NovelApexChapter 1307:
“I didn’t expect it either,” Cynthia replied cautiously, her voice barely audible above the murmur of the crowd.
“Joanna... what do we do now?”
The event had drawn a host of influential guests, including the rarely seen president of CR Corporation himself.
This was supposed to be Cynthia's big moment, her opportunity to shine. But in her eagerness to sabotage
Linsey, she had followed Joanna's instructions and staged the loss of the design drafts.
To everyone's shock, Linsey had recovered effortlessly and was now preparing to take the spotlight—leaving
Cynthia bitter and fuming.
Joanna's eyes narrowed as she shot Cynthia a glare. “Don’t rush me. I'm working on something.”
Cynthia said nothing more, choosing to wait in silence.
After a brief pause, a new idea seemed to dawn on Joanna. She leaned in close, whispering hurried instructions
into Cynthia's ear.
Cynthia's eyes widened in alarm. “Are you sure about this?”
“Absolutely,” Joanna replied with conviction, waving her hand dismissively. “Go now—before more people show
up.”

With obvious reluctance but no courage to refuse, Cynthia gave a nod and slipped away to carry out the plan.
Meanwhile, Linsey had grown visibly impatient with Felix.
“The event's starting,” she said curtly. “I'm due on stage for the presentation. If that’s all, I'll be on my way.”
But just as she turned, Felix reached out and grabbed her arm. “Wait,” he said urgently. “There's something |
need to ask you.”
Linsey yanked her arm free, her eyes flashing. “If you have something to say, say it—but don’t touch me.”
Felix quickly retracted his hand, schooling his expression. “It’s about my mother. Lately, she hasn't had much of
an appetite. | was wondering if you could... maybe cby and make her sof your soup? Just to see if it
helps.”
Linsey stared at him, dumbfounded. “Have you completely lost your mind?” she snapped, her contempt plain.
“Did every cook and maid in the city disappear overnight? What gives you the right to askfor that?”

But Felix didn’t seem to recognize the absurdity of his request. “You used to make soup for her when she wasn’t
feeling well. | know we've broken up, but... can’t you just helpout? It's a small thing. Won't take much time.”
Linsey let out a humorless laugh. “Sure. If you pay me.”
“How much will it cost?” Felix inquired.
“$10 million,” Linsey blurted out.
“What?” Felix’'s eyes widened in disbelief. “Is making soup really that expensive? Are you scamming me?”
Linsey smirked, knowing he would
balk at the price. 1% {Rinkeyou \dan

“Hold on!” Felix reached for her arm again.
Before he could say more, a figure appeared nearby.
