DreameNovelChapter 429 Chapter 429 It's Been A While, Mr. Riley After finishing work, Linsey stopped by a nearby beauty salon to change into her evening gown and apply a touch of refined yet understated makeup.
Once she was ready, she glanced at her reflection in the mirror, feeling reasonably content with her appearance. Earlier that afternoon, she had been feeling unwell, and her complexion had looked rather dull.
Now, with a bit of makeup, she finally appeared refreshed and composed.
Attending the banquet looking as drained as she had earlier would have been far from appropriate.
Satisfied with her final look, Linsey gathered the hem of her gown and stepped into the car, setting off for the Lawson family's banquet.
Half an hour later, she noticed they had barely moved and were still near CR Corporation.

The traffic was completely gridlocked.
"Mrs. Riley, we've been stuck in the sspot for quite stime," the driver said with a hint of frustration. "At this rate, I'm not sure we'll make it to the banquet on time..." Linsey's voice remained calm. "It's alright, just drive carefully. Safety comes first." It was rush hour, so heavy traffic was to be expected.
Just then, her phone rang, and she quickly picked up.
"Linsey, are you close?" Collin's voice was warm and gentle.
A smile played on Linsey's lips. "Not yet. I'm caught in traffic, so I might be a little late. If you arrive before me, don't wait-just head inside." Collin frowned slightly on the other end, clearly concerned. "Do you wantto cget you?" After a brief pause, his voice softened with regret. "I should've waited for you near your office earlier." Linsey chuckled lightly, her tone reassuring. "Even if you did, it wouldn't change the traffic situation. You' ist end up stuck here with me. No need to worry about it." Collin sighed, feeling a tinge of disappointment.
As the founder of CR Corporation, he had the power to arrange for a clear route.

Linsey nodded. "Go on in first. If you run into any influential guests, take the chance to connect with them. You gavean invitation, so I'll have no trouble getting in later." Her words made Collin chuckle.

What Linsey didn't realize was that the most powerful figure atthis m banquet was, fact, her husband.

His lips curled into a smile. "I heard you." Since she insisted, he had no choice but to follow her advice and head inside first.
After he ended the call, Collin's warm expression faded, replaced by his usual composed and authoritative demeanor.
He stepped out of the car, his mere presence drawing the attention of those nearby.
Guests whispered among themselves, wondering who he was. Just then, another tall figure confidently approached him.
The sight of the newcomer left the crowd even more intrigued.
