Chapter 332
332:
As Danny shifted the briefing to other aspects concerning the Green Group, Gorman’s focus started to drift. Suddenly, a buzz from his phone snagged his attention, signaling a new notification.
Gorman unlocked his phone and read the message, his face hardening. He signaled for Danny to stop, and Danny fell silent immediately.
As he scanned the message, Gorman’s expression darkened further.
“Mr. Green, is everything okay?” Danny asked, noticing the shift in his demeanor. It was unusual for Gorman to look so rattled.
In a sharp tone, Gorman muttered, “That Collin guy is completely incompetent! He can’t even take good care of Linsey, and now she’s sick because of him.”
“Huh?” Danny was taken aback, clearly confused by the sudden change in direction. What was going on? Just moments ago, they had been deep in a business discussion. How had the conversation veered toward Linsey?
Gorman’s eyes remained fixed on the message from his informant, his frustration mounting. He had used his influence within CR Corporation to covertly monitor Linsey, making sure he was always in the loop about her whereabouts and activities. It was through this network that he learned of her sudden illness.
The more Gorman thought about it, the more a sense of injustice swelled within him. “If Linsey had married me, none of this would’ve happened. She wouldn’t have to endure this kind of hardship. She could’ve been living a life of luxury as the wife of the Green family,” he murmured.
Collin, a loser, couldn’t manage his own responsibilities and pushed Linsey to the brink, ruining her health in the process. What a disgrace of a man.
Gorman’s face twisted with resentment. “Damn Collin, he’s not worthy of Linsey.”

His eyes blazed with resolve as he clenched his jaw. “I need to find a way to get Linsey away from him, and fast.” It was clear there could be no more waiting. He had to move quickly.
At CR Corporation, Linsey suddenly sneezed twice, a shiver running down her back. She grabbed a tissue to wipe her nose, then rose to close the window in her office. The air was growing colder, and she couldn’t afford to catch a cold now.
Her stomach issues had already been troubling Collin enough. If she ended up sick on top of that, he would probably make a big deal out of it again.
Just then, her phone buzzed with a new notification.
Opening it, she saw that Kane had added her to a group chat about a reunion happening this weekend. As soon as Linsey entered the group, several messages popped up, each one more eager than the last.
“Linsey, long time no see! How have you been?” “I heard you got promoted to department head—impressive!” “You’re so young, already a supervisor. Meanwhile, we’re still stuck in the trenches.” “Since you’re a supervisor now, helping us get jobs at CR should be a breeze, right? We did study the same major after all.” “How’s the pay at CR Corporation? Maybe I should think about applying for a designer role there.” “With Linsey at CR, why settle for a designer position? You should aim for team leader!”
Seeing the messages, Linsey responded with detached calm. Though they were her former classmates, she wasn’t particularly close to any of them and wasn’t keen on getting involved in their small talk. She replied briefly with a polite comment, “You all have great potential. I’m sure you’ll do well wherever you end up.”
