Chapter 552 Is Linsey Your


    Secret Child


    Jeffery was caught off guard.


    He had been observing Carol''s unpredictable actions over thest few days and knew he had to intervene.


    Determined, Jeffery quickly stepped up and took hold of Carol''s arm.


    "Carol, let''s calm down. Maybe it''s best we head home. I''lle with you."


    "Get away from me!" Carolshed out, breaking free from Jeffery''s grasp. She yelled, "You know how much I despise Linsey! And yet, you, along with Mom and Dad, invite her over for dinner today! What''s this about? Are you recing me? Do you prefer Linsey as your daughter and sister?"


    "Carol, stop talking such nonsense!" Cruz scolded her sharply. He then instructed Jeffery, "Take her home, now!"


    "I refuse!" Carol''s voice grew ragged and fierce, as though she might scream until she was voiceless. "You


    didn''t even search for me when I didn''te homest night. Yet here you are, enjoying your time with Linsey!


    Am I no longer your daughter? Do you even acknowledge me as such?"


    As Carol''s usations escted, Jeffery''s face became grave, and he tried to embrace her firmly. "Carol, you''re


    mistaken. We don''t feel that way. We only met with Linsey today to discuss saving thepany."


    Carol burst into hystericalughter. "Lies! All lies! Do you think Linsey holds so much power?"


    In a moment of breakdown, she turned to her father and demanded, "Tell me! Is Linsey your secret child? Why


    else does she bear such a resemnce to Jeffery? Speak up!"


    Shock and anger shed across Cruz''s face, his expression darkening suddenly. "You brat! What utter rubbish


    are you yelling?"


    Cruz had always thought of himself as more lenient with Carol than with Jeffery during their upbringing.


    It was beyond his imagination that, upon his and his wife''s return to the country, their daughter would hurl


    such usations at him.


    M was equally shocked by Carol''s im.


    How could Carol suggest that Linsey was Cruz''s illegitimate child? Such a notion was preposterous.


    Taken aback, M instinctively took Linsey''s hand in hers, whispering reassurances. “Don''t worry, Linsey,


    everything will be alright."


    Linsey seemed disconnected from the ongoing dispute. She nced down at her


    hand in M''s, feeling an inexplicable reluctance to release it.


    What an odd sensation-why did she feel this way?.
