Chapter 844
844:
Collin adjusted his coat, which had grown disheveled from the earlier commotion, and sarcastically said, “I suppose I should thank you for bringing me such wonderful news, shouldn’t I?”
Gorman glared furiously at him. His wall of arrogance came crumbling down under Collin’s verbal attack. “Have you no shame, Collin?” he asked.
Gorman had never in his wildest thoughts imagined that Collin, the snobbish, arrogant founder of CR Corporation, would stoop so low as to say something like that.
He had gone to such great lengths to orchestrate this whole thing with the mindset that Collin would not engage with him, yet Collin was refusing to back down.
Collin turned as though to leave, then suddenly paused, as though something had just crossed his mind. “Linsey’s daughter is a wonderful girl. I don’t see anything of you in her. That’s probably a blessing for her,” he remarked casually.
“Collin!” Gorman hissed through his teeth. By now, the veins on his forehead were visible.
He watched hatefully as Collin took his leave.
It seemed the only way to win was to make sure Collin disappeared—permanently.
Collin, on the other hand, confidently walked out of the hospital. It wasn’t until he was in his car that the weight of what happened came crashing down on him.
He closed his eyes as Gorman’s words continued to echo in his head. He couldn’t bring himself to accept that Zenia was Linsey and Gorman’s daughter.
Collin felt a crushing weight on his chest as his mind cast him back to four years ago when he and Linsey were still together.

Back then, they had both wanted a child of their own.
Unfortunately, things had not gone as planned, and even when they had parted ways, Linsey had not conceived.
Now, however, it seemed like fate had smiled on Linsey, and she now had a lovely and well-behaved daughter.
Collin couldn’t help but smile bitterly at the irony of the situation. Still, Linsey’s daughter was just as beautiful as he had always imagined she would be.
Each time he saw Zenia, it was as though he was looking at a younger version of Linsey.
Collin finally realized that it wasn’t just Linsey who had been affected by what had happened four years ago. He, too, was in a constant state of regret because of it.
Perhaps if he had told Linsey the truth earlier, their marriage wouldn’t have ended.
He and Linsey might have had a daughter of their own by now.
As Collin continued to drown in his misery, a call came in, dragging him back to reality.
He sighed, then pulled out his phone and answered the call.
“Collin! Collin! I just saw your son!” Dustin screamed excitedly the moment the call connected.
Collin, annoyed that Dustin would joke about something so sensitive, said, “I’ll give you one more chance to say something serious.”
