's!

Once, she harbored feelings for Felix, but now, seeing his true nature, she recognized he lacked any redeeming traits. Indeed, Collin was a far superior choice.

Her thoughts wandered briefly, but she soon regained her professional demeanor upon arriving at the office.

Entering the office, Linsey noted the absence of several colleagues from their usual places. She discovered why as she walked past the break room. The first voice she heard was Cynthia's. "I just saw Linsey step into a luxury car earlier. That must be the guy who picked her up, right? And calling him her husband? Come on, that's clearly just to disguise that he's her sugar daddy."

Another colleague sounded unsure. "No way! Is Linsey really being supported by someone? You never can tell, can you?"

Linsey recognized the voice as belonging to a colleague who had recently become Cynthia's devoted follower after receiving an expensive gift from her.

A few other coworkers were also there, whispering about Linsey. Without hesitation, Linsey quietly activated the recording app on her phone.

"I didn't see that coming either."

"But perhaps he really is her husband. Linsey is quite attractive-she could easily end up with a wealthy man."

Cynthia sneered, "It's one thing to marry rich, but marrying some dubious old man would be laughable."

After a brief pause, Cynthia declared with certainty, "I still say he's probably just her sugar daddy. Linsey doesn't have the connections or the background. What well-to-do young man in town would take a woman like her seriously? At best, she'd only be a mistress. I've noticed many women like her in high society, those more interested in money and status than anything else."

"Wow, that's the reality, huh?"

"Cynthia's correct. Why would any affluent man take interest in someone like her? Only someone of Cynthia's stature, a true rich girl, would fit into a prestigious family."

Cynthia smirked. "I figured Linsey wasn't anything special from the start. Looks like I was right. Honestly, it wouldn't shock me if she clinched the top spot in the last interview by seducing her patron."

Linsey had heard enough. As the insults intensified, she barged into the break room, startling everyone inside.

"Have you all had enough?" Linsey's icy look swept across the room, settling on Cynthia.

The others, taken aback, quickly averted their eyes. They hadn't anticipated that Linsey would catch them gossiping about her. One colleague attempted to feign innocence. "Linsey, what's this about? We were just engaging in a light conversation."

"A light conversation?" Linsey held up her phone and played back the recording. The room's atmosphere shifted instantly as faces filled with alarm. "Is that clear enough? I'd be glad to forward this to the authorities and have them take a listen. They can sort out the legal ramifications of slander and defamation."

Linsey glanced at the group before her, their faces shifting uneasily. Amused, she tilted her head and asked in a leisurely tone, "So? Do you all remember what you said now?"

A chorus of stammered replies followed.

"Y-yeah, we do."
