Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 514

"Ms. Juhl." Ann frowned and spoke, "Why do you always have such a deep grudge against me?"

"Oh, do I?" Lindsey lifted her chin and did not look at Ann, so Ann could not see the expression on her face.

Before Ann could answer, Lindsey continued, "If you think so, then so be it. If you’re satisfied, will you please leave now?" Lindsey was annoyed at this couple, yet they still liked to flaunt in front of her, so they should not blame her for being rude.

Due to Zayn’s presence, even though Ann was infuriated with Lindsey, there was nothing she could do.

Next to Ann, Zayn watched as Lindsey dissed Ann and inexplicably felt a little delighted. He thought that he might be truly crazy. He just felt that the current Lindsey was like a kitten whose claws were harmless, yet she wanted to scratch others.

Ann looked at Zayn aggrievedly with some resentment, but Zayn completely ignored Ann and only looked at Lindsey. "Who said we're not buying anything?"

Lindsey looked at Zayn calmly and forcibly ignored the stinging pain in her heart. Her nicely drawn lips parted as she spat out a few words, "It’s not for sale!"

She knew that her current behavior was childish and even a little unreasonable, but if being magnanimous only made her unhappy, Lindsey would rather be reckless.

Lindsey was no saint, so she did not care for the people who hurt her.

She stood upright and glared at the couple. The atmosphere between the three of them was tense. The staff behind Lindsey all froze as they watched this scene and felt that working today was definitely worthwhile.

Just when everyone thought that Zayn would lose his temper, Zayn surprisingly laughed.

It was the kind of laugh that was very light and natural, like a subconscious response. It even carried some tolerance and infatuation, silent yet tangible.

Ann did not hear the sound of laughter but saw the employees of Hemera gasping collectively. Even Lindsey looked somewhat dumbfounded as she looked at Zayn.

Ann lifted her head and barely saw the expression on Zayn's face. By the time she looked over, Zayn's smile had already faded.

Hemera's employees were still looking at Zayn and Lindsey with shock until Zayn left. Lindsey just lowered her head and lost her fierceness. She did not look at Zayn and Ann, then went on to promote the products to other customers.

Ann just felt that she had missed something very important. However, having been treated like this by Lindsey plus the fact that Zayn had already left, it was just self-defeating for her to stay.

"Look, there is..." The pain in her heart became somewhat numb as Lindsey absentmindedly did a product demonstration to a customer. The corner of her eyes followed Zayn's departing back until his figure disappeared.

Lindsey only glanced at him to quench her heart’s desires.

Fortunately, Zayn and Ann only appeared once and did not show up again later. By the evening, their product launch became more crowded compared to noon, although it was still not as popular as Denarius' booth. Lindsey was so busy the entire day that she gradually forgot about those useless thoughts.

Shaun swept a glance at them and everyone suddenly fell silent. He did not announce this before because he wanted to wait until the project achieved certain results. He did not expect that the results were achieved much faster than anticipated.

Lindsey felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the crowd. That amount was from the shares and settlement after the divorce. Lindsey did not plan on using it at first and thought of keeping it for Dezi. She only decided to invest this sum because she trusted Shaun. However, looking at everyone’s reactions, it seemed like she invested a little too much.

She had a feeling that after today, she would be looked at differently in Hemera.

During this time, a lot of people privately speculated about her relationship with Shaun. After all, their previous scandal was all over town. Even if Lindsey heard it, she pretended not to notice.

After today, there would probably be another rumor about her in Hemera.

Lindsey rubbed her temples in frustration. After the meeting was over, Shaun asked Lindsey to stay back.

There were only three people left in the conference room, Shaun, his assistant, and Lindsey. Lindsey did not care about her image and slumped down in her chair. "Brother, my image in the company is about to change radically..."

Lindsey already knew what tomorrow's headlines would be in Hemera’s internal gossip channels. “Lindsey is not just a divorcee that ended up with another big shot, she also got a huge share of assets from her previous marriage!”

After that, Lindsey let out a melancholy sigh. "Why don't they believe that you're really my brother? Brother, will you please just get married already so that others will believe it?"
