Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 120: He met Collin's gaze, eyes sharp with suspicion. "Which means Felix probably isn't working alone."

Collin's initial panic over Linsey's condition ebbed, giving way to a cold, calculating stillness. Felix alone couldn't have pulled this off. That much was certain.

The business park where Linsey worked had top-tier security. Random streetlight repairs, like the one tonight, were practically unheard of. This wasn't a coincidence-someone had orchestrated it.

Only a handful of people had the resources to execute something this precise. One name surfaced in Collin's mind-Huntley. Huntley himself wasn't particularly cunning, but with Fernanda backing him, there were no limits to what he could do. Before Collin could voice his thoughts, Dominic spoke first. "Could it be Gorman?"

When Collin heard that familiar name, his face immediately clouded over.

With growing certainty, Dominic declared, "In town, for every person trying to cozy up to you as the founder of CR Corporation, there's another trying to knock you down-especially Gorman. He's not only made blatant attempts to poach resources from CR Corporation, but he's also been probing your identity. He's likely tried to take you down more times than we can count. Could tonight's incident be his handiwork? Perhaps he unearthed something and orchestrated this as revenge?"

Collin's expression grew more severe.

He had spent years posing as the ineffectual eldest son of the Riley family, all the while shielding his true identity as the head of CR Corporation. This ruse was designed to divert the Rileys, but chiefly to dodge the plots of Gorman Green.

The persistent attacks from Gorman were one matter, but if Linsey was being dragged into this mess, Collin would not stand for it!

Drawing in a deep breath, he spoke in a subdued tone. "I'm going to uncover who's behind this."

At that moment, Dominic's assistant tapped on the door and informed them, "Dr. Larson, the young lady should be waking up soon." Hearing this, Collin instantly put everything else out of his mind and made to check on Linsey.

Dominic swiftly stepped in front of him, his tone urgent. "You can't just walk out like that."

He cast a quick glance at Collin's legs and murmured, "Too many eyes are watching us here. For Linsey's safety, you can't let anyone see that your disability is merely a pretense."

Collin paused, absorbing the caution in Dominic's voice. "Understood," he murmured.

Inside the hospital room, Linsey slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry as she stared at the stark white ceiling, her mind clouded with confusion.

Where was she? What just happened? Why couldn't she remember anything?

A faint frown formed on her brow.

Suddenly, a voice filled with relief spoke from beside her. "You're awake."

A hand reached toward her forehead.

As soon as Linsey saw the hand, she flashed back to the image of Felix lunging at her.

"Ah!" Linsey's heart raced with panic, and she quickly pushed herself up, scooting back. She didn't even notice the needle slipping from her hand. "Don't come near me! Stay away!"

The nurse, taken aback by the sudden outburst, asked, "What's wrong?"

The sight of the unfamiliar nurse's face heightened Linsey's anxiety. She shook her head, her eyes wide with terror. "Don't come any closer!" she cried out hoarsely.

The nurse, noticing the blood starting to drip from Linsey's hand, stepped forward. "Please calm down. You're bleeding. I need to treat your wound."
