Chapter 447
447:
Linsey smiled, shaking her head. “Everything’s fine. You all should get back to work.”
“Alright, alright.”
Seeing Linsey back, the colleagues who had been gossiping quickly scattered, diving into their work.
After taking a few days off, Linsey found herself buried under a mountain of tasks.
By the time she finished, the sky had already darkened. She hurried home.
As soon as she stepped into the living room, she noticed Collin’s assistant handing him an invitation to a banquet.
“You’re back early today?” Collin looked up at her immediately.
Linsey walked over, took a seat beside him, and gently placed her hand on his arm. “Of course, I was worried about you. How’s your recovery going?”
Collin gave a reassuring smile. “It’s been fine, no pain for a while now. You don’t need to worry.”
After a moment, he asked, “Are you hungry? Dinner should be ready. Let’s eat together.”
Linsey nodded, then her eyes fell on the invitation in his hand.
With a hint of curiosity, she asked, “Another event to attend?”
Collin smiled and replied, “It’s a banquet.”
Linsey frowned. “You’re still recovering. Can’t you skip this one?”
Collin held her hand and grinned. “It’s an important one. You’ll need to come with me.”

Linsey blinked. “Me? Why is it so important?” She took the invitation from him, opened it, and gasped. “Wait… this is an invitation to the Lawson family banquet?”
“Why on earth would the prestigious Lawson family invite you to their grand banquet?” Linsey exclaimed, her brow arching in disbelief.
The Lawson family stood at the pinnacle of Grester’s elite, their name echoing with power and prestige, demanding respect wherever it was spoken. Despite their recent retreat from the public eye, their business ventures thrived, growing steadily. Their reach stretched beyond the local borders of Grester, cementing their status as a formidable force nationwide.
Linsey, having caught wind of the upcoming Lawson family banquet, knew it would be nothing short of spectacular, with the elite of the elite on the guest list. She had overheard snippets of conversation earlier that day at her office, learning that the founder of CR Corporation would be attending, alongside his wife. The image of the opulent gathering was easy for her to conjure—filled with glittering lights and echoing laughter, a true spectacle of wealth and power.
It was precisely because she understood the magnitude of such an event that Linsey found the invitation to Collin so perplexing.
Catching the puzzled expression etched deeper into her features, Collin let out a soft chuckle, his eyes twinkling with mirth as he teased, “What’s the matter? Don’t you have faith in your husband’s capabilities?”
Linsey hadn’t anticipated his humor in such a grave moment. Her cheeks tinged with a soft rose as surprise flickered across her face, prompting her to playfully smack his arm.
“Ouch…” Collin sucked in a sharp breath, jolting Linsey just as she was readying a sharp comeback.
