Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540 I’ll Assist You

Alexa’s eyes widened in shock as she instinctively reached out to caress Carol’s cheek.

“Why are you touching me?” Carol exclaimed, slapping Alexa’s hand away with a look of disgust. “Keep your

filthy hands to yourself!”

Despite Carol’s harsh rejection, Alexa’s expression remained one of deep concern.

“What’s wrong with your face?” Alexa’s voice trembled with anxiety as she quickly pieced things together, her voice growing sharp. “Did someone hit you?”

Carol opened her mouth to respond but paused, catching the deep concern in Alexa’s gaze–a look reminiscent of those worn by Jeffery and her parents.

For a brief moment, Carol was overwhelmed with disgust.

How dare Alexa, merely a servant, assume a maternal role towards her?

What gave her the right?

Angered by these thoughts, Carol’s response grew harsher, asking, “Why should you care?”

She must keep the secret that Jeffery had struck her.

Struggling to control her feelings, Alexa pleaded, “Someone has hurt you badly. Your face is all swollen. Please, let me get some ointment for it right away.”

Carol’s face twisted with a flicker of rage as she hissed, “This is all Linsey’s fault! I swear she’ll pay for this!”

Alexa, taken aback, hadn’t expected Linsey to be implicated in this affair.

Just as she was about to respond, Carol fixed her gaze on her and swiftly instructed, “You used to shadow Linsey, right? Join me for the next scheme.”

Hesitating, Alexa remembered their prior failures in dealing with Linsey, each attempt rebounding disastrously. Yet, confronted with the sight of her daughter’s bruised face, Alexa found it impossible to decline. “Okay, I’ll assist you. I’ll do whatever you need, just to see you smile again.”

Linsey had been recovering at home, her wounds slowly mending.

She had hoped to reveal her pregnancy to Collin once he returned from his trip.

But Collin had been unexpectedly tied up lately, as if preoccupied with a significant issue.

Reluctant to bother him, Linsey decided to wait for an opportune moment to deliver her news.

That night, as she awaited Collin’s return for dinner, Linsey surfed the Internet in the living room.

Over the past few days, the shares of CR Corporation had surged, attracting a flurry of eager partners.
