Chapter 262

 262:
“I’m not a fan of Kylee, but this? This is just shameless. It’s outright plagiarism!”
Before long, someone noticed they could no longer leave comments under Linsey’s account.
A few tried refreshing the page and logging back in, only to find that her profile had been deactivated.
“Damn. Linsey really shut it down.”
“Looks like she couldn’t handle the heat.”
“Linsey, do you think deactivating your account makes this go away? Think again. Everyone, keep spreading the word! People need to know who she really is—a plagiarist!”
Meanwhile, Linsey had already left work and gone home, completely unaware of the storm brewing online.
She still believed her supervisor and the company would handle the situation, so she deliberately avoided checking the comments. There was no point in stressing over it if the issue was already being taken care of.
In the study, Collin was deep in thought when he heard the front door open earlier than expected.
He wheeled himself out to meet her. “Linsey? You’re home early. Something happen at work?”
There was a slight edge of concern in his voice.
He knew her well enough to tell when something was off. Linsey was dedicated to her job, and leaving early wasn’t like her.
She hesitated for half a second, caught off guard by how quickly he noticed. But she didn’t want to worry him. If the company was already handling it, there was no need to make a big deal out of it.

She smiled as she set her bag down. “Yeah, I finished early, so they gave me some time off. That’s all. You look surprised. Aren’t you happy to see me?”
Collin, who had been busy digging into Gorman’s affairs and hadn’t kept up with what was happening online, took her words at face value.
Relieved that she had some time to rest, he smiled. “You’ve been pushing yourself too hard lately. It’s good you finally have a break,” he said, his tone gentle. “Since you’re free, how about we go out and get some fresh air?”
Linsey blinked at him, then smiled. “That sounds nice.”
The next morning, she was ready for their walk.
“Where are we going today?” she asked, lacing her fingers through his. “We’ve been to all the parks around here. Maybe the mall this time?”
Collin smiled and squeezed her hand. “It’s a surprise. Just trust me and follow along.”
Linsey raised an eyebrow, caught off guard but intrigued. Without hesitation, she followed him across the open space—only to stop dead in her tracks. A helicopter sat before her, its sleek frame gleaming under the sunlight. She blinked, her mind scrambling to catch up.
“This…” Her voice trailed off as she struggled to process what she was seeing.
She had never been this close to a helicopter before, and now one was right in front of her.
She turned to Collin, wide-eyed.
He had said they were just going for a walk. A simple outing.
But somehow, he had arranged a helicopter.
Linsey wasn’t sure whether to laugh or shake her head. “Where exactly are you taking me?”
