Chapter 519

 519:
Carol maintained her calm demeanor.
She was probably the only one who knew the secret—that Linsey was actually married to the founder of CR Corporation.
She chose to keep this information to herself for now.
Revealing it could lead Linsey to connect the dots.
Knowing her husband’s true identity could make Linsey even more resistant to a separation.
After a brief thought, Carol asked again, “Think about it—has Linsey been unusually close to any men lately?”
Alexa paused, caught off-guard. “Miss Lawson, are you implying Linsey might be unfaithful? Could the child not belong to her husband?”
Carol said with certainty, not dismissing the possibility, “From what I understand, her husband doesn’t care for her. It’s very possible that the child isn’t his.”
This left Alexa even more taken aback.
She frowned, thoughtfully going over everything she had noticed while secretly trailing Linsey.
A moment later, she slowly shook her head in denial.
“Linsey spends most of her time handling her duties at CR Corporation. She rarely goes out, traveling straight from work to home. I haven’t seen her getting close to any men,” Alexa said.
Carol felt a pang of disappointment. “Linsey’s husband doesn’t care about her at all. Something’s definitely off about this child. Think it over again—maybe you’ve missed a clue.”
Noticing Carol’s displeasure, Alexa grew anxious.
In front of her daughter, she had no room for mistakes. Making sure Carol was satisfied was her top priority.

Her mind raced until suddenly, a thought struck her.
“Oh! Miss Lawson, during my investigation, I found out that Linsey had a fiancé she was deeply in love with for years—Felix, the son of the Wells family. But for some reason, on the day of her wedding, she abandoned him and married someone else instead.”
She hesitated before adding, “Do you think she might still have feelings for Felix? Maybe marrying someone else was just her way of getting back at him.”
A spark of interest lit up Carol’s eyes. She tapped her fingers thoughtfully. “That’s entirely possible. If she was in love with Felix Wells, there’s a good chance the child she’s carrying is his.”
A triumphant smile spread across her lips. She turned to her bodyguard. “Find out where Felix is. He might be the key to bringing Linsey down completely.”
When Carol returned home with Alexa, they unexpectedly ran into Jeffery, who hadn’t gone out that day.
“Jeffery, you’re home? Didn’t you go to work?” Carol asked.
After hearing from Alexa about everything Jeffery had done for her, Carol was in a fantastic mood. She cheerfully ran up to her brother, linking her arm through his with a bright, affectionate smile.
Jeffery chuckled. “What, do you wish I worked all the time? Even I need a break sometimes.” Jeffery couldn’t help but smile as soon as he saw Carol.
Carol pouted playfully. “You’ve got me wrong, Jeffery. I actually wish you’d stay home every day so I could see you more.”
He tapped her nose fondly, amusement twinkling in his eyes.
They chatted and laughed for a while before Jeffery’s gaze shifted toward Alexa, who stood quietly nearby.
His first thought was of her supposed illness. Without thinking, he asked with concern, “Alexa, how have you been feeling lately?”
