Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 495

Chapter 495 Why Are You So Hostile Toward Me

After a short hesitation, Carol forced a polite grin. “Millie, why are you so hostile toward me? Our families have worked together for years. By all logic, we should be on good terms…”

Before she could finish, Millie interrupted sharply, “Oh, save it! Do you really think you can keep up this charade? Have you forgotten who spread those vile rumors about me back in school? Don’t pretend to be kind

I’m not falling for it.”

Carol’s expression tensed as she struggled to maintain the elegant demeanor expected of her.

Her lips twitched ever so slightly in frustration,

Damn Millie!

“Millie, you’re misunderstanding me. I had nothing to do with those accusations back then. Didn’t I later present proof that cleared my name?” Carol forced another smile

Millie let out a mocking laugh. “Proof? You mean the lies you fabricated? Just like the fake surveillance footage you pulled today?”

Carol’s eyes flickered with a trace of unease. “That footage wasn’t altered. This is your first time meeting Linsey, isn’t it? You have no idea what she’s really like. This isn’t the first time she’s pulled something like this.”

Millie seethed at Carol’s innocent act–nothing would be more satisfying than slapping that smug face.

At first, she had actually believed Linsey had stolen Carol’s necklace.

But when Linsey was forcibly dragged away, Millie caught a glimpse of the defiance burning in her eyes.

That look–it struck a deep chord.

It was the same expression she once had when she was drowning under the weight of relentless, humiliating

gossip.

Perhaps it was an unspoken bond between those who had suffered the same injustice, but in that moment, Millie’s pulse quickened.

A fierce urge to step forward and pull Linsey out of this mess nearly overwhelmed her.

She was certain now–Linsey wasn’t guilty.

She had been set up!

But without concrete proof, the Lawsons wouldn’t release her.

So, Millie confided in her friends, laying out her suspicions and a plan to expose the truth.

Thankfully, they stood by her side, ready to help clear Linsey’s name.

Before they could make their move, though, Millie spotted Carol and Alexa lurking suspiciously.

Without hesitation, she confronted Carol.

As expected, this woman was just as unbearable as ever!

Millic eyed Carol’s arrogant stance and scoffed, “I may not know Linsey well, but I know exactly what kind of person you are. You’d better pray nothing ruins your grand birthday celebration tonight.”

With that, Millie spun around and strode off, dragging her friends with her.

Carol clenched her jaw, seething as she muttered under her breath, “That insufferable girl, who does she think she is to challenge me?”

Soon, she would marry the founder of CR Corporation. When that happened, she would be the most powerful

woman in Grester.

Meanwhile, Linsey was shoved into a dimly lit storage room on the hotel’s first floor.

“Get in there!” The bodyguard pushed her inside and yelled, “Don’t cause trouble.”

Linsey stumbled forward, grabbing onto a shelf to steady herself.
