Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After (Linsey)

Chapter 1130:

As they carried on bantering, almost oblivious to everyone else, Joanne stood there, practically shaking with frustration. “How long are you two planning to go on joking around like this?”

Her tone sharpened as she pulled out her phone. “Fine. If you’ve decided to risk Dolores’ reputation, don’t blame me. With one word, I can have my team release a flood of dirt on her. By tomorrow morning, Davidson Group’s stock will be in free fall.”

But before she could tap her screen, Collin, who had been silent until now, finally spoke in a voice as calm as it was threatening. “Go ahead.
