NovelOnlineChapter 436 Chapter 436 Why Are We Taking The Stairs In an instant, Alexa realized that Linsey was the real daughter of the Lawson family, the very child she had secretly switched all those years ago.
Alexa's pulse quickened. She took a shaky breath and demanded, "Who are you?" Linsey caught the flicker of emotions crossing Alexa's face-shock, fear, then something almost menacing, it was unsettling.
Frowning, she instinctively stepped back. "I'm just a guest at the Lawson family banquet. Is there a problem? Her gaze settled on the middle-aged woman before her, and she continued, "Just now... you said, "It'sagain." What did you mean by that? Have we met before?" Linsey studied Alexa carefully. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't place her.
So why did this woman look at her as if she had just seen a ghost? Alexa, however, remembered Linsey perfectly, even if Linsey had no idea who she was.

Alexa's expression darkened. She couldn't let Linsey meet them.
If they saw her face, everything would unravel.
With tslipping through her fingers, Alexa was determined to take this secret to the grave. No one, especially not Linsey, could ruin her daughter's life as a Lawson.
"Oh, I must've mistaken you for someone else. I thought you were my friend's daughter," Alexa reasoned. She forced a smile and added, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you." Linsey watched her closely. As she noticed the strained smile on Alexa's face, a chill crept up her spine. Something about this woman was unsettling.
"Is that so?" she asked, masking the suspicion in her eyes. "If you don't know, I'll just ask someone else." There was something in Alexa's gaze that made her uneasy.
Just as Linsey turned to leave, a rough, dry hand clamped around her wrist.

Alexa's hollow cheeks made her forced smile even more unsettling "Please, allowto take you there." Alexa paused briefly, then finally let go of Linsey's wrist, not wanting to raise too much suspicion.
Setting her cleaning tools aside, she turned and started walking ahead. "Follow me. The Lawson family banquet is about to begin. You wouldn't want to be late." For a moment, Linsey only watched as the woman walked forward. After a few seconds of hesitation, she followed.
