Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1259: For a moment, Huntley's cheerful expression slipped, but he quickly nodded in response. Kylee, eager to know more, asked, "Can you tell me what you know about his wife's background?" Huntley sneered. "His wife? She's just an orphan. What kind of background could she possibly have? To make things worse, she's already been married before." That revelation struck Kylee as ridiculous. "She had a husband before Collin?" Huntley confirmed with an easy nod, weaving a lie without the slightest hesitation. "Absolutely. She's nothing but trouble.

Just last night, she tried to entice me behind Collin's back, but I shut her down. After I refused, she turned around and accused me of harassment." As he thought back to the embarrassment of being forced to apologize to Linsey, Huntley's anger resurfaced. A scowl darkened his features as he continued, "I don't know what kind of tricks Linsey is playing on Collin, but he threatened me in public and made me apologize to her." The news left Kylee stunned, her eyebrows knitting together. Once she had gathered herself, she voiced her concern.

"Huntley, if someone like Linsey stays in the Riley family, she could stir up real trouble. I really think we need to find a way for Collin to divorce her." Huntley gave a quick nod. "I agree." Of course, his reason had nothing to do with Collin's well-being. All he wanted was payback for his own humiliation. When she saw his reaction, Kylee's eyes shone with new interest. "Do you already have a plan? Could I help?" Huntley cast a wary glance around, then leaned closer, covering his mouth to whisper the scheme in her ear. Once he finished, Kylee stared at him, clearly uncertain.

"That's what you came up with?" He straightened and asked sharply, "Isn't it good enough?"

"Did you think of something else?" This time, Kylee leaned in and whispered her own suggestion right into his ear. Huntley felt Kylee move closer of her own accord, his throat tightening as he swallowed hard. After she finished speaking, their eyes met across the space between them.

Huntley raised his thumb in approval and said, "Kylee, your plan is absolutely brilliant." "You're being too kind, Huntley. The idea just came to me suddenly," Kylee replied, her voice taking on a modest, almost bashful tone. However, as she lowered her head in feigned shyness, something cold and calculating flickered in her eyes. Linsey's background meant nothing to her now. She would tear Collin away from that woman, no matter what it took. Meanwhile, at Vista Villa, Linsey remained blissfully unaware of the plot brewing against her.

She sprawled comfortably across the sofa, scrolling lazily through her phone. Notifications from her work chat group kept pinging, messages from several colleagues flooding her screen. "Linsey, when are you planning to come back to work? Without you here, we're barely keeping our heads above water!" . . .
