Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1362: With no one else in the room, Kylee spoke bluntly. "You know I've loved Collin for years. I can't let him end up with someone else. If you're willing to hide that woman's identity from him, I promise you won't regret it." Lowell's brows drew together slightly, his silence making his thoughts unreadable. After a pause, he stepped back and answered in a low voice, "I'm sorry. I can't do that." "Why not?" Kylee's tone grew urgent.

"I can pay you more than Collin ever will." "Miss Russell..." "Would $3 million be enough?" Kylee stated her offer, and when he gave no reaction, she clenched her jaw and raised it. "Five million." To someone like Lowell, five million was an impossible dream. Even so, he stood his ground. "I'm sorry, Miss Russell. I won't betray Mr. Riley. I hope you can understand." He gave a short bow before turning away from her. Kylee's expression turned cold. If Lowell walked out now, Collin would soon learn the identity of the woman who had been with him that night.

In a burst of desperation, she yelled, "Does it mean nothing to you whether your mother lives or dies?" Lowell stopped abruptly, his body stiff. When she caught his reaction, Kylee's lips curved into a sly smile and she stepped forward. "I heard your mother is suffering from a rare illness and needs a leading surgeon to operate, isn't that right?" Lowell's eyes widened in shock. "How did you find out?"

"Your mother is in my hospital, and Collin personally asked me to find the best doctor to save her." The intent behind her words was clear, and Lowell's face drained of color as he realized she was using his mother's condition to corner him. Kylee dropped the sweet facade, her tone turning sharp. "I'd rather not take things this far, but you left me no choice. Decide now. Will you stay loyal to Collin, or will you save your mother?" A short while later, Lowell walked in with Kylee, his expression ice-cold. Collin sat at the dining table, his gaze fixed on the view outside.

"Collin," Kylee greeted him softly, her smile gentle. Turning his head, Collin spoke in a low, steady voice. "I just saw the two of you talking outside." Lowell's face went still for a fraction of a second, and Kylee felt an uneasy drop in her stomach. She quickly forced a relaxed smile and said, "Yes. I just finished a call outside and saw Lowell, so we talked for a moment." . . .
