Clasping Linsey s hand and putting on her most apologetic tone, she said, Linsey, please forgive me. I got caught up in the search for the bracelet and trusted Cynthia. I hope you won t hold it against me.

Linsey wasn t swayed by the act, slipping her hand from Kylee s grasp and stepping away. If every problem could be fixed with an apology, there d be no need for courts or laws.

You! Kylee almost let her composure slip, revealing her true feelings. Gritting her teeth, she secretly clenched her hand into a fist at her side.

Quickly switching tactics, she adopted a wounded look and turned toward Collin. Collin, I admit I made mistakes and I ve already apologized, but Linsey refuses to let it go. I honestly don t know what else I can do

Linsey couldn t hide her frown as she listened, silently impressed and a bit annoyed, by how convincingly Kylee could play the innocent victim.

She wished Collin had witnessed Kylee s true colors back in the restroom.

Out of nowhere, Collin called her name. Linsey.

What is it you want? Linsey asked warily, her mind racing with the suspicion that he might try to plead Kylee s case. Their gazes locked for a tense moment.

After a brief silence, Collin finally said, I need a word with Kylee. Why don t you take a walk?

Linsey s eyes flicked to Kylee, who was still putting on her act for all it was worth. Heat rushed to Linsey s cheeks as irritation bubbled up inside her.

Honestly, leaving sounded like the best option. She had zero interest in sticking around for Kylee s performance.

Without another word, Linsey gave a stiff nod, turned on her heel, and walked away, not sparing them a backward glance.

Collin watched her go, leaning back in his wheelchair and tapping his fingers thoughtfully on the armrests.

That was when Kylee called out, her voice soft and sweet, Collin Only then did he shift his attention to her.

L $? t ? ? glov?l. m

Kylee flashed him a smile, ready to plead her case, but the icy edge in his eyes made her words falter, a shiver racing down her spine.

She took a steadying breath and gave him a look of desperate hope. Collin, can t you forgive me?

A pause lingered before she rushed to explain herself. It was all Cynthia s idea. I swear, I had nothing to do with it.

As Kylee spoke, her eyes shimmered with unshed tears, making her look even more pitiful.

But Collin s expression didn t soften in the slightest. He cut straight to the point. So, was convincing the cleaning lady to pull that stunt on Linsey also Cynthia s brilliant idea?

The question hit Kylee like a slap. Her breath caught, and her body went stiff. Collin, how did you find out about that?

A cold, dismissive laugh escaped Collin. He ignored her question, his tone dropping even colder as he said, Let me make one thing clear: I don t tolerate anyone messing with Linsey. She s my wife now. This time, I ll let it go. Next time, you won t like my response.

His words struck deep, leaving Kylee shaken and on the verge of tears, her entire frame trembling.

She stared at him, eyes wide with disbelief. I ve known you for more than twenty years, and Linsey s only been your wife for days. You re really choosing her over me?
