Chapter 751
751:
“It’s not about stopping her entirely. My plan is to ensure she avoids using her right hand for any detailed work.”
Dolores picked up on an unusual tone in Gorman’s question, as if he were subtly suggesting she should keep Linsey from designing altogether.
Disturbed by her own thoughts, Dolores swiftly changed the subject. “Linsey’s in her room. Would you like to go see her?”
With a subtle shake of his head and a soft smile, Gorman declined. “No need, she needs her rest.”
He then casually asked after a brief pause, “Has Linsey met Collin during her stay in town?”
His expression was mildly curious, suggesting he would be unfazed by her response.
“You two are quite close. Surely she tells you everything?” he continued.
Dolores felt her pulse quicken at the question.
Indeed, Linsey had confided in Dolores about encountering Collin soon after her return.
Yet, Dolores sensed that revealing this might stir trouble.
Gathering her thoughts, she responded steadily, “Linsey has been wholly focused on the competition since she came back. As you know, she just wrapped up today. Although CR Corporation sent a designer here, the entries this year were anonymous. Collin was unaware that Aurora was actually Linsey.”
While discussing, Dolores was suddenly reminded of an unusual episode when Collin appeared at Linsey’s booth without explanation. The rationale behind his suspicion remained a mystery to both her and Linsey.
Dolores decided against sharing this incident with Gorman.

Her interactions with Gorman had been limited, yet he always struck her as somewhat eerie.
Despite this, Gorman had consistently supported Linsey over the years, caring for her and her two children without any apparent faults, which left Dolores with no concrete reason to distrust him.
Thankfully, Linsey had never expressed a desire to be with Gorman, prompting Dolores to stay out of it.
“Understood,” Gorman responded with a knowing nod. “Collin previously deceived Linsey. I’m worried she might fall prey to his tricks again if they meet.”
As Gorman spoke, his face darkened, revealing his clear disdain for Collin, which he made no effort to conceal.
Gorman explained, “Linsey has finally recovered from her previous heartbreak. It would devastate me to see her suffer again.”
Dolores nodded in agreement. “I couldn’t agree more.”
Her own dislike for Collin was just as intense, given the pain he had caused Linsey.
Their discussion was interrupted when Dolores received an unexpected notification.
She checked her phone, her expression turning to surprise.
