Chapter 435

Chapter 436 Chapter 436 Why Are We Taking The Stairs In an instant, Alexa realized that Linsey was the real daughter of the Lawson family, the very child she had secretly switched all those years ago.

Alexa's pulse quickened. She took a shaky breath and demanded, "Who are you?"

Linsey caught the flicker of emotions crossing Alexa's face-shock, fear, then something almost menacing, it was unsettling.

Frowning, she instinctively stepped back. "I'm just a guest at the Lawson family banquet. Is there a problem? Her gaze settled on the middle-aged woman before her, and she continued, "Just now... you said, "It's me again." What did you mean by that? Have we met before?"

Linsey studied Alexa carefully. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't place her.

So why did this woman look at her as if she had just seen a ghost?

Alexa, however, remembered Linsey perfectly, even if Linsey had no idea who she was.

Not long ago, Alexa had been diagnosed with cancer. The day she picked up her test results, she had unexpectedly run into Linsey.

And now, here she was again, at the Lawson family's banquet, where every single member of the family was gathered.

Alexa's expression darkened. She couldn't let Linsey meet them.

If they saw her face, everything would unravel.

With time slipping through her fingers, Alexa was determined to take this secret to the grave. No one, especially not Linsey, could ruin her daughter's life as a Lawson.

"Oh, I must've mistaken you for someone else. I thought you were my friend's daughter," Alexa reasoned. She forced a smile and added, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you."

Linsey watched her closely. As she noticed the strained smile on Alexa's face, a chill crept up her spine.

Something about this woman was unsettling.

“Is that so?” she asked, masking the suspicion in her eyes. “If you don't know, I'll just ask someone else."

There was something in Alexa's gaze that made her uneasy.

Just as Linsey turned to leave, a rough, dry hand clamped around her wrist.
