Chapter 595:
Linsey felt an unexpected warmth at the woman’s gentle tone and instinctively smiled. “Hello, Ms. Lawson. I’d be happy to. Would you like to discuss the details over the phone?”
Myla chuckled apologetically. “I just returned from abroad last night and I’m still adjusting to the time difference. Would you mind meeting in person? I’ve reserved a private room at a restaurant.”
“Of course. Just send me the address, and I’ll be there shortly.”
“Alright, thank you, Ms. Brooks.” Myla sent Linsey the restaurant location and the VIP room number.
After ending the call, Linsey hesitated. She had agreed too quickly without even verifying Myla’s identity. Strangely, something about Myla’s voice felt familiar. It was an odd feeling, one that made her instinctively trust her.
Still, caution was necessary. After a brief moment of thought, Linsey called Collin.
He picked up almost immediately. “Sweetheart, what’s up?”
Linsey spoke softly. “I’m about to meet a client, but I’ve never met her before. Can you send a couple of your men to accompany me?”
Without hesitation, Collin agreed. “Of course. I’ll arrange it now and have a car pick you up near your office.”
“Thank you, darling.” Linsey blew him a kiss over the phone.
Collin chuckled. “Be careful. And call me if anything happens. Also, that kiss doesn’t count—we’ll settle that tonight.”
Shortly after they hung up, Linsey received a text from Collin’s men. “Mrs. Riley, we’re waiting for you at the café entrance in the business park.”
After replying, she quickly gathered her things and left for the meeting.

At the restaurant, Linsey and her two escorts followed the waiter to the designated VIP room. As she pushed the door open, her eyes immediately landed on three people seated inside.
One of them was Jeffery—the same man she had spoken to on the phone just yesterday.
Her expression darkened instantly. Without a second thought, she turned on her heels to leave.
“Linsey! Wait!” Jeffery was startled by her reaction and quickly moved to block her exit.
He was too focused on her to notice that the two people sitting beside him—his parents—were equally stunned.
Before Jeffery could reach her, Linsey’s security detail stepped in, stopping him in his tracks. “Mr. Lawson, please step back.”
