Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1327: "Let go." She recoiled and yanked her hand back, her voice like ice. "How many times do I have to say it? Speak with your mouth, not your hands. And don't touch me. You're disgusting." Felix flushed with shame, but to her surprise, he didn't lash out. Instead, he quietly lowered his gaze and muttered, "I'm sorry. That was out of line." He took a deep breath, then finally revealed why he was there. "I'm in trouble, Linsey. I was working on a major project with CR Corporation, but it collapsed out of nowhere.

I invested everything into it, and now my company's about to go under." Linsey's face remained blank. "So?" Felix's voice grew more urgent. "You're part of a wealthy family now. Can't you give... no, could you please lend me $50 million? Just to keep the company afloat a little longer?" Linsey let out a cold, mirthless laugh, her eyes hard and void of compassion. "In your dreams." She wouldn't give Felix a single cent-not now, not ever.

Even if she had that kind of money-which she didn't-she would sooner give it to a stranger on the street than to Felix, the man who had shattered her without remorse. After shutting him down, she turned to leave. But Felix darted forward, blocking her path, his expression darkening with a desperate edge. "I've already swallowed my pride to ask for your help. Why are you still treating me like this?" "Pride?" Linsey arched a brow, a mocking smirk tugging at her lips. "Since when did you have any left to begin with?" Felix was rendered speechless, fury burning behind his eyes.

She didn't waste another breath on him and tried to walk away. But before she could get far, his voice rang out behind her, laced with rage and desperation. "You're forcing my hand, Linsey! Since you're not going to help me out, don't blame me for dragging you down with me!" Before she could react, he pulled a dagger from his pocket and lunged at her. Linsey barely had time to process what was happening. She tried to dodge, but it was already too late. Just as the cold gleam of the blade neared her, a powerful force shoved her aside.

Startled by the screams, Linsey snapped her head up-only to see Felix sprawled on the floor, unconscious. Someone had intervened... someone had saved her. She searched frantically for her rescuer. And then she saw him. A tall figure stood steady and unmoving-and Linsey froze, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Collin... You're not... disabled?" At the sound of her voice, Collin slowly turned around. . . .
