Linsey faced Kylee, her expression unreadable. So you re the runaway bride from Collin s wedding?
That question left Kylee completely confused.
She remembered having some sort of arrangement with Collin, but there was never an actual wedding. Did this mean Collin had been married to someone else before Linsey? A flood of questions spun in Kylee s mind. Then, as she met Linsey s eyes, an idea struck her, and she answered, That s right.
With her chin lifted, Kylee acted as though she was above everyone else. I may have left him at the altar, but now that I m back, Collin doesn t hold it against me. He even brought you along to my birthday party. That s how much he cares about me. Newest update provided by FindN()vel.net
A short, mocking laugh escaped Linsey.
She kept her composure, even now. No hint of jealousy slipped in as she retorted with crisp sarcasm, If he loved you so much, he would ve waited. Why would he end up marrying me?
That single line landed like a blow.
Anger flared in Kylee s eyes. You!
Matching Kylee s haughty pose, Linsey showed no interest in her or Cynthia s reactions and turned away without another glance.
Linsey Kylee called after her, eager to keep the exchange going.
Without acknowledging her, Linsey walked away and soon left the elegant restroom.
Kylee was never the one to lose face in a conversation. No one had ever managed to embarrass her like this, let alone an orphan.
A sharp scream burst from her lips, her delicate face contorted with fury. She pressed her hands down on the marble sink, her long nails dragging over the surface as if she wanted to crack it wide open. The screech of her nails across the countertop filled the air.
That grating noise sent shivers through Cynthia.
After a moment, Cynthia steadied herself and tried to coax Kylee away, forcing a smile for comfort. Don t let someone like her get to you, Kylee. She isn t worth your time.

Kylee s anger spilled out as she exclaimed, That bitch is going to pay!
Cynthia s voice was soft as she tried to calm her down.
Once Kylee s breathing started to slow, Cynthia offered a suggestion. Kylee, do you want me to help you get back at her?
That caught Kylee s attention. She turned her eyes on Cynthia, studying her for a moment, her expression unreadable. You d do that?
A confident grin spread across Cynthia s face. Absolutely. I have plenty of ways to make her look bad. Who knows? Maybe Collin will be so disgusted that he ll end up divorcing her.
Cynthia s plan wasn t spelled out, but the idea that Collin might cast Linsey aside instantly caught Kylee s interest.
Letting someone else handle Linsey sounded more tempting the more she thought about it. If it worked, she would have a chance to win Collin back. If it didn t, all the blame would fall on Cynthia, not her.
With that realization, a faint smile tugged at the corners of Kylee s lips. However, before she agreed to anything, there was one thing she needed to know.
