Chapter 640
640:
With a firm nod, Dustin immediately said, “Checking whether Linsey left alone or with someone might give us a clue about what’s troubling her.”
Acting quickly, Dustin contacted his team and instructed them to urgently retrieve the company’s surveillance footage tracing Linsey’s movements throughout the day.
The lounge grew tense with anticipation as they awaited news. Within minutes, Dustin’s phone buzzed with a call from his subordinate.
Hearing the frantic voice on the other end, Dustin abruptly stood up, panic flooding his expression. “Wait—repeat that clearly. You’re telling me Linsey was abducted earlier today?”
Collin froze instantly, his expression darkening with intense focus. Without hesitation, he snatched Dustin’s phone and switched it to speaker mode.
“That’s right, Mr. Wade,” the subordinate said nervously. “The footage clearly shows Linsey stepping outside after a courier called her name. As soon as she approached the delivery vehicle, someone knocked her unconscious and dragged her inside. Everything happened swiftly at the company entrance, but hardly anyone passed by due to working hours. Even the security guard was occupied elsewhere, completely missing the incident.”
Confusion creased Dustin’s forehead. “She stepped outside just because a courier called for her? That doesn’t sound like Linsey—could she have known him?”
Collin’s breathing grew strained, his voice rough and tense. “Tell me the exact time this happened.”
The subordinate paused briefly, then hesitantly relayed the timing.
Every muscle in Collin’s body tightened in response.
That precise time matched exactly when he had messaged Linsey about the special dress delivery.
Linsey had innocently believed the courier was there on his behalf.
Collin’s fists clenched in self-blame, each breath heavy with regret.

Sensing Collin’s turmoil, Dustin quickly intervened, hoping to ease his worry. “Collin, remember, Linsey later sent voice messages reassuring her coworkers that she was fine. That means she must have been rescued.”
“Someone stepped in,” Collin murmured quietly, barely audible.
Dustin quickly redirected his subordinate with a stern voice. “Dig into that delivery van immediately. Find out exactly who dared to abduct Linsey.”
“Right away, Mr. Wade.”
As soon as the call ended, Dustin spoke again, piecing the clues together. “Whoever took her might have intentionally fed Linsey lies about you, Collin.”
An unsettling thought flashed across Dustin’s mind. “Wait—Collin, could Gorman be behind this?”
Collin instantly shot Dustin a hard stare, his eyes narrowing in skepticism. Yet Dustin pressed further, convinced by his theory. “I handed Gorman the invitation; I might have let slip that the founder was proposing tonight. He probably guessed your identity from that conversation and abducted Linsey today to reveal everything.”
