Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After (Linsey)

Chapter 1266:

No argument from Collin would sway her this time; her resolve stood firm. Attending Kylee’s birthday celebration simply wasn’t happening—not unless Collin intended to physically force her out the door.

Determination set her jaw as she dropped onto the sofa again, phone in hand. She found the group chat buzzing with more than a hundred new notifications in barely ten minutes.

Worries and desperate requests from her coworkers filled the screen, each one urging her to step up and lead.

Thoughts swirled in Linsey’s head as she weighed her next move. Her breakup with Felix had severed every remaining connection between them. Truth be told, Felix’s company owed its meteoric rise to her dedication and sacrifice during those years. Nearly every success, especially the entire Fashion Design Department, traced back to Linsey’s vision and labor. Watching Felix and Joanna claim her home was bad enough—she refused to let them destroy the one department she had built from scratch.

The phone trembled in her grip as Linsey steadied her breath, determination settling in. Just as she made up her mind to head back to the office, a new obstacle appeared.

With Collin’s need for control hovering over everything, getting his approval would be the next hurdle.
