"What's happening?" "Wait-there's more?!" As murmurs filled the room, several figures emerged from the shadows, striding toward the stage.

She lunged forward, ready to drag Linsey off the stage, but Millie's people quickly moved to block her path.
Jeffery, still restraining Carol, cast a cold, piercing glare at Linsey. His voice was sharp and laced with anger. "Linsey, you've got snerve." Linsey had taken his check, yet now she dared to expose everything in front of everyone.
Linsey met his cutting gaze without a trace of fear. Instead, she reached into her pocket and pulled out the check.
Her voice rang clear through the microphone. "Mr. Lawson, are you talking about this check? The one you tried to use to silence me?"
A poised smile played on her lips.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lawson. I keep my word. You gavetwo choices, remember? I'm choosing the second one."
She held the check up for everyone to see. "And as for this five-million-dollar check, I'll return it to you right here, in front of all these witnesses. That way, no one can say I took your money without delivering on a deal."
