Chapter 925
925:
Linsey’s chin lifted ever so slightly, her voice calm but pointed. “You really think Collin doesn’t already know I’m a woman drawn to vanity? If that were some grand revelation, then why would he have divorced me four years ago in the first place?”
After a brief pause, she continued, “The difference now is that I’ve given birth to his children. Even if he can’t stand me, those kids tie us together. Like it or not, that’s leverage. So tell me—don’t you think that counts for something?”
Doubt crept into Kylee’s eyes, and her voice cracked. “Wait… you’re telling me you actually had Collin’s children?”
That revelation didn’t align with anything she had heard before.
Never once had anyone mentioned something so important. Not even Haven. And Haven had made it crystal clear that she was desperate to marry Collin. If Linsey already had children with him, why hadn’t she said anything?
If what Linsey was saying was true, then Collin might feel obligated to take her back, for the children’s sake, if nothing else.
Suddenly, every promise Haven had whispered to Kylee seemed fragile. How could she deliver on any of them now?
Backed into a corner, Kylee clung to the little hope she had left. All she could do was pray that Haven would still marry Collin and get her out of prison, like she had sworn she would. But Linsey’s words had shifted everything.
Now it made perfect sense why Collin had been so gentle with her at the bridal boutique.
She had believed Haven’s story about the 2.7 billion-dollar necklace, convinced it was a gift from Collin.
Now it was clear. The entire thing had been a lie, carefully spun to keep her in the dark.

“You really think I’d lie to you?” Linsey lifted an eyebrow. “If I were lying, then why is Collin being kind to me again? Do you honestly think he’s fallen for me?”
“No way!” Kylee couldn’t bring herself to believe it.
How could Collin possibly fall for someone like Linsey? If he had truly loved her, he wouldn’t have ended their marriage four years ago.
It had to be because of the kids!
Collin was only trying to get back with Linsey because of their children.
Kylee’s thoughts spun out of control, and her heart raced. It now seemed clear that Haven wouldn’t be marrying Collin after all.
She had messed up again!
The more Kylee thought things through, the more she regretted her choices.
Why had she believed everything Haven said so easily?
Her anger had clouded her judgment.
As soon as she saw a chance to ruin Linsey, she lost sight of everything else.
But now, she hadn’t just failed to kill Linsey—she had ended up causing Gorman’s death by mistake. He was the only heir of the Green family.
Once the Green family returned to Grester to deal with her, she was going to pay dearly! She really hated Linsey.
