Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 619: Collin already knew what was on Dustin's mind. "Linsey has never cared about Gorman. No matter what he does, it won't change anything. Just ignore him," Collin responded.

Dustin pouted but eventually relented. "Fine. Since he didn't accept the invitation, he'll see the news online soon enough and get the message." Then, as if remembering something, his tone brightened. "Oh! I almost forgot-Dilan's coming back soon! Let's call Dominic too and head to the airport to pick him up!"

"Of course," Collin said without hesitation.

Dilan Scott was one of their childhood friends, and the bond between them had always been strong. But in recent years, Dilan had been busy building his career overseas. Hearing about Collin's upcoming proposal, however, had prompted him to return early-just in time for the CR Corporation's annual gala. Dustin chuckled. "I spoke to Dilan the other day. He's dying to hear your love story with Linsey! He won't let you off the hook."

Collin couldn't help but smile. Just thinking about Linsey softened his usually cold demeanor. "There's not much to tell. I'll introduce her to him when we meet."

Dustin groaned. "Collin, you only care about Linsey! You're so focused on introducing her to Dilan that you're ignoring the real issue-he wants the full story! And it's not just him! Dominic and I want to hear it too!"

Before Dustin could go on, Collin ended the call without hesitation. Yet, despite his usual aloofness, a faint smile lingered on his lips.

The CR Corporation's annual gala was just around the corner. Soon, Collin would finally explain everything to Linsey in person.

The thought made his heart beat a little faster. Would she be surprised? Would she be happy? Collin found himself wondering how she would react when the moment arrived.

Time passed quickly, and soon, the day of the annual gala arrived. The event was scheduled to begin at six in the evening. To allow the employees enough time to prepare, an official notice declared the entire day work-free. In other words, it was practically a holiday-much to everyone's delight.

At two in the afternoon, the women in Linsey's department planned to visit a nearby salon to get ready together.

???????????????????????? сһα???????????????????? ????????????????????ν????????????․????????????

"Linsey, want to come with us?" a colleague asked.

Linsey smiled and nodded. "Sure, I'll join you."

Unlike the others, who were excited about the glitz and glamour, Linsey was more curious about what surprise Collin had prepared for her. Whatever it was, she figured she wouldn't find out until after the gala-once they were home.

Just then, she received a message from Collin. "Linsey, I've prepared an evening gown and some jewelry for you. They'll be delivered to your office soon. Don't forget to pick them up."

After reading Collin's message, Linsey's eyebrows shot up in surprise. Had he really gone through the trouble of picking out a dress just for her? Earlier, she had agreed to join her coworkers at the salon to get her hair and makeup done that afternoon.

Suddenly, a colleague approached her. "Linsey, there's a package at the front desk for you. They're asking if you could pick it up yourself."
