Chapter 521 Why Don''t


    You Just Die


    Disbelief painted Carol''s face as she clutched Jeffery''s hand tightly, her voiceden with urgency. "This can''t be real! There''s no way! Jeffery, you must find another exnation for why Mr. Riley scrapped our deal-it surely can''t be because of Linsey! She doesn''t wield that kind of influence!"


    Jeffery''s brow creased. "Are you suggesting that CR Corporation backed out due to our own internalplications?"


    His expression turned icy as he slowly pulled his hand away. "Even though I haven''t reached Dad''s level ofpetence, I haven''t let thepany falter to such a degree under my watch. Do you really have such little faith in me, Carol?"


    A look of desperation appeared on Carol''s face. "No, Jeffery, you''ve misunderstood me."


    Jeffery felt his annoyance bubble up. Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he managed to keep his voice even,


    saying, "Carol, you should rest. I must r to the office now."

    The sudden end of the partnership with CR Corporation was a severe setback for the Lawson Group.


    He had to act fast.


    Before Carol could react, Jeffery was already on his feet and out the door.


    The door to the hospital room closed with a soft click, and the warmth on Carol''s face was immediately reced by a venomous re.


    "Damn you, Linsey! Why does it always have to be her? Always her!"


    Meanwhile, Alexa had been vigntly standing outside for a while. At the sound of Carol''s shout, she hurriedly opened the door. "Miss Lawson, is everything alright?"


    As soon as Carolid eyes on her, rage contorted her features. She snatched a ss from the table and threw it at Alexa without hesitation.


    Alexa recoiled, caught by surprise. She barely managed to shield herself in time.


    The impact of the ss was brutal, striking Alexa''s forehead and fingers with forceful pain, causing her to groan softly under her breath.


    "This is all your fault, you useless idiot!" Carol screamed,pletely losing control. "If you had kept a better eye on Linsey, my n wouldn''t have failed! This is all on you! You''re apletely useless trash! Why don''t you just die?"


    Alexa stood motionless at those harsh words.

    She looked at Carol, her face a mask of shock and pain. It was unimaginable to her that her own daughter would wish her dead.


    With a heavy heart, Alexa dropped her gaze and remained quiet, overwhelmed by numbness.


    Unbeknownst to Carol, Alexa was grappling with a terminal illness. She was indeed facing death, but Carol was unaware that she was actually her real mother.


    Meanwhile, as turmoil unfolded in Carol''s hospital room, the Inte was in an uproar


    Following the announcement by CR Corporation of their severed ties with the Lawson Group, the intemunity erupted with theories andments.


    "Can anyone exin what''s going on? This coboration was barely off the ground, and now it''s over?"


    "It looks like CR pulled the plug on their own."


    "Tonight, the Lawson Group seems to be in panic mode, desperately trying to understand the fallout. They''ve been reaching out to CR, but there''s been no response."


    "Wow, getting dropped by CR must be a massive blow to Lawson Group. The impact goes way beyond just


    financial damage."


    "Apparently, CR Corporation has already paid Lawson Group two billion aspensation, with an additional five million as part of a secondary agreement.”


    "That five million... Why does that amount sound so familiar?"
