Chapter 331

 331:
Her eyes glimmered with the light of hopeful anticipation. “I want our child to be welcomed into a world filled with joy, not to endure hardships with us.”
Collin wanted to assure her that with his wealth and connections, their future child would never struggle financially and could enjoy a comfortable life without them working so tirelessly. Yet, he withheld the full extent of his assurances, not ready to disclose everything. Instead, he gave her a reassuring nod, clasped her hand gently, and affirmed, “Alright, we’ll work hard together, side by side.”
As the days unfolded, Linsey stuck to her regular schedule at work. However, Collin made it a point to call her during her breaks, always punctual, to remind her about her medication.
“Alright, no worries. I’ll take it after I eat,” Linsey responded, her voice light and thankful, as she ended the call with a smile.
A nearby colleague, overhearing the exchange, couldn’t resist a playful tease. “Linsey, you and your husband really have a strong bond. You’re here at work, and he still makes it a point to call you every day just to talk.”
With a helpless chuckle, Linsey clarified, “It’s not quite like that. I’ve been under the weather lately, so he’s just making sure I remember to take my medicine.” Her married colleagues, listening in, couldn’t hide their envy at such attentive care.
“Linsey, you have no idea how fortunate you are. When I was ill, my husband barely glanced my way, not a single hint of concern.”
“Tell me about it! Once, I came home with a fever after pulling a double shift, and there he was, expecting dinner. I was so close to losing it with him.”
“That’s precisely why we think your husband is such a gem!”
Linsey sat there, her expression one of complete astonishment, as she absorbed the stark differences in their marital experiences. It was only then that she realized how compassionate and attentive Collin truly was.

A newfound appreciation for him blossomed within her, and she made a silent pledge to cherish and appreciate him even more.
Unbeknownst to Linsey, however, their casual lunchtime banter was being discreetly recorded by someone nearby. Once Linsey and her colleagues dispersed, the mysterious person discreetly exited, promptly forwarding the recording to their boss.
At the summit of Green Group, in its polished top-floor conference room, Danny spoke with a mixture of respect and concern. “Mr. Green, over the past few years, CR Corporation’s expansion in Grester has been nothing short of phenomenal. Their reach is almost nationwide now—a stunning achievement for a company that’s relatively new to the scene.” He continued, “As a fast-growing titan, they’ve not only overtaken us in the design industry but are also venturing into cutting-edge territories like artificial intelligence. If we don’t act soon, we’ll be utterly eclipsed by CR Corporation.”
With a serious expression, Danny handed over the report. Gorman’s face clouded over with concern as he listened. “I’ve had you on this case for months, yet you still haven’t identified their founder?” he questioned, his voice tinged with irritation.
Danny shook his head, his expression somber. However, a flicker of remembrance sparked in his eyes. “Actually, Mr. Green, something did come up recently. At an auction in town, it’s rumored that the founder of CR Corporation acquired an extravagant necklace for his wife. This lead could help us unravel the identity of the founder,” he revealed.
Gorman’s response was calm and measured. “Pursue this lead. Ensure the information is precise and obtained swiftly.”
