Chapter 607
607:
Shortly thereafter, Jeffery, still unconscious, was transferred to the hematology department for further diagnostic tests.
Linsey remained by Myla’s side the entire time, watching over her quietly. She couldn’t help but feel perplexed by Jeffery’s sudden health scare. Though she had little fondness for him—arrogant and insufferable as he was—seeing him wheeled in and out for endless examinations stirred a flicker of sympathy in her heart.
While she was waiting, her phone suddenly rang. Seeing Collin’s name on the screen, she instinctively moved to a quieter corner of the corridor before answering.
“Linsey, have you finished your meeting with the client? Did everything go as planned?” Collin’s voice carried a hint of concern.
Glancing toward Myla and Cruz, who stood not far away, Linsey was about to reply when she overheard a nearby patient stopping a doctor with a question.
Collin, ever sharp, immediately caught on. His voice tensed with urgency. “Linsey, are you at a hospital? Are you hurt? What happened?” His worry deepened as he pressed further. “I sent two people to protect you—why didn’t they report that you were at the hospital?”
Realizing he had jumped to the wrong conclusion, Linsey quickly cut in. “No, Collin, I’m fine,” she assured him.
With a helpless smile, she lowered her voice. “Let me explain.”
Collin exhaled, his tone softening slightly. “Alright. Go ahead.”
Linsey spoke gently. “I only found out after arriving at the restaurant that the so-called client I was meeting today was Jeffery’s mother.”
There was a brief silence before Collin’s voice darkened. “The Lawson family again? Are they still pestering you?”
Linsey sighed. “Yes. I hadn’t mentioned it before, but Jeffery called me two days ago. He was acting strangely, insisting that I contact our founder to help him out. I made it very clear that I’ve never even met the founder, yet for some reason, he believes I have the influence to sway his decisions. Honestly, I think he’s giving me far too much credit.”

Her words carried a touch of sarcasm, unaware that her own husband—Collin—was, in fact, the very founder Jeffery was so desperate to reach.
Collin, who had been planning to reveal the truth to Linsey at the upcoming annual gala, remained composed and didn’t let anything slip.
“So, Mrs. Lawson lured you in with a supposed design collaboration, but in reality, it was just another scheme for Jeffery to pressure you into helping him?” Collin deduced.
He had already turned down Jeffery’s requests for a meeting twice, making CR Corporation’s stance crystal clear. Yet, instead of backing off, Jeffery had gone so far as to involve his mother in an attempt to reach Linsey.
