Chapter 634

 634:
Only now did Linsey grasp the painful truth: what she had seen as a beautiful, loving marriage had, for Collin, been little more than a fragile arrangement—one he could discard if it became inconvenient.
Did he truly see her as nothing but a potential problem waiting to happen?
What felt most absurd was Collin’s confession that he had hidden his identity as the founder of CR Corporation because he feared she would only care for his status. The idea seemed utterly ridiculous now.
Carol had been right all along.
Through their entire relationship, Collin had never truly seen her as his real wife. As this realization settled in, tears streamed silently down Linsey’s cheeks, unstoppable.
Linsey.
While driving, Gorman glanced at Linsey with deep concern. Her silent tears of grief tore at his heart, filling him with helpless sorrow.
Linsey’s breathing became shallow, her head tilting back as a crushing tightness gripped her chest.
Linsey! Alarmed, Gorman quickly pulled the car to the side, unfastened his seatbelt, and leaned across to comfort her. Linsey, just breathe. Try to calm down.
With eyes swollen from crying, Linsey turned toward Gorman, opened her mouth to speak, but her vision blurred. Darkness washed over her as she slipped into unconsciousness.
When Linsey’s eyes fluttered open, she found Collin sitting beside her. A thick, unsettling silence filled the room.
Collin? Linsey murmured, her voice hoarse.
As she tried to sit up, a sharp pain shot through her body, making her wince.
Collin’s gaze was fixed on her, his expression unreadable. You’re pregnant, he said, his voice layered with emotion.

Linsey took a shaky breath, struggling with the weight of Collin’s deceit. Forcing a weak smile, she asked, Isn’t this the part where you come clean about everything?
Collin frowned. Come clean about what?
There was a pause before realization dawned on him. Oh, you mean me being the founder of CR Corporation?
The man before her seemed almost like a stranger as Linsey confirmed, Yes…
Before she could say more, Collin cut her off. And? I’ve never truly cared about you, so why would I share something that important? After all, you might just be after my wealth.
Disbelief washed over Linsey as she stared at Collin. What are you talking about?
Collin’s patience seemed to wear thin. Enough. I don’t have time for pointless arguments.
He stood abruptly, his tone colder than ever. You accuse me of deceit, but you hid your pregnancy from me?
Fighting to maintain her composure, Linsey asked, What exactly are you trying to say, Collin? You were the one who wanted a child. Are you suggesting I shouldn’t keep it?
Collin’s response was a sneer, his lips curling with disdain. Not at all. That child is meant to be the heir of CR Corporation. I intend to make sure they’re raised by my future wife—someone truly worthy.
