Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 472

Chapter 472 I Still Don’t Trust Carol’s Intentions

Carol wasn’t about to let such a golden opportunity slip away she had to find a way to get Linsey to attend

her birthday party

Jeffery didn’t hesitate “Of course, it’s your birthday. You can invite whoever you want. Your party can certainly

accommodate a few extra guests”

A subtle smile played on Carol’s lips. “A few days ago, I visited CR Corporation and met an exceptional designer. I’d like to invite her.”

As she spoke, she carefully observed Jeffery’s reaction, searching for any hints in his expression.

Jeffery’s brows furrowed slightly. He cast a glance at the servants nearby before leading Carol inside, lowering his voice. “Carol, why did you go to CR Corporation again?”

He sighed, clearly exasperated. He wanted to tell her–once and for all–that she needed to stop holding onto any hope regarding the founder of CR Corporation, especially since he was already married.

But seeing the look in her eyes, he swallowed his words.

It was rare for Carol to be so deeply affected by a man. He didn’t want to be too harsh.

Hopefully, she would come to her senses on her own.

Carol, meanwhile, misinterpreted his silence entirely.

She assumed Jeffery was still struggling to help her get closer to CR Corporation’s founder.

“Jeffery, I just want to invite Mr. Riley to my birthday party. Nothing more. Don’t worry about me,” she assured

him.

Jeffery studied her for a moment before something occurred to him. “He won’t be able to attend. I heard he’s not in town right now. Must be handling something important.”

Carol’s brows lifted slightly. “Mr. Riley isn’t in town?”

Jeffery nodded. “Yeah. We were supposed to have a meeting, but he postponed it–said he had urgent business in a neighboring city”

Carol lowered her gaze, and in an instant, the pieces clicked together.

So that was it.

Linsey must have taken advantage of his absence to visit the hospital for a secret prenatal checkup.

Which meant–without a doubt–the child she was carrying wasn’t Mr. Riley’s!
