Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 510 Linsey, You've

Got Some Nerve

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Jeffery could no longer stand by. He quickly caught hold of Carol, who was on the verge of collapsing, his voice firm yet urgent as he tried to steady her emotions.

"Carol, take a deep breath. Don't let this get to you. Let's go home first, okay?"

The guests, unsettled by Carol's sharp threats, exchanged displeased glances. "Carol, do you really think you hold all the power here? Look around. Everyone at this banquet can see how much Linsey resembles your brother. You're the only one who refuses to acknowledge it!"

The words struck Carol like a bolt of lightning. She stiffened, her face draining of color. "What... What did you

just say?"

Her mind spun in chaos.

Linsey looked like Jeffery?

That was impossible.

That wretched girl-how could she ever compare to him?

No. There was no way.

Her brother belonged to her alone. Her father could never have an illegitimate daughter!

Jeffery, noticing the deepening pallor on Carol's face, felt a surge of unease. Without a second thought, he tightened his grip and tried to lead her away.

Just then, a sudden disruption echoed through the banquet hall's sound system.

"What's happening?"

"Wait-there's more?!"

As murmurs filled the room, several figures emerged from the shadows, striding toward the stage.

At the center of them stood Linsey, microphone in hand, her expression calm and composed

"I believe everyone here has seen the surveillance footage by now. Let me be clear-I, Linsey, did not steal anything from Carol."

Her words sent a ripple of shock through the crowd. Gasps broke out one after another.

"Wasn't Linsey taken away by the Lawson family?"

"When did she change outfits?"

"Oh my God! Look at her hand-it's covered in blood!"

The camera zoomed in on Linsey's face, slightly pale yet unwavering, before shifting to her injured right hand.

"Yes, everyone. These wounds? Carol did this to me earlier in the storage room."

As Linsey spoke, Millie crouched beside her and carefully lifted her left pant leg, revealing a swollen, bruised

ankle.

A collective gasp spread through the audience.noveldrama

"Linsey, you shameless cunt! Get down from there!" Carol shrieked, her self— control snapping.

She lunged forward, ready to drag Linsey off the stage, but Millie's people quickly moved to block her path.

Jeffery, still restraining Carol, cast a cold, piercing glare at Linsey. His voice was sharp and laced with anger. "Linsey, you've got some nerve."

Linsey had taken his check, yet now she dared to expose everything in front of everyone.

Linsey met his cutting gaze without a trace of fear. Instead, she reached into her pocket and pulled out the

check.

Her voice rang clear through the microphone. "Mr. Lawson, are you talking about this check? The one you tried to use to silence me?"

A poised smile played on her lips. "Don't worry, Mr. Lawson. I keep my word. You gave me two choices, remember? I'm choosing the second one."

She held the check up for everyone to see. "And as for this five-million-dollar check, I'll return it to you right here, in front of all these witnesses. That way, no one can say I took your money without delivering on a deal."
