Chapter 480 Who Dared Upset My Sister


    Carol sat stiffly, surrounded by people trying to console her Despite their efforts, her wlessly made-up face


    remained tense


    "Who exactly is this woman?" she asked, her voice cold and distant.


    Annie hesitated, biting her lip as she nced around for support. Finally, she spoke, her voice uncertain. "I haven''t seen her myself. It''s just rumors-maybe people are exaggerating..


    Before she could say more, the lounge door swung open.


    "Who dared upset my sister?" Jeffery''s voice carried a lighthearted edge, but when his eyesnded on Carol''s distressed expression, his demeanor shifted. His face hardened as he strode toward her. "Carol, what happened?" Immediately she saw him, the emotions she had been holding back broke free. Tears welled up in her eyes as she sobbed, "Jeffery!"


    Without hesitation, Jeffery pulled her into aforting embrace, gently patting her shoulder while his gaze swept over Carol''s friends.


    "Someone exin-what''s going on?" he demanded. His eyes briefly rested on the faint bruise en Annie''s shoulder. His voice dropped as he asked, "Did Carol hurt you? I''m sorry. Go take care of that first."


    Annie, touched by his concern, felt a flicker of warmth rece her earlier resentment. “It''s nothing, Mr. Lawson. I was out of line when I spoke to Carol."


    Jeffery''s expression shifted as he nced down at his still-crying sister. With a sigh, he turned his attention to the mess on the floor. "There''s water everywhere. Have someone clean it up before Carol slips."


    As if on cue, Alexa walked in to tidy up.


    "Carol, stop crying, or you''ll ruin your makeup. Just tell me what happened to upset you this much?" Jeffery said as he handed her a tissue and gently dabbed at her tears.


    Alexa, silently wiping the floor, couldn''t help but speak up. "Miss Lawson, whatever it is, just tell Mr. Lawson He''ll handle it for you."


    Carol sniffled and nced at her brother with grievance and frustration. "Annie said a woman at tonight''s birthday party looks just like you. People are saying she''s Dad''s illegitimate daughter!"


    The cup Alexa had just picked up slipped from her grasp, shattering against the floor. The sharp sound cut through the room, drawing everyone''s attention


    Startled, Carol snapped, "Be more careful! Didn''t they train you properly before you got this job?"

    Alexa quickly masked the flicker of guilt in her eyes and bowed her head. T''m so sorry, Miss Lawson I''ll be


    more careful "


    Carol''s words echoed in Alexa''s mind, and her thoughts immediately turned to Linsey


    From the first moment Alexa saw Linsey, she had noticed how much she resembled M


    Later, when she met Jeffery, the simrities between him and Linsey became impossible to ignore


    One thing was for sure; if M ever crossed paths with Linsey, she would ask questions. And when that happened, Carol would be in trouble.


    Jeffery barely reacted, his expression unreadable. Still, his tone was calm as he said, "Alright, Carol, it was just


    a mistake
