Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209 I Think I Twisted My Ankle

Collin was momentarily frozen, but then he quickly spun his wheelchair around, intent on chasing after Linsey. Kylee, however, stepped directly into his path.

“Collin… Kylee called out.

His expression darkened immediately, his voice cold and commanding. “Move.”

Kylee’s eyes widened, her shock quickly giving way to fresh tears that streamed down her face.

Her features twisted in a mix of confusion and hurt. “Collin, what’s happening to you?”

She sniffled, her voice small and fragile. This was the first time that he had ever shown anger toward her since their

childhood.

Suppressing the reluctance gnawing at her, Kylee bit her lip and quickly transformed her expression into one of pitiful distress. “Collin, I can’t stand… I think I twisted my ankle. It hurts so much.”

At the sound of her voice, Collin paused, his eyes flickering with realization. In the heat of the moment, he had pushed Kylee down.

He took a deep breath, steadying himself, then turned to his subordinate. In a calm but firm tone, he instructed, “Help Kylee up and take her to the hospital. Be discreet–don’t let the media catch wind of this.”

“Yes, Mr. Riley,” the subordinate replied, moving quickly to assist Kylee.

Reluctantly, Kylee watched, helpless, as Collin wheeled away, leaving her behind.

She fumed inwardly. “Damn you, Linsey! How dare you play the victim in front of Collin? What a shameless bitch!”

“Miss Russell, are you okay?” Collin’s subordinate asked, his voice full of concern as he noticed the sour expression on her face.

She shot him a brief glance, then carefully masked her irritation with a calm smile. “Yes, thank you.”

After all, he was Collin’s subordinate, and she had to maintain a certain image. The last thing she needed was for Collin’s people to start badmouthing her. That would ruin everything.

Meanwhile, Linsey hadn’t gotten far. She had only distanced herself enough to escape the painful sight of Collin with

another woman.

At that moment, Linsey was hidden away in the back garden of the villa, crouched in a secluded corner, tears falling freely. After being betrayed by Felix and Joanna, she had closed herself off from love, from trusting men.

a short time. How could she ever hope to compete for a real place in his heart?

“Linsey, are you there?”

She couldn’t face Collin right now.
