Chapter 580
580:
“Linsey! I just heard people talking about what happened at Carol Lawson’s birthday party! Are you okay? Were you badly hurt? Where are you right now?”
Linsey chuckled at Dolores’s rapid-fire questions. “Slow down, Dolores. I’ll answer everything one at a time.”
Dolores let out a heavy sigh, though the worry remained in her voice. “How can I not be anxious with everything that’s happened? Tell me, how are you?”
“It’s nothing serious—just a minor injury. I’ve been resting at home for a few days,” Linsey reassured her without hesitation.
Dolores clenched her jaw. “That damn Carol! I knew she was up to no good.” She sighed regretfully. “I’ve been so busy that I haven’t kept up with the news online. I only just saw the replay of your livestream from that night.”
Linsey’s voice softened. “It’s okay, Dolores. We talk every day, remember? If something serious had happened, I would’ve told you.” After a brief pause, she added sincerely, “I know you’ve been swamped, so I didn’t want to burden you.”
Dolores let out an exasperated sigh. “You always sound so cheerful when we text—I can’t tell how you really feel.”
“You’re one to talk! You always act happy, too. If I hadn’t noticed you replying slower than usual, I wouldn’t have realized how busy you were. We’re both pretty good at hiding things, aren’t we?” Linsey laughed softly.
Since they were speaking on the phone, Linsey couldn’t see the flicker of sadness in Dolores’s voice. Dolores quickly changed the subject. “By the way, have you seen the news lately?”
Linsey raised an eyebrow. “Not really. After that livestream, I was bombarded with messages—some supportive, some not. I didn’t want them to affect my mood, so I stayed off social media.”
Dolores immediately spoke up. “Something big happened! I only just found out myself.”

Linsey’s curiosity was piqued. “Oh? What is it?”
Dolores hesitated, feigning suspense. “It involves you, too.”
Linsey pouted playfully. “Dolores, if you don’t tell me right now, I’m looking it up myself.”
Dolores chuckled, always ready with a tease. “CR Corporation and Lawson Group have officially terminated their contract.”
Linsey barely blinked. “I already knew about that.”
Dolores wasn’t finished. “But did you know CR Corporation is now working with Burke Group?” she asked slowly, emphasizing each word.
That caught Linsey off guard. Her eyes widened. “Wait, what? Since when?”
CR Corporation and Burke Group? How had that happened? Burke Group was Millie’s family business, wasn’t it.
