Chapter 835
835:
It was then that Haven realized the person who had the allergic reaction was from their table—and a woman.
Was it Dolores? Or…
Regardless of who it was, she couldn’t understand why Collin would leave her behind like that.
Haven angrily walked out of the restaurant and pulled out her phone to call Collin.
However, she was unable to get through to him.
She could do nothing but stand outside the restaurant, fuming with rage.
After a few moments, she called Joanne. When Joanne answered, she said, “Put the investigation on Linsey Brooks on hold for now. I need you to look into Dolores Davidson from the Davidson Group. I want to know everything about her, including people close to her.”
Upon hearing Haven’s words, Joanne responded with a concerned expression. “Gathering information about Linsey Brooks is proving incredibly difficult. I’m starting to think Mr. Riley might be involved. How else could all traces of her, even a simple photograph, vanish? Especially since, four years ago, Linsey was quite a notable designer in town.”
A shadow crossed Haven’s face as she reflected on the fruitless files she had recently examined. She muttered with a hint of satisfaction, “Collin must be going to great lengths to keep Linsey’s details buried. That actually works in my favor.”
Initially, Haven had believed the woman she saw with Dolores might be Linsey. Now, she doubted that assumption.

She reasoned that if the woman had indeed been Linsey, Collin would not have remained so composed at the same table.
Furthermore, the woman’s striking beauty had sparked a sudden sense of threat and jealousy within Haven.
Out of the blue, Joanne asked, “Weren’t you supposed to meet with Collin today? How did it go? Are things moving forward with you two?” A shadow passed over Haven’s face as she heard the question.
Driven by pride, she covered up the truth. “He had to handle some urgent business at his company, so he left right after lunch,” she replied, then swiftly diverted the conversation. “Let’s focus on investigating Dolores.”
Joanne sighed in resignation. “Understood, but what’s Dolores’ connection to Collin?”
Haven chose not to respond.
Meanwhile, Collin carefully placed Linsey in the back seat of his car.
Dolores, following closely, quickly said, “I’ll sit next to Linsey.”
“Alright, I’ll take the wheel,” Collin responded, easing Linsey down before heading to the driver’s seat.
Dustin, left with little choice, settled into the passenger seat.
As he observed Collin’s strained features, it was clear that his feelings for Linsey remained profound.
