Chapter 840

840:
Dolores pressed her lips together. “Me neither. He and Haven seem close, yet there’s this strange distance. He bought her a necklace worth $2.7 billion, but around us, he acts like she means nothing.”
She paused, then glanced at Linsey and added, “And today, when this happened to you, he looked so panicked that he left Haven behind. I don’t get it.”
Linsey stayed quiet, sadness clouding her eyes. “Dolores… Haven is the woman who walked out on Collin at their wedding. She humiliated him.”
Dolores’s eyes widened in shock. “What? Haven was the bride who left him? She embarrassed him like that, and he’s still so kind to her?”
As soon as the words slipped out, Dolores regretted them. She realized she had said too much.
Linsey gave a faint smile, trying to ease the moment. “It’s okay. I should’ve let go of the past. I was the one being foolish.”
“No, you weren’t!” Dolores said quickly, holding Linsey’s hand with care. “You loved Collin with all your heart, and he hurt you deeply. Now that you’re back in town, it’s only natural for your emotions to be everywhere. You’re human, Linsey. Feelings are messy. Don’t beat yourself up. Just take it one step at a time.”
Linsey looked into her eyes, moved by her words. Her throat tightened, and she nodded softly. “You’re right,” she whispered, her voice shaking.
Dolores seemed thoughtful for a while as she recalled the meal they had earlier, before adding, “However, just because Collin doesn’t hold a grudge towards Haven for running away from the wedding doesn’t necessarily mean that he likes her. It could be that he just doesn’t care. Gut reactions are often right. I believe he was just being polite to Haven. Nothing more.”

Linsey chuckled softly at this. “I never thought I’d see the day when you defend Collin,” she said.
Ever since the incident four years ago, Dolores’ attitude towards Collin had changed drastically. She hated him so much that she would have leaped with glee if CR Corporation were to collapse the next minute. This was probably the first time since all those years that Dolores had spoken of Collin without prejudice.
“I’m not defending him. I’m just telling you what I think. You know I’ll always side with you,” Dolores retorted.
Linsey smiled at this. Her once gloomy mood had lightened significantly because of Dolores.
A thought suddenly crossed Linsey’s mind, and she said, “Dolores, working with CR Corporation would be a great opportunity for the Davidson Group. You mustn’t throw that away because of the issues between me and Collin.”
“Come on. It’s not like CR Corporation is the only company we can work with,” Dolores said with a pout.
Linsey shook her head and retorted, “CR Corporation is currently the leading company in Grester and even nationwide. There are only a few companies that can be said to be at their level. You have to seize this opportunity!”
Seeing that Linsey brooked no argument on the subject, Dolores reluctantly agreed. “Fine. Let’s see what kind of project Collin wants to partner on before coming to a decision.”
