Chapter 476
476:
“Not yet. I’m caught in traffic, so I might be a little late. If you arrive before me, don’t wait—just head inside.”
Collin frowned slightly on the other end, clearly concerned.
“Do you want me to come get you?”
After a brief pause, his voice softened with regret.
“I should’ve waited for you near your office earlier.”
Linsey chuckled lightly, her tone reassuring.
“Even if you did, it wouldn’t change the traffic situation. You’d just end up stuck here with me. No need to worry about it.”
Collin sighed, feeling a tinge of disappointment.
As the founder of CR Corporation, he had the power to arrange for a clear route.
But given that he would be revealing his identity at tonight’s banquet, he chose to hold back.
Sensing his mood shift, Linsey quickly reassured him,
“It’s alright. I’ll be there soon. Have you already arrived?”
“I’m at the entrance now,” Collin replied.
Linsey nodded.
“Go on in first. If you run into any influential guests, take the chance to connect with them. You gave me an invitation, so I’ll have no trouble getting in later.”
Her words made Collin chuckle.
She was clearly hoping he would use the opportunity to network with business elites.

Collin chuckled softly.
What Linsey didn’t realize was that the most powerful figure at this banquet was, in fact, her husband.
“Collin? Are you still there?” Linsey asked, puzzled by his silence.
His lips curled into a smile.
“I heard you.”
Since she insisted, he had no choice but to follow her advice and head inside first.
After he ended the call, Collin’s warm expression faded, replaced by his usual composed and authoritative demeanor.
He stepped out of the car, his mere presence drawing the attention of those nearby.
Guests whispered among themselves, wondering who he was.
Just then, another tall figure confidently approached him.
The sight of the newcomer left the crowd even more intrigued.
“It’s been a while, Mr. Riley.”
Collin lifted his gaze, a faint yet composed smile appearing on his lips.
“Mr. Lawson.”
Dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, Jeffery carried himself with the grace of a true gentleman. Every movement exuded sophistication, but beneath his refined demeanor lay a sharp, icy glint in his eyes—an unspoken warning to those who dared to overstep their bounds.
Stepping forward, Jeffery met Collin’s gaze.
