Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 633: Each word from Collin seemed to shatter her just a little more.

"That was exactly my reason," Collin continued quietly. "It also meant that, if things ever went wrong, divorce would be simple."

Linsey's face drained of color, and her knees buckled beneath her, nearly sending her to the floor.

Gorman, reacting instantly, caught her and pulled her into a protective embrace. His gaze softened as he looked down at her, concern and pain etched across his face. Glancing back at the door, his expression darkened, anger flickering in his eyes. The truth struck him with force. Collin's deception went beyond anything he could have imagined. Not only was Collin the founder of CR Corporation, but his supposed disability had also been a lie.

How could a man hide so much from the woman who loved him? In Gorman's eyes, Collin's actions seemed almost unforgivable.

Breathless, Linsey struggled to steady herself. She clung to Gorman's arm, her voice barely more than a whisper. "Let's go…"

Desperation filled her-she had to escape, to find some place far away from the bitter sting of Collin's words, somewhere she could regain her composure and breathe freely again.

Gorman gave a silent nod, supporting her as he gently guided her away from the scene.

Inside the room, the others remained oblivious to what was unfolding just outside. Dominic poured water for the group, casting a questioning look at Collin.

"Those were just your initial thoughts, weren't they?" he asked. "Tonight, you're making your intentions public. By revealing your identity as the founder of CR Corporation, you're making sure Linsey is respected and protected."

At the mention of Linsey's name, Collin's usually distant expression softened with unmistakable warmth.

"There's no question," Collin replied quietly. "Linsey means everything to me. I've made up my mind-she's the only one for me. There will never be anyone else."

Collin had meticulously planned every detail of his proposal for tonight, hoping that Linsey would be swept away by the surprise. He wanted to declare their love, not just to Grester, but to the entire world.

???????????????????????? ???????? ????????????????: ????????????????????????????????????﹒????????????

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Thinking about the evening ahead, a smile appeared on his face. He pulled out his phone, hesitating between calling Linsey or sending her a message. She had probably already received the elegant dress and jewelry he'd chosen and was likely busy getting ready.

Not wanting to disturb her, Collin decided to send a text:

Honey, do you like the dress?

But what Collin didn't realize was that Linsey was sitting in Gorman's car at that very moment, staring at his message with tears blurring her vision. A single tear dropped, smudging the loving nickname she'd saved for Collin in her phone.

Her heart felt unbearably heavy as she wondered why Collin kept sending such messages. Among all his sweet words, she could no longer tell which were genuine and which were just empty promises.
