Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 556 Let Me Explain

Linsey remained by Myla's side the entire time, watching over her quietly.

Linsey couldn't help but feel perplexed by Jeffery's sudden health scare.

Though she had little fondness for him-arrogant and insufferable as he was- watching him get wheeled in and out for endless examinations stirred a flicker of sympathy in her heart.

While she was waiting, her phone suddenly rang.

Seeing Collin's name on the screen, she instinctively moved to a quieter corner of the corridor before answering

"Linsey, have you finished your meeting with the client? Did everything go as planned?" Collin's voice carried a

hint of concern.

Glancing toward Myla and Cruz, who stood not far away, Linsey was about to reply when she overheard a nearby patient stopping a doctor with a question.

Collin, ever sharp, immediately caught on. His voice tensed with urgency. "Linsey, are you at a hospital? Are you hurt? What happened?"

His worry deepened as he pressed further. "I sent two people to protect you-why didn't they report that you

were at the hospital?"

Realizing he had jumped to the wrong conclusion, Linsey quickly cut in. "No, Collin, I'm fine," she assured him.

With a helpless smile, she lowered her voice. "Let me explain."

Collin exhaled, his tone softening slightly. "Alright. Go ahead."

Linsey spoke gently. "I only found out after arriving at the restaurant that the so- called client I was meeting today was Jeffery's mother."

There was a brief silence before Collin's voice darkened. "The Lawson family again? Are they still pestering you?"

Linsey sighed. "Yes. I hadn't mentioned it before, but Jeffery called me two days ago. He was acting strangely, insisting that I contact our founder to help him out. I made it very clear that I've never even met the founder, yet for some reason, he believes I have the influence to sway his decisions. Honestly, I think he's giving me far too much credit."

Her words carried a touch of sarcasm since she was unaware that her own husband-Collin-was, in fact, the very founder Jeffery was so desperate to reach.

Collin, who had been planning to reveal the truth to Linsey at the upcoming annual gala, remained composed and didn't let anything slip.

"So, Mrs. Lawson lured you in with a supposed design collaboration, but in reality,

it was just another scheme for Jeffery to pressure you into helping him?" Collin deduced.

He had already turned down Jeffery's requests for a meeting twice, making CR Corporation's stance crystal

clear.

Yet, instead of backing off, Jeffery had gone so far as to involve his mother in an attempt to reach Linsey.

“Exactly. I blocked his number after his first call because he was becoming a nuisance. But today, he found another way to corner me, still insisting that I help him convince the founder to restore our partnership with

Lawson Group."

Linsey pressed her lips together before continuing. "I wasn't planning to entertain his request, but then Carol barged in. She's always held a grudge against me, and seeing me at the table with her family set her off. She lost control, and when Jeffery tried to stop her, she shoved him. He ended up crashing into a cabinet and getting injured-hence the hospital trip."

Hearing her explanation, Collin finally pieced everything together.
