Chapter 294
294:
Linsey had been puzzled about how Jude had come across her design drafts.
But now, seeing Cynthia, everything clicked into place.
It was all part of a scheme between Cynthia and Coen to set her up…
As Linsey processed this, another woman’s voice suddenly cut through the scene.
“Jude, what’s happening? You took forever to show up, and you still messed up with Linsey? How could you make such a huge blunder?”
The voice hit Linsey’s ears, and her eyes widened in shock.
Linsey had always sensed that Cynthia didn’t like her, so the scheming made sense.
But why was Kylee caught up in this?
For a moment, Linsey wondered if she had mistaken it.
But the screen clearly showed Kylee, and after a few seconds, Linsey was sure she hadn’t imagined it.
She couldn’t shake the memory of how uneasy she had always felt around Kylee in their previous meetings.
Back then, Linsey had convinced herself she was just overthinking.
Now, she saw how convincingly Kylee could play her part.
Kylee had truly earned her reputation as an actress.
The more Linsey dwelled on it, the angrier she grew. If she hadn’t left a mark on her design drafts, she might’ve been wrongly accused of plagiarism and destroyed in the industry for good.
She couldn’t allow Kylee, the mastermind, to escape unscathed. Kylee had to be held accountable.
But then, a new thought crossed Linsey’s mind.

Kylee and Collin had been childhood friends. How would Collin react when he learned the truth?
Would he take Kylee’s side?
The thought unsettled Linsey, and she instinctively glanced at Collin behind her.
Noticing Linsey’s gaze on him, Collin raised an eyebrow and asked softly, “Why the sudden stare?”
Linsey paused, then answered coolly, “You don’t look surprised at all.” She glanced at Kylee on the screen. “Did you already know it was Kylee who set me up?”
“When I questioned Jude earlier, I pieced it all together—it’s all tied to Kylee,” Collin replied, his expression unchanged.
Looking at his indifferent response, Linsey bit her lip and asked carefully, “Now that you know, what do you intend to do about Kylee?”
In that moment, Linsey couldn’t shake the fear that Collin might still take Kylee’s side.
Kylee had been his childhood friend. It was not surprising that Collin cared about her.
Before Linsey could finish her thought, Collin spoke. “This is about your reputation. Since she set you up, I won’t hold back.”
Linsey was slightly startled by his response. She blinked, staring at him, then asked, “But you’ve known Kylee forever… Don’t you still have feelings for her? Don’t you want to defend her?”
Collin hesitated, feeling the weight of Linsey’s careful questioning. It was both amusing and a little exasperating.
She was his wife. How could Kylee ever measure up to her?
Collin understood Linsey’s worries. He gave her a soft smile before speaking. “I’ve known Kylee for years. After my accident, when everything changed, she stuck by me. As long as she didn’t cross any major lines, she was always a friend.”
