Chapter 589
589:
Linsey had been recovering at home, her wounds slowly healing. She had hoped to reveal her pregnancy to Collin once he returned from his trip.
But Collin had been unexpectedly tied up lately, as if preoccupied with something significant. Reluctant to bother him, Linsey decided to wait for the right moment to share her news.
That night, as she waited for Collin to return for dinner, Linsey browsed the Internet in the living room. Over the past few days, the shares of CR Corporation had surged, attracting a flurry of eager partners. The deals alone had reached a staggering five billion in local currency, not including the profits from CR Corporation’s ventures in production and investments.
Linsey’s surprise grew with each article she read.
Meanwhile, the Lawson Group had suffered a series of losses from recent scandals, a stark contrast to the two billion in compensation they had received from CR Corporation. Linsey wondered what might have happened if CR Corporation hadn’t cut ties with Lawson Group. Would they have been caught in the fallout?
Collin entered quietly, taking off his coat and sitting down next to Linsey. “What’s caught your interest?”
“You’re home!” Linsey’s face lit up with a smile as she replied, “Just reading the latest about CR Corporation and Lawson Group. They’ve been all over the news lately.”
Collin raised an eyebrow. “I was worried you might be bored staying here, but you seem quite captivated.”
Linsey burst into laughter. “What? I’m just browsing. Nothing really caught my eye.”
She continued, “You and Dustin were right. The guy running CR Corporation has his own agenda. Turns out I was worried over nothing.”
With a gentle gesture, Collin reached out and tousled Linsey’s hair, his voice warm. “It’s perfectly normal to feel uneasy since you work at CR Corporation. I told you that just to calm your nerves, so it wouldn’t affect your day.”
Linsey nodded in understanding. “I get it now.”
Turning her attention back to her laptop, she scrolled with ease. As she read online accolades celebrating CR Corporation’s founder, she found herself agreeing. “The person behind CR Corporation really is remarkable—intelligent, well-planned, philanthropic, and so down-to-earth.”
While the Internet buzzed with speculation about the founder’s identity, Linsey’s eyes sparkled with intrigue. “I’ve heard rumors that the founder is married. I wonder if that’s true?”
Caught off guard, Collin—who was actually the founder—momentarily lost his composure. Narrowing his eyes, his voice carried a hint of envy. “Why? Are you upset that he’s married?”
