Chapter 304 You''ve Completely Ruined My.......


    Kristy narrowed her eyes at Linsey, a flicker of disquiet shadowing her features as she probed, "Your husband? Who is he?"


    Linsey''s serene facade didn''t waver, amplifying Kristy''s unease.


    Could it be that Linsey had wed into a family of considerable influence and wealth?


    Beth, ever the instigator, seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. With a sly grin, she interjected, "Kristy, you won''t believe this-Linsey''s husband is none other than Collin Riley, the so-called disgrace of the Riley dynasty."


    A scornfulugh escaped Kristy''s lips as her eyes slid contemptuously over Linsey.


    "Oh, so you''re married to Collin Riley? The pariah of the Rileys, confined to a wheelchair-how utterly pathetic."


    "Enough!" Linsey''s voice cut through the air, icy and sharp. Her usual calm was shattered, reced by a stormy re.


    Kristy was undeterred. Instead, her confidence swelled. She leaned in, her voice dripping with contempt.


    "Seriously, Linsey? Just because you''re Collin''s wife, you think you can look down on me? Marrying a cripple like Collin is


    surely a fate worse than being the trophy wife of some decrepit tycoon. Perhaps those old men might prove more useful


    than your husband."


    Her mocking tone echoed around them, and with a smug look, she turned to the onlookers, seeking theirplicity.


    "Don''t you all agree?" Herughter rang out, tinged with malice, as she awaited their affirmation.


    Kristy exuded an aura of power and wealth, a testament to her affluent roots and her husband''s immense fortune.


    She reveled in her ability to openly mock others without fear of reproach, her sharp tongue slicing through the room''s


    decorum.


    The gathered crowd, cowed by her formidable presence, could only muster strained, awkward chuckles in feeble agreement.


    Beth, however, dove into her sycophancy with eagerness, herughter overly loud and forced. "Oh, Kristy, you really do


    have a way with words!" she gushed, her voice dripping with feigned admiration.


    Kristy''s lips curled into a smug smirk, her eyes twinkling with malice. She turned her venomous attention to Linsey, whose


    face was a canvas of growing fury. "What''s with that re, Linsey? I''m only looking out for you," she stated, her voice


    sharp as a knife. "Why don''t you head home tonight and divorce that poor excuse of a husband? Who knows, I might even


    find someone-"


    Her words were abruptly cut off as Linsey, pushed beyond her limits, spilled wine all over Kristy.


    The crimson liquid sshed across Kristy''s face, slowly dripping down and staining hervish gown.


    The room erupted in a collective gasp, the sound reverberating off the walls.


    As the reality of the ruined dress set in, Kristy''s shock gave way to outrage.
