A former Best Actress, Sh mastered the art of concealing emotions.
Despite her surprise, her tone remained asposed as ever.
“Mr.
Lee’s generosity ismendable.
If my eyes serve me right, this bag is the customized version of a world-renowned brand, worth at least a million.
”
Lindsey retrieved the notebook, jotting down, “I’ll dispose of this notebook after our meeting.
Can you shed light on your current situation? Why was Andrew monitoring you?”
Since encountering Andrew andter meeting Sh, Lindsey sensed an unsettling air.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.
Sh’s demeanor—-timid, watchful-contradicted the extravagance of a wealthy Lady.
Sh’s excessive caution and reticence, akin to someone held captive, strengthened Lindsey’s suspicions.
As each piece fell into ce, culminating in the discovery of the micro bug, Lindsey’s belief in her conjecture solidified.
Sh had been monitored by Andrew.
She had been stripped of her life and liberty.
Staring at the determined young woman before her, Sh marveled at her profound insight.
Despite her apparent youth, Lindsey’s acumen was razor-sharp.
Sh’s gaze toward Lindsey underwent a transformation.

However, the radiant confidence she once exuded in front of cameras had dimmed, tarnished by the tumultuous journey Life had imposed upon her.
Even her stunning beauty lost its luster amid the mncholic aura surrounding her, evoking a surge of empathy within Lindsey.
Lindsey yearned toprehend the unfathomable experiences that burdened Sh’s soul.
Sh stopped flinching.
She sat upright, pen in hand, and inscribed in the notebook, “Lindsey,
right? You’re really awesome.
You’re the first person in years who has genuinely connected with me.
”
Sliding the notebook to Lindsey, Sh smiled and remarked, “Miss Stewart, your taste is impable.
This bag was a bespoke gift from my husband on our anniversary.
He insisted I carry it whenever I ventured out, a symbol of his unwavering love for me.
”
“Mr.
Lee adores you immensely.
I envy you,”
Lindsey echoed as she perused the notebook’s contents before jotting down another query.
“Why do you say that?”
A touch of sorrow shadowed Sh’s eyes as she swiftly wrote, “Since marrying Andrew, he has incessantly surveilled me, exhibiting an almost aberrant craving for control and possession.
He confiscated my phone, isting me from everyone.
Eventually, I couldn’t bear it.
I sought to flee with my child, confiding in my best friend in secrecy.
Yet, Andrew was privy to every private conversation we had.
He was furious and—”
Sh rolled up her sleeves, revealing shocking bruises that drew an astonished gasp from Lindsey.
The once-revered actress stood before her, marked by the signs of abuse.
Lindsey mouthed the question, “Did he abuse you?”
Sh nodded subtly.
Her pallidplexion reddened around the nose, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes.
“It has been five years… since he took control of me and abused me.
