"Miss Lawson..." She hesitated before speaking. “The birthday party is about to start. You should go ahead and prepare." Carol withdrew her foot instantly, as if she had lost interest, standing with a casual, almost indifferent posture. Alexa's gaze dropped to Linsey's injured hand, and for a brief moment, she froze.
Linsey instinctively pulled her hand back, but the wound on her arm made every movement slow and excruciating.

For a moment, her gaze turned hollow. She cradled her injured hand against her chest, her breathing uneven. A single tear escaped her eye, landing silently on her bloodied skin.
Carol let out a pleased hum. "You're right. I should get going." She turned away, humming a lighthearted tune as if nothing had happened. "Stay here and watch her. I'll be back after the party." "Yes, Miss Lawson," Alexa murmured, lowering her head.

You're here because you angered Miss Lawson." Linsey turned her head back toward Alexa, her piercing gaze unwavering. "Then tellhow did I anger Carol?"
She didn't wait for an answer.
Instead, she went on, her voice slow and deliberate, as if piecing together a puzzle aloud. "The first tmet Carol was at the Lawson family banquet. At first, we only bumped into each other-an accident. She's spoiled and temperamental, so she lashed out at me. That, I could understand. But everything changed when she saw the invitation in my hand. That's when she started to hate me."
Her voice softened as she asked the real question lingering in her mind. "Is there something about the Lawson En family's invitation that I don't know?" She thought back to that night. Because of an accident, she had sprained her ankle and never got the chance to ask Collin about it.
