Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 448

Chapter 448 Who Would’ve Thought They Knew Eac…

The receptionist was on the verge of breaking down.

She was faced with Carol’s overwhelming entourage and fiery temper. How was she supposed to handle thes?

“Miss Lawson, please hold on. I’ll check again.” Left with no choice, the receptionist reluctantly dialed the top

floor once more.

Not far from the commotion, Linsey found herself being dragged along by her overly eager colleagues from the Fashion Design Department, all buzzing with excitement.

Curious employees had also gathered, their whispers filling the air.

“It really is Miss Lawson! What’s she doing here?”

“I heard she’s looking for the founder. Who would’ve thought they knew each other?”

“Wait, does that mean she’s actually met the founder in person?”

A new theory began circulating. “Think about it–could our company’s partnership with the Lawson Group be because the founder and Miss Lawson are involved?”

The implication was obvious, even without being spoken aloud.

“That does make sense. The Lawson family is a powerhouse in town, and with their influence, a match between her and the founder wouldn’t be surprising.”

“But isn’t the founder rumored to be married?”

“Rumors are just that–rumors. No one’s ever confirmed anything. It could all be a cover–up.”

The chatter grew more animated.

Carol, having overheard the last few remarks, felt a wave of satisfaction wash over her.

As expected, everyone believed she was the perfect match for the CR Corporation’s founder.

That woman she had encountered at the banquet? She was nothing compared to her.

The more Carol thought about it, the more pleased she became.

She idly scanned the crowd–only for her gaze to land on a familiar figure. Her smugness vanished in an

instant.

Standing among the onlookers was Linsey. Carol’s eyes widened in shock. Wasn’t she supposed to be the founder’s wife? What was she doing here?

Linsey hadn’t planned on joining the spectacle, but her coworkers had been too enthusiastic to refuse.

From afar, she spotted Carol at the reception desk, and memories of the strange encounter at the Lawson family’s banquet resurfaced–how Carol had deliberately made things difficult for her.

Though Carol had ultimately let her pass, Linsey had sensed an underlying hostility.

Even now, something about Carol’s presence unsettled her.

After observing for a moment, she decided it was best to leave. “I still have work to finish. I’ll head back upstairs.”

Her colleagues, too caught up in the drama, barely acknowledged her words.

Linsey didn’t mind. She turned and walked away, unaware that Carol had already noticed her.

By the time Carol approached, Linsey had disappeared from sight.

But Carol knew what she had seen.

Linsey’s striking features and graceful demeanor made her hard to forget.

The realization irritated Carol even more.

So, Linsey had used her beauty to charm Collin and secure her position as his wife?

Nearby, the Fashion Design Department’s employees stiffened as Carol strode toward them, wary of having unknowingly offended her.
