Chapter 534
534:
Millie cast a pointed glance at the bodyguards Alexa had brought along, then suddenly gasped. “Oh! I see what’s happening here. You’re trying to gang up on a woman, huh? Unbelievable. I never thought I’d witness such shameless behavior from the Lawson family’s staff.”
Her words struck like a whip, making Alexa’s face flush with anger. “Please, don’t say that. We—”
Millie had no patience for excuses. “Enough. Just call your supervisor. If you can’t, we’ll go straight to Jeffery.”
“Exactly! What’s the holdup? As guests at this party, don’t we have the right to ask the Lawson family’s staff to handle something properly?” one of Millie’s friends cut in.
“The event hasn’t even started yet. Just get someone in charge to deal with this.”
“I agree! If I were the one being falsely accused of theft, I wouldn’t stand for such nonsense either.”
One by one, Millie’s friends backed her up, leaving Alexa with no room to argue.
Linsey’s lips curled into a smirk. She had only brought Millie into the conversation to deflect pressure, never expecting her to be this outspoken—or so eager to stand up for her.
Then it clicked.
Earlier, when Millie and her friends had approached her, their words had carried a clear distaste for Carol.
That must be part of the reason Millie was willing to step in now.
With Millie and her friends in her corner, Linsey felt even more at ease.
Linsey lifted her chin slightly and repeated, coldly, “Call your supervisor. I’d like to see if there’s anyone in the Lawson family who actually knows how to communicate.”

Meanwhile, in the lounge, Carol remained focused on perfecting every last detail of her outfit.
Suddenly, one of her friends, checking her phone, let out a shocked gasp. “Oh my gosh! You won’t believe this!”
Carol frowned in annoyance. “What happened?”
“There’s been a theft at the party!”
Carol, seated at the vanity, narrowed her eyes. “Someone dared to cause trouble at my event?”
“Carol, look at this video. Someone secretly recorded it.”
Carol turned and took the phone handed to her. As the video played, Alexa’s shrill, hysterical screams filled the air. The chaotic shouting made Carol’s expression twist with disdain.
How had Jeffery ended up hiring such an unrefined servant? Her behavior was a complete disgrace to the Lawson family’s image.
If Alexa weren’t under Jeffery’s orders to keep an eye on Linsey, Carol would have fired her ages ago.
Then, Carol’s expression shifted again. In the blurry footage, she spotted a familiar dress.
Carol had personally arranged for that dress to be sent to her. There was no mistaking it.
So Alexa was accusing Linsey of theft?
Carol’s voice remained calm, but there was a dangerous edge to it. “What exactly was stolen?”
Her friend hesitated before answering. “I heard it was the necklace Jeffery planned to give you. And that servant causing all this commotion… wasn’t she the one your brother sent out earlier?”
Carol understood immediately.
