Chapter 616
616:
Danny blinked, confused. “Mr. Green, what did you say?”
A moment ago, Gorman had been drowning in his usual misery. Now, there was a glint of energy in his eyes. “She’s going to come see me soon.”
Danny stared at him, unsure of how to respond. Was Gorman truly that oblivious? Linsey had never cared for him. While Gorman had spent days brooding, she had probably already forgotten about him. But Danny didn’t dare say that out loud.
Gorman, unbothered by the lack of response, leaned back, his expression unwavering. His instincts told him one thing—Linsey would come. She had to.
That night, Gorman never slept.
The Green family’s mansion, which had felt cold and lifeless for days, was suddenly stirred by an unexpected arrival.
“Mr. Green! There’s someone at the door!” Danny, who had been growing restless, hurried inside with urgency.
If nothing else, it meant Gorman would have a distraction. If he kept isolating himself in his room, it wouldn’t be long before it started affecting him in worse ways.
Gorman’s head snapped up. He shot to his feet, a flicker of excitement flashing across his face. “Is it Linsey?”
His voice was eager, his steps quick as he moved forward. “I knew it. I knew she’d come looking for me!”
He was momentarily stunned, unable to explain before suddenly pausing, flustered.
“No… I reek of alcohol. I look terrible. Linsey wouldn’t like this.” Without wasting another second, he grabbed Danny’s arm. “Go tell her to wait for me! I’ll meet her right after I clean up!”
“Mr. Green…” Danny barely managed to catch Gorman before he rushed off to the bathroom. From outside, the sound of water running echoed, and Danny sighed, convinced that Gorman was now completely consumed by his obsessions.

Soon, Gorman emerged, looking sharp and composed.
“We can’t delay, Linsey is waiting,” Gorman said briskly as he headed toward the exit.
“Mr. Green, you need to understand… it’s not Linsey who’s here.” Danny quickly followed, speaking urgently to clarify.
Gorman stopped in his tracks, silent for a moment.
Nervously, Danny continued, “Apologies for not being clear before. Dustin Wade from CR Corporation is the one who has arrived.”
Expecting Gorman’s anger, Danny was surprised when Gorman replied smoothly, “If it’s someone from CR Corporation, we should meet him without delay.”
Relieved, Danny nodded. “Understood, sir.”
Gorman, along with Danny, quickly made their way to the living room downstairs, where Dustin awaited.
