Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161 He’ll Protect

Me

Unfazed by the scar–faced man’s menacing threats, Linsey grew bolder.

With an impassive expression, she retorted, “The Wade family holds considerable sway in Grester. I’m just an ordinary person; naturally, I wouldn’t dare to cross them. But if you think you can harm anyone here, don’t expect me to stand idly

by.”

Linsey paused, then added forcefully, “Let me be clear–I’m not making threats. If you’re willing to face the repercussions of escalating this situation, then be my guest. You’ll only be giving me more ammunition to use against you.”

“You little bitch! Let me…” The scar–faced man, consumed by rage, lunged towards Linsey.

Witnessing this, one of his lackeys frantically grabbed his arm, his face pale with fear. “Hold on, boss! We need to stay calm!” he pleaded.

Already furious, the scar–faced man spun around and slapped the lackey hard. “You idiot! How dare you stop me? Do you

have a death wish?” he roared.

The lackey yelped in pain, clutching his head. “Boss, we need to keep this under wraps, or we’re screwed!”

The scar–faced man knew this all too well. Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down, though his anger still

simmered beneath the surface.

The lackey cautiously gauged his boss’s expression before suggesting, “Maybe we should back off for now and come up with a different plan. Linsey and Collin can’t be here every day.”

“Fine,” the scar–faced man spat, his voice dripping with malice. Before leaving, he shot Linsey a venomous glare. “This isn’t over. Next time I see you, you’ll regret this!”

Linsey dismissed his threats. Watching them finally depart from the orphanage, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She hurried over and firmly shut the orphanage door.

She initially thought that given their aggressive demeanor, her words wouldn’t be enough to deter them.

She turned to Collin with a smile. “After all, my husband is here. He’ll protect me,” she said.

Collin’s lips curved into a slight smile. He reached out and took her hand, his grip firm. Turning to Ella, he promised, “Ella,

don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to Linsey.”

Seeing the sincerity in Collin’s eyes, Ella felt some of her anxiety dissipate.

Linsey glanced at the closed door. “Ella, we can’t just sit here and do nothing. Now that those thugs are gone, we need to

call the police before they come back.”

Ella sighed, her expression troubled. “It won’t do any good. I’ve called the police before, but they didn’t lift a finger. I even

tried contacting the media, but the reporters were all paid off. Nothing ever came of it.”
