NovelOnlineChapter 512 Chapter 512 You're The Victim Here Linsey couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of gratitude. Ironically, the slander against her had worked in her favor-drawing massive attention to her in record time.
If not for the controversy, there was no way a designer like her would have gained this many online followers so quickly.
The thought brought a subtle smile to her lips.
Earlier, she had been too polite, too accommodating in front of the Lawson siblings. That mistake had made her an easy target.
But tonight had been an eye-opener.
Being overly submissive only meant getting picked on.

In stark contrast, Jeffery-usually so composed-was seething. His jaw tightened as he stared at Linsey, who bore a striking resemblance to him.
Only now did he realize-she had never planned to let this slide.
She had merely played along, pretending to accept his check to lower his guard, all while keeping proof of his attempt to silence her.
Well played.
In all his years, no woman had ever made a fool of him like this.
Just as Jeffery was about to step forward and put an end to this, Carol-who had been screaming hysterically- suddenly froze.
Her eyes widened, pupils turning unfocused.

Beside her, Millie murmured at just the right moment, "Carol has a congenital heart condition. It looks like she's having an episode." Linsey's chest tightened at the words.
She turned toward the exit where Jeffery had disappeared, a flicker of concern crossing her face. "Will she be okay?" Had she just triggered a heart attack? A sudden wave of guilt crept in.
But Millie, ever perceptive, quickly reassured her. "This isn't your fault. You're the victim here."
Then, lowering her voice, she added, “Besides... I have a feeling there's something off about carol's so-called heart condition. I'll tell you more when I get the chance."
With the Lawson siblings gone, the guests had no reason to stay one by one, they filtered out, murmuring amongst themselves.
Before long, the banquet hall was nearly empty, leaving only Linsey Millie, Millie's friends, and a few En dazed hotel staff behind. Recommended for you BOUND BY LOVE: Bound By Love: Marrying My Dis...
