Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

hapter 517 I Won't Let Anything Happen To You

Collin's voice was calm yet firm. "I originally partnered with Lawson Group because I respected the Lawson family's long-standing reputation for discretion. For over two decades, they maintained a low profile, and the Lawsons devoted themselves to charity work. I agreed to work with them out of genuine regard for their values."

Frowning, he continued, "Though Carol is arrogant, I assumed Jeffery would at least reflect some of those principles. But in the end, he's nothing more than a self-important fool who believes the world should cater to

him."

Dustin let out a sigh of resignation. "I recall that a few years ago, Jeffery actually had a solid reputation. But somewhere along the way, he changed. Lately, he's become unbearably arrogant."

A thoughtful expression crossed his face. "Do you think Carol's influence turned him into this? She's always been the spoiled, domineering type."

Collin didn't argue. Instead, he nodded slightly. "Spending years around someone like her would inevitably leave a mark. But that's not my concern."

He adopted a defiant tone. "The real issue here is simple-whether it's $2 billion or $20 billion, we won't flinch.

The real question is whether the Lawsons will actually see a dime of it."

Collin's eyes darkened, carrying an unmistakable edge. The sight sent a shiver through Dustin, reminding him of something he had nearly forgotten-before marrying Linsey, Collin was feared for his ruthless decisiveness.

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Dustin asked, "Are you planning something else?"

Collin didn't bother explaining. "Just do as I said."

Dustin didn't press further, but one thing was clear-the Lawson family was doomed.

Of all the people they could have provoked, they had chosen Linsey.

Shaking his head, Dustin almost pitied them.

Meanwhile, Jeffery remained oblivious to Collin's next move. He sat by Carol's hospital bed, watching over her with unwavering attention.

"Jeffery, my chest hurts so much... Am I dying?" Carol clutched her heart, her

voice weak, her expression one of pure distress.

Jeffery immediately reassured her, "No, don't think like that. I'll bring in the best doctors-I won't let anything happen to you."

My happen to you

Hearing his gentle words, Carol felt a fleeting sense of security.

But then, something clicked in her mind.

When Linsey stood on that stage earlier, she had exposed Jeffery's attempt to bribe her in front of everyone.

That alone proved how much Jeffery cared-he had done all of that for her.

And it also confirmed that Alexa had, indeed, acted under Jeffery's orders.

But none of that mattered compared to the humiliation she had suffered tonight! The more she thought about it, the more her anger festered. “Jeffery, what do we do? Linsey had the audacity to livestream my party! How could she stoop so low?"

Tears brimmed in her eyes, threatening to spill over.

Choking back a sob, she whimpered, "Today was supposed to be my birthday, and she completely ruined it! If I had known this would happen, I never would have extended her an invitation."

Jeffery gently wiped the tears from her face, his expression hardening, "Carol, why did you invite Linsey? From what I know, she doesn't come from any notable family in town."
