Offering no room for doubt, Joanne continued, «If you want Dolores to marry Dustin without a hitch, I’m your answer. I haven’t known Hester long, but I already understand her inside and out. If I step in, Dolores will earn Hester’s blessing in no time. That means Hester won’t be breathing down Dustin’s neck anymore, either.»

Realization struck Linsey hard. Joanne wasn’t just negotiating—she was issuing a threat.

Jaw clenched, Linsey murmured, «And if I refuse?»

Amusement danced in Joanne’s eyes as she laughed. «Then I’ll stick to Hester like glue and make sure I’m always by Dustin’s side.»

Feigning innocence, she let out a theatrical gasp and teased, «Don’t tell me you’re as naive as Dolores. If I hadn’t been covering for them, do you really think Hester wouldn’t have caught on to their secret meetings by now?»

Silent and breathless, Linsey struggled for words, finding herself trapped by Joanne’s cunning.

A subtle shift in Linsey’s face didn’t escape Joanne, who got straight to the point. «Relax, I’m not going to ask you to do anything unforgivable. All I need is for you to help me bump into Jeffery a little more often.»

Tension radiated from Linsey’s clenched fists as she tried once again to talk Joanne out of her scheme. «Let me say it one more time, Joanne—Jeffery is already someone else’s husband!»

«You mean Alicia?!» Joanne blurted out, the name snapping something inside her as anger twisted her features.

Shock rippled through Linsey at the sudden outburst.

Fixing Linsey with a fierce, unblinking stare, Joanne continued, «Do you have any idea what Alicia did to get here? Jeffery deserves better than her.»

Emotions boiling over, Joanne paused only to steady her breath before launching into her story. «I dug into everything this afternoon. Three years ago, when Jeffery’s blood disorder nearly killed him and the Lawson family had lost hope, Alicia appeared out of nowhere and offered to help—but only if they paid her $50 million upfront. She wouldn’t even sign the bone marrow agreement until the money landed in her account.»

For a fleeting moment, Linsey’s composure cracked, surprise registering before she carefully schooled her features.

No part of her expected that Jeffery’s life had been saved under such circumstances.

«So what happened after that?» Linsey asked, curiosity finally winning out as she kept her tone steady and reserved.

Hatred narrowed Joanne’s eyes as she responded, her words bitter and fast. «Alicia’s a master manipulator—she’d do anything for wealth and power. She waited until the Lawsons had their backs against the wall before making her demands.»

Each sentence only fueled her anger, eyes growing colder. «Even after pocketing all that money, she still wanted more. She refused to leave Jeffery’s side after the surgery, and played her part so well that he doesn’t see through her at all!»

A bitter sigh escaped Joanne’s lips, venom dripping from every word as she hissed, «The child Alicia’s carrying is probably the result of some despicable scheme!»
