Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After (Linsey)

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Linsey, You've Really Changed

Joanna let out a shrill scream, the shock of the slap leaving her momentarily frozen.

Clutching her burning cheek, she glared at Linsey, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Linsey, how dare you slap me?" she spat, her voice trembling with fury.

Linsey's lips twisted into a cold, mocking smile, her eyes as frigid as her words. "Why wouldn't I dare? You asked for it. You wanted to apologize, didn't you? But one slap hardly satisfies my anger. Maybe a second one will."

With that, she raised her hand again, her gaze never leaving Joanna's face.

Felix, still reeling from the shock, finally snapped to attention. With a furious shout, he lunged forward, shoving Linsey aside. "That's enough! Linsey, don't go too far!"

As he wrapped his arms protectively around Joanna, his voice softened with concern as he murmured to her, trying to calm

her.

Linsey staggered back, regaining her balance with ease, her face indifferent.

She regarded them both with a detached, almost clinical gaze, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "This is going too far? Joanna herself said she wanted to apologize. Felix, are you deaf? If she really meant to apologize, she should just keep quiet and let me vent. All I did was slap her. How is that going too far? What I've done to her is nothing compared to what you two have done to me."

Her gaze turned bitter as she continued, "You're both nothing but despicable cheats. And one day, when the truth comes out, who will believe a word you say?"

Felix stood frozen, stunned by the barrage of accusations. He opened his mouth, but not a single word of defense came to him.

He held Joanna close, his arm wrapped protectively around her as his eyes narrowed at Linsey with a growing frustration. After a long, tense silence, he finally spoke, his voice laced with irritation. "Even if Joanna wanted to apologize, you shouldn't have slapped her. An apology is just that—an apology. You don't solve things with violence. You're acting like a wild animal!"

Linsey tilted her head slightly, her lips curling into a frosty smile. She flexed her wrist nonchalantly, the gesture sharp and deliberate. "I'll take that as a compliment," she replied coolly, her eyes locking onto his. "Since you think so highly of me, should I slap her a few more times to really live up to your glowing praise?"

Felix's mouth hung open, his shock evident as he stared at her, utterly unprepared for her mocking reply.

For a moment, he wondered if the woman standing before him was even the Linsey he once knew.

disbelief, her mind struggling to process the situation. She had taunted Linsey countless times before, but this- this was different. Linsey
