Chapter 650:
Myla reacted with disbelief and turned to Collin, her voice filled with outrage. “Mr. Riley! This is outrageous! How could you do such a thing to Carol? She has her whole life ahead of her! Her hand is broken; how will she manage? We need to get her to a hospital now. Please let us go!”
Both Jeffery and Cruz were taken aback, unable to believe the extent of the CR Corporation founder’s cruelty in having Carol’s hand broken. They quickly formed a barrier around Carol, regarding Collin with hostility.
Due to his frail condition, Jeffery’s face was pallid, but his resolve did not waver. “Mr. Riley, there must be some misunderstanding. Why have you done this? Why harm Carol so grievously?”
Collin’s response was cold. “Misunderstanding? Carol abducted my wife, worsening an existing injury. There’s nothing more to discuss.”
“Your wife?” Jeffery stared at Collin in utter disbelief, his gaze shifting to Linsey, who stood a short distance away.
His eyes caught the bandage wrapped around her right hand.
A thought flashed through his mind—unbelievable, yet undeniable.
“You mean… Linsey is your wife?”
Collin didn’t hesitate. “Yes, she is my wife.”
Linsey’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. She lowered her gaze, her expression calm. However, deep inside, her emotions were a tangled mess.
Jeffery’s heart skipped a beat.
Linsey was the wife of CR Corporation’s founder.
And he—he had helped Carol humiliate her at the birthday party.
Taking a deep breath, Jeffery steadied himself. “Mr. Riley, did you cancel the cooperation with us because of what happened that night?”
Collin parted his lips to respond, but before he could speak, Linsey cut in, her voice devoid of emotion. “Isn’t it a bit late to ask that, Mr. Lawson? Everyone knows the Lawson Group lost its deal with CR Corporation due to internal problems. Why drag me into it? Isn’t that ridiculous?”
“You!” Jeffery’s face darkened, Linsey’s words striking a nerve. “Our company’s issues are minor. We’ll resolve them soon,” he retorted, trying to regain composure.
After a pause, his expression stiffened further. “I wasn’t aware of Carol’s plan to kidnap you today. I’m sorry, but Carol has already been punished. Her hand was broken.”
Linsey’s brows knitted together. “And you think that makes up for what she did? Do you even realize what your sister planned? She hired thugs to assault me. She set up a camera to publicly ruin my reputation.”
She took a moment before continuing, “I was lucky to escape today. But what about next time? Will you stand by and watch while someone else suffers the consequences of her cruelty?”
Jeffery opened his mouth but found no words. His expression froze.
Collin’s face darkened, his patience wearing thin. “I brought you here today to make one thing clear—Carol is going to prison. She has hurt Linsey time and time again, and this time, she won’t get away with it. She belongs behind bars for life.”
