HappyNovelChapter 301 Chapter 301 Kristy's Here After another round of mindless chatter, Linsey maintained a polite smile, though her attention was elsewhere. She kept glancing around the room, searching for any sign of Shari.
Was she not here yet? Just then, a former classmate approached, holding up a drink with a wide grin. "Linsey, it's been years! We have to share a drink to make up for lost time." Despite the fact that Collin was often dismissed as a powerless, disabled man in Grester, he was still part of the Riley family.
By marrying him, Linsey had secured a position in elite circles, her social standing now far beyond that of her former classmates.

Linsey easily saw through their motives. She curved her lips into a polite smile, though it lacked any real warmth. "My husband warnednot to drink before I left. My stomach's been acting up, and if I chsmelling like alcohol, he'll definitely givea lecture." One of her former classmates grinned and teased, "Sounds like you two are really close." "Yeah, just look at how she lights up when she talks about him!" someone else chimed in.
At the mention of Collin, Linsey's expression softened, her smile turning sincere. "He takes really good care of me." The conversation flowed easily, full of light laughter and casual chatter.
But across the room, Beth watched the exchange with narrowed eyes, her mood darkening with each passing second.
Linsey, of all people, had to show up dressed like she was attending a gala. Was that really necessary for a reunion? The second she walked in, all eyes were on her.
Now, half the room was crowded around her, hanging onto her every word. It was unbearable.
Back in college, Linsey had been nothing special-plain, forgettable. She had never once stood out, never once overshadowed Beth.
And yet, here she was, basking in all the attention. All because she married into wealth.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd to a man in a wheelchair, no less! If Beth's husband had a disability, she would have done everything in her power to keep it quiet.
Yet Linsey paraded her life around without the slightest hint of shame.
The more Beth dwelled on it, the more annoyed she became. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and strode forward, her lips curling into a smirk.

Her husband is just as wealthy, but she does witanever she wants. That's what real power looks like." At the mention of Kristy Wagner, the room buzzed with interest "Oh yeah, isn't Kristy coming tonight? Didn't she win campus belle back in the day?""
"Not just the campus belle-she was born into wealth. And then she went and marned someone ever richer! I even heard her husband has connections to the founder of CR Corporation" "Ugh, talk about unfair. She's beautiful, she's rich, and she managed to dimb even higher Speople just have everything handed to them." Just then, a voice rang out from the hallway. "Kristy's here!" In an instant, the group surrounding Linsey scattered, rushing toward the entrance like moths to a flame.
Linsey was curious about Kristy too, but by the tshe made her way over, the doorway was already packed with people
Beth, who had been watching Linsey, let out a scornful laugh. "See that? Kristy is the real deal. She's the one people actually care about."
She folded her arms, tilting her head mockingly. "You must be m disappointed. Linsey. You went through all that effort to marry into wealth-even settled for a cripple-yet you still can't compete with Kristy. Letgive you a little advice: no matter what you do, you'll never be on her level. So why bother trying?" 100.0% 01:40
