Chapter 438 She Wouldn''t Just Vanish Into Thin Air


    Linsey caught herself just in time. She threw out a hand to brace against the wall before she could hit the floor. She drew in a sharp breath, ignoring the sting in her foot, and lifted her head.


    The cleaningdy was gone.


    Linsey''s frown deepened.


    The woman had spoken in riddles and acted strangely. And now, she had vanished without a trace.


    What was she hiding?


    Linsey had a feeling that this woman''s secret was tangled up with her in a way she couldn''t yet understand.


    Otherwise, why had the cleaningdy tried to hurt her the moment they met?


    Meanwhile, the Lawson family''s banquet was in full swing.


    As the event officially began, Jeffery stepped onto the stage.


    "Everyone, wee to our banquet."


    As he spoke, he gave a practiced smile, the kind that held just the right amount of charm to capture a room. Eyes followed him, especially those of the young women scattered throughout the crowd.


    "As you all know, it''s been years since we hosted a public gathering. Tonight, wee together under the name of Lawson Group to share an important announcement," Jeffery continued.


    A flicker of intrigue passed through the audience. Jeffery let the moment linger, the corners of his mouth pulling into a knowing smile.


    "What could be so important that the Lawson family would go through all this trouble and make such a grand announcement?" someone whispered.


    "You think it has anything to do with that man Jeffery personally weed earlier?"


    "Could be. No one knows who he is yet."


    As anticipation swelled, Jeffery''s smile widened. Raising his voice just enough tomand the room, he dered in a steady tone, "From today onward, we''re officially partnering with CR Corporation."


    Excitement rippled through the crowd.


    "CR Corporation? No way!"


    "Lawson Group just secured a deal with the most powerfulpany in town!"

    "So this whole banquet was just to announce the partnership?"


    "If that''s the case, then they must really see this as a big deal."


    "Big? It''s CR Corporation we''re talking about. Companies would do anything for a partnership like this!"


    "Do you think the founder of CR Corporation is here tonight?"


    "I''d love to finally see what he looks like! No media outlet has ever managed to get a picture of him all these


    years."


    Jeffery let the excitement settle before continuing, "In half an hour, we will hold an official signing ceremony. We invite everyone to witness this historic moment with us."


    "Official signing ceremony? So the founder really is here?"


    "Shh! I heard a rumor-he is. And not just that, he''s nning to introduce his wife publicly for the first time."


    "If that''s true, that''s-wow. That''s something else."


    "Exactly! We''re talking about the founder of CR Corporation-a billionaire and one


    of the most powerful figures in town. Whoever his wife is, she must be extraordinary."


    "I can''t wait to find out!"


    With the announcement made, Jeffery stepped off the stage with practiced ease and headed toward a private room at the back of the banquet hall.


    Inside, Collin paced restlessly, phone in hand, his expression tense.


    Nearby, Dustin, who was also attending the Lawson family''s banquet, offered a


    calm reassurance. "Come on, Collin, don''t stress. Linsey is an adult. She wouldn''t just vanish into thin air. She''ll turn up soon enough."
