Chapter 40 How Much Did

You Hear

Could Collin be connected to CR Corporation?

Linsey was still processing the shock when the study door suddenly opened.

Collin’s subordinate stood at the entrance, momentarily startled at the sight of her. “Mrs. Riley?”

Seated at his desk, Collin immediately noticed her as well. His expression shifted slightly, and his deep voice cut through

the silence. “Why are you here?”

Linsey’s heart raced. She hadn’t caught the full details of their conversation, but she couldn’t deny that she had overheard

them.

Collin’s subordinate glanced at him, then wisely stepped aside and slipped out of the room without another word.

Linsey lifted the shopping bag in her hand and forced a casual tone. “I got you something at the mall. Did you forget?”

Collin frowned. How could he refuse her when she had gone to the mall just to buy him a gift? After a brief pause, he

sighed and said, “Come in and close the door.”

Linsey shut the door and walked toward him.

Just as she was about to hand him the bag, he asked, “When did you get here?”

Linsey hesitated, caught off guard. She met his deep gaze and blurted out, “Not long ago…‘

Collin studied her intently. “How much did you hear?”

He had been discussing matters related to CR Corporation with his subordinate. If she had heard everything, she would find

out that he was the mysterious founder of CR Corporation.

Linsey thought back to the fragments of conversation she had caught. Curiosity sparked in her eyes.

“I heard you mention CR Corporation, but not the details.” She tilted her head slightly. “Collin, do you have business

dealings with them?”

Collin didn’t answer and instead asked, “What do you think?”

Linsey blinked, caught off guard. Her first instinct had been to connect him to the mysterious founder of CR Corporation.

But then, logic pushed the thought aside. CR Corporation had been expanding aggressively in Grester. If Collin was really capable of building such a powerhouse from the ground up, how could he have been abandoned at the wedding by his

bride?

The idea felt improbable She dismissed it and considered another possibility instead.

The thought that all the hard–earned money she made from CR Corporation would eventually funnel right back to it left her feeling defeated.

But she quickly shook off the gloom and turned her attention to Collin.

She wanted to ask why he owed CR Corporation such an enormous sum but decided against it. The last thing she wanted was to upset him.

Instead, she forced a smile and changed the subject. “Collin, let’s not think about that for now. Why don’t you try on what 1 just bought for you?”

She placed the bag on his lap.

Collin’s expression softened slightly. He opened the bag and pulled out a set of men’s clothing, his brow arching in mild surprise.

Linsey nudged him encouragingly. “Come on. Try it on.”

But Collin remained seated in his wheelchair, unmoving.

Puzzled, Linsey frowned. “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you changing? You don’t like it?”

Collin let out a small chuckle and asked in an amused tone, “Are you just going to stand there and watch me change?”
