Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125 I Failed To

Keep Linsey Safe

Collin was just about to step inside when Josh, ever the dutiful butler, informed him, “Mr. Riley, Mrs. Riley’s friend has

arrived.”

The living room crackled with tension. Collin’s brow furrowed as he surveyed the scene. “What’s with the grim faces?” he

asked.

Dolores‘ gaze snapped up at the sound of Collin’s voice.

Her eyes widened in surprise as they met Collin’s.

Could this impossibly handsome man truly be the Riley family’s notorious outcast?

Despite being confined to a wheelchair, Collin exuded an air of power and determination.

It was no wonder that Linsey, with her well–known penchant for attractive men, had fallen for him.

A flicker of confusion crossed Dolores’s face.

There was something strangely familiar about Collin.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that their paths had crossed before.

Dolores brushed the thought aside. “You’re Collin, I presume?” she said, her voice flat. “I’m Dolores Davidson, Linsey’s

close friend.”

Before Collin could utter a response, Dolores‘ expression hardened. “Linsey chose you, so it’s your responsibility to ensure her safety. Felix snatched her away, leaving her battered and bruised–all because you weren’t there to protect her,” she

accused.

Linsey’s jaw dropped. She was about to jump to Collin’s defense.

She was a grown woman, after all. Why would she require constant protection?

This whole ordeal was Felix’s fault, not Collin’s.

In fact, Collin had swooped in just in the nick of time to rescue her.

She shuddered to think what might have happened if he hadn’t been there.

Before Linsey could utter a word, Collin intervened. “You’re absolutely right,” he admitted, his voice laced with remorse. “I failed to keep Linsey safe.”

Collin’s unexpected confession stunned both Linsey and Dolores into silence.

“I promise, I’ll do everything in my power to protect Linsey from now on. I won’t let anything like this happen ever again,” Collin vowed, his voice resolute.

Observing the subtle shift in Dolores‘ expression, a softening around the edges, Linsey couldn’t help but release a quiet sigh
