Chapter 758
758:
Gorman always seemed to know how to strike where it hurt the most. Yet he acted as though he only wished her well.
Linsey took a deep breath and nodded in response.
“Isn’t that Gorman Green, the head of Green Group? He hasn’t been in town for a long while. Why has he suddenly returned?” someone whispered.
“Who’s the masked woman with him? She’s quite stunning,” another person said.
“There are rumors that it’s the winner of this year’s design competition, Aurora Bright.”
“That’s strange. Wasn’t Aurora representing the Davidson Group in the competition? How is she connected to Gorman?”
“Who knows. Still, you have to admit they make a striking pair together.”
Gorman, upon hearing the last comment, smiled slightly, the moodiness around him dissipating.
Linsey, however, pretended not to hear any of it. She and Gorman continued walking inside.
Soon, she spotted a familiar figure she hadn’t seen in a long time.
Her breath caught in her throat, and her pulse quickened.
She struggled to maintain her composure—she didn’t want Gorman to notice anything was amiss.
Gorman also saw Collin, and his eyes narrowed. Without a word, he walked up to Collin, with Linsey in tow.

“Long time no see, Collin.”
Collin turned toward the voice he had heard, and his gaze locked onto a familiar pair of eyes.
His heart skipped a beat.
Linsey didn’t understand why Gorman had brought her to Collin. However, she steeled herself and met Collin’s gaze with practiced indifference.
“Yeah, it has,” Collin replied after a moment of awkward silence. As he spoke, his eyes remained fixed on Linsey.
Gorman took note of Collin’s reaction, and a smirk tugged at his lips. He released Linsey’s hand and instead placed an arm around her shoulder.
“Allow me to introduce the champion of this year’s design competition, Aurora Bright.”
Linsey kept her eyes on the floor. Her fist clenched involuntarily.
What on earth was Gorman planning?
She had thought that with her mask, it would be easy to avoid being recognized if she kept her distance.
But now, Gorman had brought her right in front of Collin.
Linsey’s breath grew labored beneath her mask.
Taking note of Linsey’s distress, Gorman tightened his arm around her shoulder.
“Oh yeah?” Collin said, his eyes still on Linsey, as though he could see beneath the mask.
