Chapter 512 You''re The


    Victim Here


    Linsey couldn''t help but feel a twisted sense of gratitude. Ironically, the nder against her had worked in her favor-drawing massive attention to her in record time.


    If not for the controversy, there was no way a designer like her would have gained this many online followers


    so quickly.


    The thought brought a subtle smile to her lips.


    Earlier, she had been too polite, too amodating in front of the Lawson siblings. That mistake had made her


    an easy target.


    But tonight had been an eye-opener.


    Being overly submissive only meant getting picked on.


    Though her expression remained calm, a steely determination flickered in her eyes.


    In stark contrast, Jeffery-usually soposed-was seething. His jaw tightened


    as he stared at Linsey, who bore a striking resemnce to him.


    Only now did he realize-she had never nned to let this slide.


    She had merely yed along, pretending to ept his check to lower his guard,


    all while keeping proof of his attempt to silence her.


    Well yed.


    In all his years, no woman had ever made a fool of him like this.


    Just as Jeffery was about to step forward and put an end to this, Carol-who had


    been screaming hysterically- suddenly froze.


    Her eyes widened, pupils turning unfocused.


    Her breath quickened in an instant. "Ahhh! Jeffery... I feel awful..... I...........”


    Panic flickered in Carol''s teary eyes as her wless makeup failed to mask the growing paleness of her face.


    Jeffery''s irritation vanished in an instant. His expression shifted to rm as he caught her sagging body. "Carol! Carol, what''s wrong?"


    She gasped, clutching her chest. "Jeffery... I-I can''t... breathe..."


    Jeffery''s heart clenched. He recognized the signs immediately. Carol was having a heart attack.

    "Move! Everyone move! Call an ambnce!" he barked.


    The room fell into stunned silence.


    Carol let out onest desperate gasp before her eyes rolled back, and she copsedpletely.


    Jeffery didn''t hesitate. Scooping her into his arms, he stormed out of the banquet hall, urgency in every step


    Chaos erupted in his wake.


    Linsey, still standing on stage, could only watch, stunned.


    Beside her, Millie murmured at just the right moment, "Carol has a congenital


    heart condition. It looks like she''s having an episode."


    Linsey''s chest tightened at the words.


    She turned toward the exit where Jeffery had disappeared, a flicker of concern crossing her face. "Will she be


    okay?"


    Had she just triggered a heart attack?


    A sudden wave of guilt crept in.


    But Millie, ever perceptive, quickly reassured her. "This isn''t your fault. You''re the victim here."


    Then, lowering her voice, she added, “Besides... I have a feeling there''s something off about Carol''s so-called heart condition. I''ll tell you more when I get the chance."


    With the Lawson siblings gone, the guests had no reason to stay. One by one, they filtered out, murmuring amongst themselves.


    Before long, the banquet hall was nearly empty, leaving only Linsey, Millie, Millie''s friends, and a few dazed hotel staff behind.
