Once she had taken her seat, Linsey glanced at their faces—each of them watching her intently with quiet concern—and finally let out a long, weary sigh.

Linsey hesitated briefly before speaking in a measured tone. “I just crossed paths with Jeffery. It wasn’t meant to be a big deal, but I had no idea he was married. And then Joanne actually asked me to help her sabotage his marriage…”

She went on to share a quick summary of the encounter.

Dustin absorbed the story and then burst into a loud chuckle. “I knew Joanne wasn’t into me! This is perfect! I’ll head home and tell my mom to get Joanne off my back. No more wasting time faking a relationship with her.”

Dolores gave Dustin a light smack on the arm, chiding, “Is that really what you’re focused on right now? Just shut up!”

Clearly, Joanne’s words to Linsey had stunned Dolores as well. After a brief pause, Dolores said softly, “But Jeffery getting married so discreetly? I’ve been in Grester for years and never caught wind of it.”

Dustin immediately chimed in, “Yeah, I haven’t heard a single thing about it either. The Lawson family has been remarkably tight-lipped over the past few years, keeping everything under wraps without even the faintest rumor slipping out. It’s honestly quite peculiar and makes you wonder what’s going on behind the scenes…”

Gorman noticed the slight crease in Linsey’s brow and spoke up to ease her mind. “Joanne doesn’t have the power to pull off anything major. She was probably just probing to see if you would go along with her scheme. Don’t stress over it.”

“Exactly, Linsey,” Dolores chimed in. “Joanne sneered at Alicia for her humble roots, but by that logic, Joanne’s just a stand-in for Haven in the Walton family, with no real sway. Plus, Jeffery doesn’t even recall who she is. Anything she tries will only make him like her less.”

Linsey’s unease lingered, especially as her gaze fell on the bracelet Joanne had given her.

Pointing to the small box, she said to Dustin, “Please return this to her, and make sure to repay her for the food and supplements she has brought over. I don’t want to owe her anything.”

Dolores laughed lightly and nudged Dustin. “You heard Linsey. Get moving.”

“Got it. I’ll even toss in some extra to cover her trouble, so she can’t hold anything over you, Linsey,” Dustin said with a nod, standing to relay instructions to his team outside.

Linsey sighed. “I’ve been trying to puzzle out Joanne’s intentions for days, and now that I know, I’m even more on edge. The way she spoke was just… unsettling.”

Dolores gave Linsey’s shoulder a reassuring pat. «It’s alright. Joanne’s not capable of much. If you’re concerned, just give Jeffery a heads-up. The Lawson family may have lost some ground these past couple of years, but they’re not about to let Joanne push them around.»

«Every time Jeffery’s involved, things go south for me. I need to steer clear of the Lawson family from now on,» Linsey said, shaking her head with a resigned air.

At that, Dolores’ expression shifted, as if recalling something significant. She said pointedly, «Jeffery knows you’re back in town. He might not act on it, but the Lawsons? That’s another matter… Four years ago, they were desperate to get on your good side. Now that they know you’re here, who’s to say they won’t try to reach out again?»
