Chapter 567:
“This is all your fault, you useless idiot!” Carol screamed, her control slipping. “If you had kept a better eye on Linsey, my plan wouldn’t have failed. You’re worthless trash! Why don’t you just die?”
Alexa stood motionless at those harsh words. She met Carol’s gaze, her face a mask of shock and pain. It was unimaginable that her own daughter would wish her dead. With a heavy heart, Alexa dropped her eyes and remained silent, overwhelmed by numbness.
Unbeknownst to Carol, Alexa was grappling with a terminal illness. She was indeed facing death, but Carol had no idea that Alexa was actually her biological mother.
Meanwhile, as turmoil unfolded in Carol’s hospital room, the internet erupted. Following CR Corporation’s announcement of their severed ties with Lawson Group, online communities flooded with theories and comments:
“Can anyone explain what’s going on? This collaboration was barely off the ground, and now it’s over?”
“It looks like CR pulled the plug on their own.”
“Tonight, 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 as compensation, with an additional five million as part of a secondary agreement.”
“That five million… Why does that amount sound so familiar?”
“With both events happening so close together tonight, it’s hard not to see a connection.”
“Let’s be real—CR Corporation’s move was obviously to stand up for their designer, Linsey. She went through so much at Carol’s birthday party. And on top of that, the amount Jeffery demanded from Linsey as compensation was five million.”
“Wow, what an incredible company and an even more amazing boss. I wish I could work at CR Corporation.”
“Come on, be serious. Do you think the founder of CR Corporation would spend over two billion—plus five million—just for you?”
“Ahhh! I ship them. It proves the CR founder has feelings for Linsey!”
“What? Wasn’t there a rumor that the CR founder is already married? And Linsey is also married. What kind of gossip is this?”
