Chapter 550 You''re Even Sharper Than I Thought


    Linsey was curious about M''s reaction, but her face remained unreadable.


    Jeffery, however, noticed the subtle displeasure in his mother''s expression and begrudgingly held back any


    further harsh words.


    He understood that M clearly favored Linsey, and it wouldn''t be wise to provoke her unhappiness.


    At that moment, Cruz, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke. "Ms. Brooks, I understand your perspective. We invited you here today with sincerity, hoping you might be willing to assist us."


    Linsey turned her gaze to the famously stern chairman of Lawson Group.


    It was well known that he had gradually stepped back from thepanyst year, entrusting most affairs to Jeffery while traveling the world with his wife, M.


    He appeared to be a man deeply devoted to his wife, which left Linsey with a favorable impression of him.


    "Mr. Lawson, please go ahead," she said politely.


    Clearly, his previous statement had been iplete.


    As the chairman of Lawson Group, Cruz was undoubtedly moreposed and pragmatic than Jeffery, who had taken over midstream.


    Cruz gave a small nod and continued, "We didn''t arrange this meeting to unfairly ask you to persuade the founder to resume our partnership. Instead, we''ve prepared aprehensive proposal, which we hope to present directly to him."


    Linsey furrowed her brow slightly. "Mr. Lawson, it''s not that I don''t want to help. But since joining CR Corporation, I''ve never had the opportunity to meet the founder. If you wish to present your n, you should approach someone closer to them."


    Jeffery''s eyes flickered upon realization. "Linsey, do you know Dustin Wade? He''s the public face of CR Corporation."


    A few days ago, when he had visited CR Corporation in search of Collin, it was Dustin who had met him.


    At the time, Jeffery had subtly probed him, suggesting that Linsey might be the reason CR Corporation had severed ties with Lawson Group.


    And Dustin hadn''t denied it.


    This implied that, at the very least, Dustin knew Linsey well.


    However, there was also the possibility that Dustin had merely used Linsey as a convenient excuse.

    Dustin? Several thoughts shed through Linsey''s mind in those few seconds.


    Why was Jeffery suddenly bringing him up?


    She was well aware that Dustin was the public face of CR Corporation, but she failed to see what he had to do


    with today''s discussion.


    Maintaining herposure, she replied evenly, "Mr. Wade is one of the key figures in ourpany. What exactly are you implying, Mr. Lawson?"


    Jeffery studied her for a long moment before a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. "Linsey, you''re even sharper than I thought. You always speak with such precision. You never answer directly yet leave no room for anyone to challenge you."


    Linsey''s expression remained neutral. "I only answered as truthfully as I could. As an employee of CR Corporation, of course, I know Mr. Wade."


    "You know that''s not what I meant," Jeffery said, his voiceced with curiosity as his gaze locked onto hers, searching for any reaction.
