Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 501

Chapter 501 Unlocking

After making sure the door was securely locked, Alexa finally felt at ease and walked away.

She hesitated for a moment before deciding to wait until Carol was nearly finished before returning. The last thing she wanted was to be stuck alone in the same room with Linsey,

Meanwhile, inside the storage room, Linsey heard the click of the lock but showed no reaction.

She lowered her gaze to her injured hand and let out a silent sigh.

As a designer, her hands were everything–yet they had suffered so much.

But she didn’t dwell on the thought for long. Her eyes shifted toward the shelves.

Earlier, she had noticed some old cleaning uniforms stacked there.

Bracing herself against the wall with her uninjured hand, she forced her weak body to stand.

Pain shot through her wounds, leaving her drained, but she had no time to rest. Alexa could return at any moment, and waiting passively wasn’t an option.

Carol had already shown no mercy. Once she came back from the birthday party, she wouldn’t hesitate to make things worse.

Linsey gritted her teeth, gripping the shelf for support as she pulled herself upright.

Her movements were slow and shaky, but she managed to reach for a uniform before lowering herself back to

the floor.

Changing was far more difficult than she had anticipated. Every movement sent waves of pain through her body. But if she didn’t disguise herself, even if she managed to escape, her elegant dress would make her an easy

target.

By the time she finally finished, she was drenched in sweat, her breath coming in uneven gasps.

Her eyes burned, but she forced herself to push the emotions down. There was no time for weakness. She slipped off her high heels next.

When Carol had shoved her earlier, she had instinctively used her hand and foot to shield her abdomen.

Now, not only was her hand injured, but her ankle was swollen again.

The previous sprain had barely healed.

If this kept happening, it would only get worse.

Linsey steadied herself and made her way to the storage room door. Pressing her ear against it, she listened carefully.

Chapter 501 Unlocking

Earlier, she had noticed how deserted this part of the hotel was.

Most of the staff were occupied with Carol’s birthday party, which was why they had been bold enough to lock

her up here.

If word got out that a guest had been forcibly detained, it would be a scandal that could damage the Lawson family’s reputation.

After a few moments of silence, Linsey confirmed that the hallway was empty.

Only then did she reach into her hair, carefully pulling out a small clip.

She inserted the pointed end into the keyhole, twisting it with practiced precision.

The lock released.

Her eyes lit up.

Memories of her childhood at the orphanage surfaced–of the time she had been locked in an attic while

playing.

No one had come when she cried for help. She had felt utterly helpless.
