Chapter 828
828:
In fact, the only reason Haven was with him in the first place was because she had gone to great lengths to win over Ivy.
Haven was well aware that Collin presently had no feelings for her. However, she didn’t intend to give up because of that. In fact, this made her more determined to win him over.
“Collin, since we’ve run into each other, why don’t we all eat together? You already reserved a large private room. It should be more than enough for all of us,” Haven said softly. She was trying to play the role of a girlfriend who was striving to know her boyfriend and his friends better.
Linsey appeared unaffected by Haven’s suggestion. Dolores, on the other hand, wasn’t. She let out a short, derisive laugh.
“It seems Mr. Riley knows how to treat his girl. I heard that it was quite difficult to get a reservation in this restaurant, yet he managed to secure a large room. That’s mighty thoughtful of him.”
There was a short pause, then Dolores continued, “Oh, wait. That’s right. I nearly forgot that Mr. Riley is the founder of CR Corporation. No restaurant is out of his reach.”
Dustin was completely taken aback. He never imagined Dolores would dare talk to Collin like that.
Worried that Collin might take it the wrong way and lash out, Dustin quickly forced a smile. “Collin, Dolores was just saying how impressive you are,” he said, trying to lighten the mood.

Collin didn’t react much. His face stayed calm. But Haven didn’t look too pleased.
Dolores had called Haven Collin’s girlfriend, but her tone was sharp, not kind. Her words dripped with sarcasm.
Dustin also behaved oddly. Though he was close friends with Collin, the president of CR Corporation, he played dumb when Dolores criticized Collin and even quickly tried to smooth things over.
Haven glanced at Dolores. Noticing that Dolores’ face held a flicker of contempt, she gave a faint smile and opened her mouth as if to say something.
But before she could say anything, Linsey gently took Dolores’ hand. “I’ve lost my appetite. I think I’ll head back. You and Dustin can stay and eat.”
“You’re leaving?” Dolores’ eyes widened in disbelief. She looked ready to shake Linsey out of it.
Her ex-husband had the nerve to show up with his new girlfriend. And Linsey wanted to leave?
No way. Dolores wasn’t about to let that happen.
They got there first. They had already placed their order.
If anyone needed to leave, it should be Collin and his new girl.
