Chapter 661
661:
Linsey shook her head. “I only show kindness to good people. I felt bad because Myla was pleading on Carol’s behalf, but now that I think about it, they should be begging Collin. Carol made her own mistakes, and legally, she might only serve a few years in prison. But Collin wants her locked up for life. Unlike him, I have to respect the law. I don’t have his kind of power.”
When he heard that, something clicked in Gorman’s mind. “You and Myla look very alike,” he remarked thoughtfully.
Linsey’s expression remained calm. “Just a coincidence.”
But Gorman’s eyes flickered with something unreadable. He didn’t believe in coincidences. There was likely more to the story—something hidden beneath the surface.
Still, until he uncovered the truth, he would let it go for now. “Yeah, quite a coincidence.”
Gorman studied her face for a moment, then said, “It’s late. You should rest. If anything happens, call me immediately. I’ll have someone outside to make sure you’re not disturbed.”
Linsey felt a warmth in her heart. “Gorman, thank you. You’ve been incredibly supportive, and I appreciate it more than I can say.”
Gorman arched an eyebrow. “Not enough. There’s something else I’d like to take care of for you.”
Linsey blinked in surprise. “What is it?” She couldn’t guess.
Gorman chuckled, his handsome smile carrying a hint of affection. “You told Collin today that you wanted a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement. Let me handle that for you. It’s the least I can do.”
Linsey froze for a moment, caught off guard. Her expression wavered.
As he noted her hesitation, Gorman’s smile faded. His voice was careful as he asked, “Linsey, have you not made up your mind yet?”
A wave of frustration surged through him. He couldn’t understand why Linsey was still hesitating. After everything Collin had done, why couldn’t she just walk away? To Gorman, Collin was nothing but a liar—completely unworthy of Linsey.

But no matter how much resentment burned inside him, Gorman kept his composure. This wasn’t the time to lose his temper. If he pushed too hard, he might only drive Linsey away.
Linsey snapped out of her thoughts and quickly shook her head. “No, I’ve made up my mind. I just don’t want to trouble you.”
After everything Collin had put her through, there was no way she could stay with him.
Hearing that, Gorman let out a quiet sigh of relief. His smile returned. “It’s no trouble at all.”
He paused, then added, “Now that we know Collin is the founder of CR Corporation, we need to be smart. With his resources, he can easily hire the best lawyer. We’ll need someone just as skilled to stand a chance.”
Linsey considered his words and nodded. “You’re right. I’ll leave it to you.”
Linsey woke early the next morning.
Yesterday, Gorman had arranged for a full medical check-up, scheduled for the afternoon.
Her discharge would depend on the results.
