Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

hapter 494 Did You Invite

Her

Jeffery smiled as he ruffled Carol's hair with indulgence.

"I didn't do anything," he said lightly, though the mere thought of that woman stealing from Carol filled himnoveldrama

"Did you invite her? Next time, don't let people like that attend our gatherings. It's not safe."

Carol chuckled. "Jeffery, Linsey only stole something. The way you're talking, you'd think she committed an

unforgivable crime,"

Despite her casual tone, a sense of satisfaction bloomed within her.

Linsey's reputation needed to be destroyed.

After a brief pause, Carol added, "Don't worry, Jeffery. I won't have anything to do with her anymore."

Jeffery nodded, then glanced at his watch. "The birthday party starts in ten minutes. Get some rest while I have someone double-check the schedule."

"Alright. Thanks, Jeffery," Carol said sweetly, her voice dripping with sugar. She watched as he walked away, a pleased smile stretching across her lips. Just then, Alexa approached and whispered, "Miss Lawson, about that surveillance video-"

"Enough! Carol's face darkened as she cut her off..

She quickly scanned the area to ensure no one was listening before lowering her voice. "You idiot. If you were framing Linsey, how could you not prepare properly? If I hadn't anticipated this and had a fake surveillance video made, how would you have covered it up?"

Alexa gave an awkward smile. "It's a good thing you stepped in. I never expected Linsey to be so sharp. She didn't fall for it at all."

Carol scoffed coldly. "Jeffery must've seen that you were useless, so he handled it himself. And look at that-he got rid of Linsey in no time. Saved us a lot of trouble."

Alexa's expression flickered with unease..

She still couldn't wrap her head around why Jeffery had acted so swiftly to get Linsey out of the picture.

The only explanation was that he adored Carol.

But deep inside, Alexa knew something Jeffery didn't—the woman he had so easily ordered to be caught was his biological sister.

Chapter 494 Did You Invite Her

How would he react if he ever found out the truth?

That thought sent a chill down Alexa's spine.

No. This secret could never come to light. She had to do whatever it took to secure Carol's place in the Lawson

family

Growing impatient with Alexa's silence, Carol was about to snap at her when a cold voice sliced through the air

"Carol, that surveillance video was faked by you, wasn't it?"

Carol's heart clenched, a jolt of fear shooting through her. She looked up to see

Millie approaching her face unreadable, flanked by her friends.

The sight of them made Carol's expression stiffen.

Not these pests again!

And Millie had openly defended Linsey in front of everyone earlier.

What was she doing here now?

Carol clenched her jaw and met Millie's gaze head-on. "I don't know what you're talking about," she said

defiantly.
