Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 667: "I never planned to depend entirely on someone else. My marriage was about mutual support and seeking a simple, joyful life together," she explained, her expression intense. "Actually, knowing he was the founder from the beginning would have stopped me from marrying him, despite my admiration for the enigmatic person who created CR Corporation from nothing."

Jeffery responded, "You truly are remarkable. It's actually he who doesn't deserve someone like you."

Linsey was visibly surprised by his comment.

"Is that truly what you think?" Linsey let out a quiet laugh. "Because if you ask anyone else, they'd probably say that someone like me-just a regular girl with no status to speak of-could never measure up to the man who built CR Corporation." In a composed voice, Jeffery retorted, "Collin may be skilled and accomplished for building up CR Corporation so young. Yet, what you've achieved is even more extraordinary. I can imagine the kind of effort it takes to build a company, but I can't fully grasp the challenges you've faced throughout your life…"

Linsey looked at Jeffery, genuinely surprised, and said with unexpected seriousness, "You know, that's the most sensible thing I've ever heard you say."

Jeffery was caught off guard and laughed heartily. Gazing into the distance, he said, "It's odd, really. Sometimes my actions and words don't seem to stem from my true intentions. Reflecting on them now, I see a trail of mistakes."

Linsey considered his words and responded, "Your behavior might be influenced by Carol's crooked perspectives. You've pampered her, perhaps out of pity for her lifelong heart condition, but it's clouded your judgment on what's acceptable for her. This has only fueled her selfishness."

She continued thoughtfully after a moment, "It's also entirely possible that this is simply who Carol is at her core. And because of that, no matter how much effort people put into guiding her, changing the way she acts might be nearly impossible."

After hearing what she said, Jeffery responded, "When Carol turned eighteen, our parents sat her down for a serious talk. They told her she was getting far too pampered, and at times, her behavior crossed into something downright unreasonable. They warned me against spoiling her any further and even brought up the idea of enrolling her in a proper school where she could learn some discipline. But I turned them down. I figured she'd grow out of it and learn how to behave."

While Jeffery spoke, Linsey's mind drifted to what she had seen when she came back to the hospital yesterday. She turned to him and asked, "Is Carol still saying no to the bone marrow test?"

Jeffery's expression clouded with disappointment, and he replied, "Given her heart condition and frequent bouts of illness, her fears are understandable."

"But you're well aware that your blood disorder is life-threatening. Without a suitable donor, Carol remains your best hope for survival," Linsey explained.

With a sense of resignation, Jeffery said, "Her resistance was clear yesterday. I've lost hope that she'll help. My only wish now is to find another donor soon."

Linsey fell quiet, lost in thought.
