Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Why Should I Apologize

Linsey didn’t miss a beat. “It’s straightforward, really. You and Joanna need to hold another livestream, or maybe even a full–blown press conference–whatever it takes. The point is, I expect a public apology from both of you. And of course, there’s the matter of that compensation you mentioned earlier. I’ll be requiring that as well. Let’s call it emotional distress

compensation.”

Marisol’s carefully constructed facade almost crumbled. Her lips tightened into a thin line. “Compensation? I thought you

weren’t interested in money?”

Linsey let out a soft laugh. “Did I say that? You’re swimming in money, aren’t you? I’m confident you can come up with a

suitably generous offer.”

Marisol closed her eyes briefly, her voice raspy with suppressed fury. “The money, fine. But a public apology? Absolutely

not.”

A public apology would be tantamount to admitting that Linsey’s accusations were true.

The situation was already a dumpster fire, but Marisol clung desperately to the last shred of her dignity.

“Oh,” Linsey replied flatly. “Well then, I suppose we’re done here.”

Linsey hung up the phone so abruptly that Marisol was left speechless.

“Hello? Linsey? Linsey!” Marisol sputtered into the dead phone.

Marisol was utterly blindsided. She hadn’t expected Linsey to simply hang up on her like that. Fury surged through her.

She had meticulously planned every step, yet somehow, Linsey had managed to outmaneuver her.

Not only had she failed to get Felix out, but her own carefully crafted image was now hanging by a thread!

Frustration gnawed at her as Marisol paced restlessly.

As if things weren’t bad enough, Joanna waltzed in, completely oblivious to the thick tension in the air. “Well? Did it work?

Did Linsey agree to delete the evidence?”

Marisol whirled around to confront Joanna.

“How can you say that? You’re the one who told me you hated Linsey and promised I’d be the one to marry Felix. That’s

why I stuck by him! How can you pin all the blame on me now?” Joanna retorted.

Marisol, shaking with rage, pointed a finger at Joanna and snapped, “Enough! No more excuses. I demand that you publicly apologize to Linsey and admit you’re the one at fault! Or you’ll be sorry!”

“Why should I apologize?” Joanna retorted defiantly. “You meddling old hag! If you hadn’t gone after Linsey, she wouldn’t have spilled the beans. This is all your doing!”

Joanna had put up with so much over the years, all to gain Marisol’s approval.

Joanna believed that by helping save Felix, she could become the Wells family’s savior and finally secure her place within

the family. But she never imagined she would be treated like this!

Enraged, Joanna lunged at Marisol, her eyes burning with malice. Without a moment’s hesitation, she slapped Marisol

across the face.

Marisol gasped in shock, completely stunned that Joanna had dared to strike her.

In an instant, the two women were locked in a fierce physical altercation…
