Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After (Linsey)

Chapter 1128:

“If you’re so intent on protecting Dolores, then don’t end things with Joanne. That way, Dolores keeps her good name,” Hester sneered, sarcasm dripping from every word. “Didn’t you just say you could stay with Dolores forever, even without a wedding? Go ahead, give that a try—let’s see how Dolores feels about it.”

Stunned into silence, Dustin finally let out a weary sigh. “That’s not how I meant it, Mom.”

All the while, Joanne watched their quarrel unfold, lips curved in a triumphant smile. She donned an air of concern and spoke up, her tone unhurried. “There’s really no need to rush things. Maybe there’s another way to solve this.”

That possibility lit up both Hester’s and Dustin’s faces, a spark of hope flickering between them.

Curiosity piqued, Linsey turned her attention to Joanne, eager to hear what solution she might propose.

At that moment, Linsey caught the unmistakable shimmer of victory hiding behind Joanne’s gentle smile. A sudden jolt ran through her chest, the look reminding her of past manipulations she had seen before.

The realization made Linsey’s eyes go wide, suspicion growing—surely Joanne was gearing up for another clever plot.
