Chapter 922
922:
Collin gently wiped away Linsey’s tears with a tissue before speaking. “Kylee couldn’t have orchestrated such a complex plan on her own. Not only did she know exactly when Gorman would escort you to the bridal shop, but she also infiltrated the place disguised as staff. Someone else must be pulling the strings behind her.”
Linsey looked at Collin, the storm in her expression slowly calming. “She refused to reveal her accomplice, didn’t she?”
“Indeed.” Collin nodded without hesitation. “The authorities are working hard to gather evidence as we speak. With Gorman being a Green, simply apprehending Kylee for the assault won’t be enough to deliver justice.” His words instantly took Linsey’s mind to Gorman’s parents abroad.
She had met them during her time overseas.
Gorman’s father had carried himself with a dignified authority, while his mother radiated grace and warmth. Both had welcomed her with unexpected kindness.
Back then, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Gorman had briefed them beforehand, as they seemed unphased by her having two children already and had subtly hinted at their hopes for her to join the Green family.
Ultimately, she had declined, doing so with gentle but firm resolve.
Upon returning to Grester, Gorman’s parents had faded from her life.
Lowering her gaze, Linsey pressed her lips into a thin line and whispered, “When Gorman’s parents find out about his fate, they’ll be devastated. I dread having to face them.”
Darkness clouded Collin’s eyes. He took Linsey’s hand in his, his voice steady and resolute. “I stand by you. Whatever storms come, we’ll face them together.”
After a moment of quiet reflection, Linsey lifted her chin. “Collin, I need to confront Kylee. Maybe I can coax the truth out of her.”

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements,” Collin promised, without a moment’s hesitation.
After a brief pause, Linsey prepared to leave. With her children out for an outing with Dolores and Dustin, she freshened up and followed Collin to the police station.
Kylee’s murder, committed while already incarcerated, had only made her crimes even more heinous.
Whether or not they uncovered the puppeteer manipulating her, Kylee would face the full, unforgiving weight of justice for her actions. Thanks to Collin’s influence, Linsey quickly received authorization to meet with Kylee.
At the threshold, however, she turned to Collin with quiet determination. “I need to face her alone. Please wait for me here.”
Collin’s brow furrowed in disapproval. He was clearly troubled by her request. “I’d rather accompany you for your safety.”
A gentle smile touched Linsey’s lips. “The room will be guarded, and Kylee has been thoroughly searched and restrained. There’s no danger.” She hesitated briefly before lowering her voice to a confidential murmur. “Besides, Kylee has always harbored feelings for you. Your presence would only make her more defiant and secretive.”
