Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297 Zane Lincoln

Riley continued, “Since then, every word you say, I wonder whether it’s true or false.

“That’s not the kind of relationship I want. I’ve said it before–I want a partner I can truly trust, someone I can believe in and stand by at all times.”

Sebastian stepped closer. “Then let’s rebuild that trust. I will make you trust me again!”

Riley smiled bitterly.

If trust were so easy to build, how could there be so many unexpected betrayals in this world?

“Sebastian, I can’t-” Before Riley could finish,

Sebastian’s finger pressed against her lips.

“Don’t say it. For the sake of the help I gave you today, don’t say it,” he said softly.

He was afraid that if she said it, even his hope would be

gone.

nothing else, I’ll head back to the hotel now.”

Just as she turned around, Sebastian suddenly embraced her from behind.

“Riley, no matter what you think about our relationship, I will help you find Samuel. No matter what it takes, I will help you find him. So—”

He paused, holding her tighter. “Don’t put yourself in danger. If there’s ever a risky situation, let me handle it. I will get the information and clues you need!”

“Sebastian, you don’t need to do this,” Riley said, trying to loosen his arms.

“Riley, I promised you–I can be your spear and shield, your support, and I can even be used by you however you see fit, as long as you need me…”

Riley suddenly felt as if something heavy were pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe.

After Riley was back, Vince immediately asked, 276

“No,” Riley said.

“That’s good.” Vince then said somewhat

self–reproachfully, “I wasn’t prepared enough today. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have needed Sebastian’s help.”

“Ultimately, it was my recklessness,” Riley said.

But when it came to Samuel, even if she knew there was danger, she couldn’t help herself. She just wanted to catch up to that person and confirm whether it was Samuel or not.

That night, Riley lay in bed with her eyes closed, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

Suddenly, her eyes snapped open. “No! Samuel!”

What greeted Riley was dim darkness. She then realized she had been having a nightmare. In the dream, Samuel was constantly being humiliated and bullied, and she

couldn’t save him.

Abruptly, Riley jolted and sat up–there was someone in her room!

She turned her head and saw a figure sitting on the sofa beside her bed.

Sebastian?!

Even though the room was dark, the faint moonlight through the window was enough for her to recognize who it was from his silhouette.

“Did you have a nightmare?” That familiar voice sounded in the room.

Riley let out a sigh of relief and turned on the bedside lamp. The room instantly brightened, and Sebastian’s face came clearly into view.

“Why are you in my room?” Riley asked, startled.

“I wanted to bring you some documents, but you were asleep when I arrived,” he said, simply sitting there, greedily watching her sleeping face.

In the past, he could see her every day, hold her, kiss her, share a bed with her, and even fall asleep holding her hand.

asleep had become a luxury for him. He often needed medication to sleep.

Riley pressed her lips together. “So, you got my room key from the hotel staff and let yourself in?”

Sebastian lowered his head. “Sorry.”

“If you were really sorry, you wouldn’t have entered my room without my permission.”

A trace of sadness flashed in Sebastian’s eyes. “Alright, I won’t do it again.”

“What documents did you want to give me?” Riley asked.

“Information about that man,” Sebastian said, handing a file to Riley.

Riley quickly took it and looked down at the documents.

The first page featured a photo of the man, identical to the one she saw in the elevator.

The man was the heir of the Lincoln family, who had immigrated from the U.S. to Russia.

Zane Lincoln, the eldest son recognized three years ago, was originally an illegitimate child and only returned to his family three years ago. In the three years since his return, his status in the Lincoln family had gradually

risen.

As for Zane’s experiences during those three years, it seemed as if they had been deliberately erased. The family publicly claimed that Zane had grown up in a small town and was only acknowledged as the heir after the original successor died unexpectedly.

Riley fell into deep thought as she read the documents.

Illegitimate child? Recognized three years ago…

Since Sebastian dug up this information, it’s highly reliable.

But Zane’s background in the documents has nothing to do with Samuel…
