Chapter 431

 431:
As Flavia stood confronted by Collin’s assistant, her confidence crumbled. She shot a resentful glance at Linsey before quickly turning to address the assistant with forced respect. “I caught this woman lurking around Mr. Riley’s room. I thought she was eavesdropping, so I was about to escort her to the security office.”
The assistant’s expression hardened. He sternly said, “What nonsense are you talking about? This is Mr. Riley’s wife!”
Flavia’s eyes widened in shock. She turned to Linsey, her face frozen in disbelief. But Linsey remained composed, completely unruffled by the accusation.
Collin’s wife? That couldn’t be possible!
Flavia’s mind raced back to yesterday when she had seen Linsey in Gorman’s hospital room, taking over applying his medication.
“No, that’s impossible…” Flavia stammered, her voice laced with disbelief.
To her horror, Collin’s assistant raised a hand in a silent, chilling signal. Immediately, two men in black stepped forward.
“You know what to do. Make sure this nurse never finds work at any hospital again,” the assistant ordered coldly.
Flavia’s face drained of color. Panic-stricken, she clasped her hands together in a desperate plea. “Please! I was wrong! Don’t blacklist me! I had no idea… I didn’t know she was Mrs. Riley.”
Tears spilled down her cheeks as she turned toward Linsey. Her body nearly bowed in supplication. “Mrs. Riley, I’m so sorry! I didn’t recognize you. Please, forgive me. It won’t happen again!”
Linsey observed Flavia’s tear-streaked face and felt a pang of sympathy. She pressed her lips together and gently said, “Let her go. She was only doing her job to keep the hospital secure.”

Upon hearing Linsey’s merciful words, the assistant adjusted his stance. “Understood, Mrs. Riley.”
The assistant then addressed Flavia. “Consider yourself lucky that Mrs. Riley spoke on your behalf. Don’t let this happen again. Leave now and stay out of trouble.”
With that, he turned back to Linsey and respectfully opened the hospital room door for her. “Mrs. Riley, please. I’ll make sure no one disturbs you again.”
Flavia wasted no time. Her face drained of color as she slipped away as quietly as possible. Once she was at a safe distance, she exhaled in relief.
As the events of the day replayed in her mind, humiliation and fury burned hotter than ever.
It turned out that woman was Collin’s wife.
The audacity of her to entangle herself with both Collin and Gorman, two excellent men!
Flavia gritted her teeth, her eyes darkening with malice. She had vowed to make Linsey pay for yesterday’s humiliation. Now, after this, she was even more determined.
Her mind spun with possibilities as she began plotting a way to make Linsey regret ever crossing her.
Linsey entered Collin’s hospital room, holding a thermos in her hand. Collin lay stretched out on the bed, looking completely at ease. The moment he saw her, his face lit up with a warm smile.
