“Of course. You’ll get what’s due to you,” Collin responded, his eyebrows raised in amusement. He paused for a brief moment, then asked, “By the way, how did you come across Jeffery? After all, a collaboration with the Lawson family was no small feat.”

Dustin shot Collin a knowing look and seized the chance to tease him. “You’ve been buried in work for years, and lately, it’s all about your wife. You haven’t exactly kept up with the latest gossip.”

Collin returned his gaze steadily. “Get to the point.”

Dustin smirked but didn’t push further. “Jeffery has a younger sister. She’s been doted on since the day she was born. Unfortunately, she has a congenital heart condition. As her brother, Jeffery would do anything to find a cure for her.”

Dustin stroked his chin, curiosity sparking in his eyes. “Jeffery’s quite the looker. Almost as much as me. That family must have some strong genes. I can’t wait to see his sister. Bet she’s a stunner. What do you think, Collin?”

Collin barely spared him a glance. “I’m not interested in other women.”

Dustin let out a chuckle and shook his head. “Oh, I knew it. Your heart belongs only to your dear wife.”

At the mention of Linsey, Collin’s expression softened into a quiet smile. Then, as if a thought struck him, he frowned. He placed a hand on Dustin’s shoulder. “Now that I think about it, when I saw Jeffery earlier, something about him felt familiar. He resembles Linsey a little, especially the eyes.”

Dustin blinked in surprise and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. The more he considered it, the more intriguing it became. “You’re right! Now that you mention it, there is a resemblance. Their eyes are nearly identical!” He shot Collin a playful look and continued, “Linsey was raised in an orphanage. What if she’s the Lawson family’s long-lost illegitimate daughter? I mean, how else do you explain the similarity?”

Collin remained unconvinced. “You’re letting your imagination run wild again. We both know that Cruz and his wife have always been devoted to each other. There’s no way he would have a child with another woman.”

He let the words settle before fixing Dustin with a steady look. “We just sealed a deal with the Lawson family. Watch what you say. The last thing we need is trouble.”

Dustin’s expression turned serious, and he fell silent. His words had been nothing more than a joke. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t dare say them in front of Jeffery. They let the topic drop.

“All right. Let’s focus on our collaboration with the Lawson family,” said Collin.

Dustin nodded and brushed aside the earlier conversation. Collin didn’t dwell on it either. After all, the world was full of look-alikes. The resemblance between Linsey and Jeffery could very well be just a coincidence. Maybe Jeffery simply took after his sister more.

And everyone in Grester knew the Lawsons had only two children—Jeffery and his sister. There was no long-lost child. Linsey had nothing to do with the Lawson family.

Meanwhile, Linsey returned to her company, clutching Gorman’s wedding dress sketches. Once inside, she immediately focused on bringing them to life. Each sketch was intricate, with delicate details that required careful attention.

Once she finalized the design, she intended to use the exquisite materials Gorman had provided to craft the actual wedding gown. Linsey worked diligently until the end of the day.

Just then, her phone rang. An unfamiliar number flashed on the screen. Keeping her eyes fixed on the sketches, Linsey answered the call.
