?Chapter 940:


    What none of them sawing, including Linsey herself, was that Gorman would throw himself into the chaos and take the fatal strike that had been meant for her.


    The image of the blood spreading across the floor of the bridal shop came rushing back, and Linsey’s heart ached as though it were happening all over again.


    She had never felt any fondness for Gorman—that much was true. Yet, even with that, she couldn’t ignore the fact that he had given his life to protect her.


    Whether it was to ensure her own safety or to avenge Gorman’s death, Linsey knew one thing for certain—she had to uncover the person truly responsible and make sure they paid the price.


    After a moment of silence, Linsey pulled out her phone and tapped on a file. She set it down gently on the table, and soon, Kylee’s voice began ying through the speaker.


    “It was Haven who told me to kill Linsey. She handed me the knife.


    And no one but her could’ve known the exact time Linsey would be at the bridal shop that day.”


    As the words echoed through the room, Haven’s eyes grew wide with disbelief.


    “That’s a lie! She’s making it all up!” Haven screamed, her voice cracking as she red at Linsey, her face twisted in outrage. “You’re framing me! You went as far as forging evidence just to trap me!”


    Haven’s shouting didn’t stop there. In the next breath, she sprang to her feet, pointing at Linsey with a trembling hand, her eyes wild and burning.


    “Linsey! I knew it! You’ve been plotting against me from the start! You’re still alive, aren’t you? I never told Kylee to kill you. It’s obvious you got tired of Gorman keeping you on a leash, so you used Kylee to get rid of him! You’re the one behind everything! You scheming, cold-hearted snake!”


    As Haven’s fury boiled over, Joanne, seated next to her, instinctively reached out to hold her back.

    But then, an idea slipped into Joanne’s mind as her eyesnded on Linsey’s face, which carried an eerie likeness to Jeffery’s.


    Something inside her whispered that there was more to their connection than anyone had let on.


    That one thought changed everything. Joanne quickly realized she could no longer afford to go after Linsey because of Haven.


    A wave of regret surged through Joanne as she pondered her past schemes against Linsey.


    By sheer luck, her ndestine moves had left no trace leading back to her.


    If Linsey truly had any link to Jeffrey, Joanne felt certain she could clear her name.


    She could not afford the slightest tarnish on her standing with Jeffrey, as it would unravel years of careful nning.


    Taking a deep breath, Joanne steadied herself, masking her unease. Unbeknownst to her, Collin had noticed the faint shift in her demeanor.


    Suspicion glinted in his eyes, and a wry smile tugged at his lips. He had long observed Joanne’s eager support for Haven, yet today she sat silent, as if deliberately distancing herself. The stark change in her behavior stood out sharply.


    Meanwhile, Haven’s usations fell t against Linsey’sposure. In a cool and detached voice, she said, “I never told you Gorman restricted my freedom, Haven.”


    Those words left Haven visibly thrown.


    The recording of Kylee’s pointed allegations against Haven was solid proof.


    With calm precision, Linsey disyed several photos.
