Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500 Have We Met Before

Alexa hesitated, struggling to follow Linsey’s train of thought

At the last Lawson family’s event, she hadn’t even met Carol.

Because of that, she had no idea what Carol had been thinking back then.

Eventually, she did meet her biological daughter, Carol

To keep the truth about her and Linsey’s origins hidden, Alexa had to weave a lie–that Linsey had repeatedly sought out the founder of CR Corporation with ulterior motives.

It was the only way to sway Carol to her side, turning her against Linsey, the rightful daughter of the Lawson family.

After all, Carol’s interest in the founder wasn’t a secret within the Lawson household.

But now, after she watched Carol lash out at Linsey, doubt crept into Alexa’s mind. Did Carol know something? Something deeper? Was that why her hatred toward Linsey ran so deep?

Still, Alexa was sure Carol remained unaware of the real truth. If she knew Linsey was the Lawson family’s true daughter, given her fiery temper, she would have already made Linsey’s life unbearable.

“Linsey, don’t expect to get anything out of me. I’m just a servant of the Lawson family,” Alexa said coolly, drawing a deep breath.

Linsey met her gaze calmly. After a brief pause, she spoke with conviction. “So, you don’t know the real reason either.”

Alexa’s heart skipped a beat.

Linsey was sharp–too sharp. If she kept piecing things together at this pace, it was only a matter of time before she uncovered the truth about her own origins.

A sudden wave of fear gripped Alexa. She had made a mistake. She shouldn’t have lingered here with Linsey. She should have left with Carol.

As Alexa pulled herself together, her eyes landed on the deep, blood–red wound on Linsey’s hand. Pressing her lips together, she said dryly, “I’ll get you a first aid kit. Stay put.”

Without waiting for a response, Alexa turned and walked swiftly toward the supply closet, almost as if she were fleeing

Linsey’s gaze followed her. As Alexa reached the door, Linsey’s eyes flickered–she had noticed something.

The hallway was empty. Carol’s bodyguards must have left with her.

A thought crossed Linsey’s mind, and she spoke casually. “I’m a little thirsty. Could you bring me some water?”

Alexa, still preoccupied, answered briskly, “Fine.”

Linsey wasn’t in any condition to escape, so there was no harm in indulging her request.

Just as Alexa was about to shut the door, Linsey suddenly asked, “Have we met before? Perhaps… At a hospital?”

Alexa froze. Through the narrow gap in the door, Linsey’s calm, unwavering gaze met hers, sending a jolt of panic through her chest.
