Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1428: Yana's patience frayed, and she broke the tense silence. "Mr. Green, it's all out in the open now. You have to back me up!" Gorman's lips curled into a scornful, icy laugh. "You set Linsey up like that, and you still have the nerve to beg for my help?" His words struck Yana like a thunderbolt, leaving her momentarily speechless. He had clearly wanted Linsey gone from CR Corporation, singling her out from the start-so why was he so enraged? It almost seemed like he was defending her. Confusion swirled in Yana's mind as she cautiously tested the waters. "Did I...

did I get it wrong?" "What do you think?" Gorman turned, his eyes glinting with a chilling edge. Yana shrank under his piercing stare, her voice faltering. She scrambled for an explanation, but his intimidating presence cut her off. Then her thoughts drifted to Collin. Panic surged, and she lunged forward, clutching Gorman's hand in desperation. "Mr. Green, I only acted on your orders! I had no idea Linsey was Mr. Riley's girl. Now that it's all blown up, I've crossed Mr. Riley, and he'll never let me off.

Please, you have to-" Before she could finish, Gorman yanked his hand free, his expression growing even colder. "Who said Linsey was Collin Riley's girl? She's mine. Mine!" He ground out the words, each syllable sharp, as if ensuring she couldn't miss his claim. Yana's voice died in her throat, her eyes flooding with fear. "What did you just say?" she asked, her eyes widening in disbelief. Her mind reeled, clouded with confusion. Wasn't Linsey supposed to be Collin's? How had she suddenly become Gorman's? If Linsey was his, why had he instructed her to push her out of CR Corporation?

And why had Collin not only saved Linsey but flown into such a rage that he personally sent Winslow to the hospital?

I didn't want her at CR Corporation, so I asked you for a simple favor-to find a way to get her out." His face darkened further. "But I never imagined you'd be so ruthless as to try to destroy her completely!" Yana's voice trembled, tears brimming as she stumbled back, fear overtaking her.

She had come to Gorman for protection, only to realize she had provoked yet another powerful man. She was truly finished. Drawing a shaky breath, Yana forced herself to steady, mustering the courage to challenge him. "Mr. Green, you only told me to get Linsey out-you never specified how. I did what you asked, and she wasn't really hurt, just shaken up. So blaming me now doesn't hold water, does it?" . . .
