Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Linsey, Why This Rush To Leave After a brief hesitation, Linsey answered the phone.
Marisol's voice filled the line. "Linsey, I've heard about Felix's actions. I never imagined he would do something so awful. I feel terribly guilty. Would it be possible forto meet with you today and apologize in person?" Linsey was surprised. She hadn't expected Marisol to contact her to apologize.
Before Linsey could reply, Marisol continued, "If you refuse to see me, I fear I'll be consumed by guilt and regret. We've known each other for so long, please, dothis small favor." Given Marisol's seniority and the genuine tone in her voice, Linsey felt obligated to agree.

Marisol's voice instantly lifted with delight. "Wonderful! Let's meet at that café we both like." The call concluded shortly thereafter.
Unbeknownst to Linsey, Marisol wasn't by herself. Seated beside her was Joanna. As Marisol ended the call, Joanna's anxiety was palpable.
"Marisol, what are you playing at? Weren't you supposed to convince Linsey to drop the charges against Felix? Why on earth did you say you wanted to apologize?" The sincerity that Marisol had previously displayed vanished, instantly replaced by a cold, calculating expression. She scoffed, saying, "If I had been direct, she would have never agreed. This was the only way to manipulate her into meeting me. Don't you worry. Once I have her face-to-face, I'll ensure she complies." Her tone oozed arrogance; she was utterly convinced she could easily manipulate someone like Linsey. Joanna breathed a sigh of relief. "That's a relief. Felix has been locked up for days now, I'm terrified something dreadful might happen to him." Witnessing Joanna's concern for Felix, Marisol sighed. "Joanna, you truly are the only one worthy of being my daughter-in-law. You've remained loyal through good times and bad, and you're the only one who genuinely cares for Felix." Marisol's voice hardened as she sneered, "I warned Felix before-Linsey comes from nothing, she has no connections, and her personality leaves much to be desired. She's utterly unsuitable for our family. Now he's finally learned his lesson. Once he's out, I'll ensure he marries you and gives you the grand wedding you deserve." Joanna's face beamed with delight, yet she retained her characteristically gentle and innocent facade, "You're so kind to me," she chirped.

Linsey had lost to her. Joanna was convinced that she would soon secure her position as Felix's wife and ascend to a coveted place within Grester's elite social circles.
Meanwhile, Linsey remained blissfully ignorant of the machinations swirling around her. She had no inkling that Joanna and Marisol were under the impression that she still cared for Felix.
