Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 417

"Brother, I’m calling to say that I’m going." Lindsey calmly spoke her mind.

This was a bit unexpected for Shaun. He lightly tapped his finger on his desk. "You know that they deliberately invited you. At this moment in time, their behavior is suspicious."

"I know." Lindsey pursed her lips. The scent of chicken soup seemed to linger in her nose. "But if we just get bullied like that, it doesn’t seem right to not retaliate."

Lindsey's voice was soft and she said this without any emotion, but Shaun had a strong feeling that she was in a very bad mood.

Three days passed by quickly. On the day of the reception, Lindsey wore a black dress and delicate makeup as she held Shaun's arm and walked to the designated floor for the S.P. Corporation’s reception at the Taj Hotel.

The reception had already started some time ago, but the two of them attracted almost everyone’s attention as soon as they showed up.

That was because the legendary Denarius had turned into a laughing stock overnight. Moreover, Lindsey's efforts for Denarius during this time were astronomical and the rumors with Shaun were enough to attract everyone’s attention.

Lindsey did not care about everyone’s prying eyes, or their scrutiny and doubt. She held her head high and had a faint smile on her face.

When she just walked in, she saw Ann who was not far away, holding a glass of wine with a meaningful smile on her face while looking at her.

Perhaps Ann really liked the color red, because this time, Ann also wore a bright red dress. The exposed areas of her body had bold tattoos. It was not a huge tattoo, but it looked more like a tangled branch of a flowering tree, faintly revealing a part of the whole picture, which matched her temperament and attracted curious eyes.

When their eyes met, Lindsey stared straight at Ann with an impeccable smile on her face. A moment later, Ann walked slowly towards her.

"Mrs. Guggenheim, it’s been a while!" After saying that, she suddenly recalled something and widened her eyes. She made a somewhat apologetic look and said, "No, I should call you Chairman Juhl instead."

Her voice was quite loud. The momentary silence caused by Lindsey and Shaun’s appearance was instantly broken by her voice.

The smile on Lindsey's face which did not reach her eyes became even colder. She reached out and slowly took the champagne from the waiter's hand, then took a sip.

Lindsey let go of Shaun’s arm and took a step forward, closing the distance between her and Ann. Her temperament changed completely as she smiled and said, “It’s just a title. I’m Mrs. Guggenheim as well as the Chairman of Denarius.”

Across from her, Ann placed her index finger on her lower lip and looked surprised. "I heard that Denarius was suspected of bribery and your assets are frozen. Even Mr. Guggenheim was arrested. Ms. Juhl, you must be very tired this time."

"I’m fine." Lindsey clenched her fingers that were holding the glass, but the smile on her face became wider. “Our conscience is clear. I believe that the law will be able to punish whoever is trying to put this on us. Denarius won’t fall just because of one small hiccup.”

Lindsey said this with confidence and the aura she exuded was like Zayn. The squint at the end was exactly the same as Zayn too.

The people in the room were not stupid. Everyone could hear that Lindsey was saying that someone was framing Denarius and she was confident that Denarius would get out of this.

Since Ann had already apologized, Shaun could no longer hold a grudge. He took a step forward and avoided her hand, then walked to Lindsey's side and whispered, "Come on, let’s go over there."

Lindsey nodded and the two walked side by side to the other end of the room.

"You really don’t know this woman from before?" Shaun asked Lindsey as he swirled the wine in his glass.

Lindsey shook her head with certainty. "I would’ve had an impression if I'd seen her face before. I always wondered why this woman was so malicious towards me and Zayn."

"No matter what, it's better to stay on guard." Shaun raised his eyes where Ann was and looked over. His eyes were cold.

"Okay. Don’t worry, Brother." Lindsey smiled at him, but she saw that Shaun's gaze was fixated on someone.

Lindsey followed his line of sight and saw Yvette and the man who was talking to her.

“Isn’t that the youngest son of the Moeller family? I think his name is Finn Moeller, right? Why is he in Atlantic City?” Lindsey withdrew her gaze and looked at Shaun in confusion.

Shaun's face was extremely glum as he looked at the smiling woman. His fingers clenched tightly. "Yes, that's Finn Moeller, the youngest son of the Moeller family."
