Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After (Linsey)

Chapter 1116:

Beneath it, Dustin had just taken a step toward Jeffery—unwittingly placing himself directly under the dangling weight.

Joanne’s pupils dilated in horror as the chandelier dipped lower, the angle unnatural, its golden arms tilting downward like claws ready to strike. Then came a metallic creak. The chandelier seemed on the verge of plummeting, poised to crush both Dustin and Jeffery.

Joanne and Hester cried out at once, their voices overlapping in panic. “Jeffery!” “Dustin!”

Both women surged forward, but in the chaos, Joanne’s elbow collided with Hester’s shoulder.

Hester stumbled backward and fell to the floor, her heels slipping helplessly against the polished tiles.

As the crowd erupted into disarray, gasps and shouts rising in waves, Hester remained on the floor, stunned. She watched as Joanne—without hesitation—ran straight toward Jeffery. Not Dustin. The realization hit like a slap.

Not far away, Alicia and Dolores were startled by the commotion behind them. Instinctively, Alicia turned to look—only to be stopped by Linsey’s outstretched arm.
