Chapter 632

 632:
He immediately regretted turning down Dustin’s invitation earlier—if he had accepted, he would have a reason to stay by Linsey’s side now.
Just as Linsey was about to answer, a deep, familiar voice drifted out from a nearby hotel room.
“Stop the rumors. The truth will be revealed tonight.”
It was Collin.
Linsey froze, startled, and instinctively glanced toward the room. The door was slightly open, probably left ajar by mistake.
Behind her, Gorman stood in silence, confusion flickering across his face. He said nothing, but after a moment of listening, he recognized the voice as Collin’s.
Inside, the conversation continued.
Linsey heard Dustin speak as well. “Collin plans to reveal everything to his wife tonight. I’m relieved—tomorrow, I won’t have to keep covering for him.”
A jolt of anxiety raced through Linsey.
So Collin truly was hiding something from her.
The moment those words were spoken, another voice joined the conversation.
“Unbelievable! Two years away, and it feels like I’ve missed a lifetime. Collin, why have you kept this from your wife? Her name’s Linsey, right?”
Before Collin could answer, Dustin chimed in with a casual tone. “Dilan, think about it. Do you not remember who Collin really is? In this town, there are countless women who dream of marrying the founder of CR Corporation. If Linsey had known Collin was the founder before they got married, it would have been chaos.”
As Linsey stood in the doorway, the rest of the world seemed to blur into silence. The revelation was so overwhelming it drowned out every other sound, pounding in her ears and rattling her nerves.
Gorman stood speechless beside her, unable to process what he had just heard. There it was—the truth, laid bare: Collin was the founder of CR Corporation.

His first instinct was to glance at Linsey, but her expression was distant, cold, almost unreachable.
A heavy silence settled before Collin finally spoke. “Marrying Linsey was never something I planned. My grandmother insisted I settle down. On our wedding day, the bride who was originally supposed to marry me ran away because of my fake disability. By sheer coincidence, Linsey, who happened to be there, became my wife.”
Collin spoke of his wife with a gentle affection, unaware that Linsey stood just outside the door, hearing every word.
Dilan gave a knowing nod. “You were afraid Linsey only wanted your money, so you kept your identity as CR Corporation’s founder a secret, even after the wedding.”
Outside, a bitter smile trembled on Linsey’s lips. Her lashes fluttered under the weight of tears she refused to shed.
Was it really only about the money?
