Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334 Do You Think Ivy Will Accept Me

Linsey quickly caught on to Fernanda’s underlying motives.

As expected, Fernanda hesitated before asking, “Linsey, I was hoping you could lend me a hand? After all, you’re Ivy’s granddaughter–in–law.”

Linsey was ready to agree right away. It felt like her responsibility as part of the family to assist with something for Collin’s grandmother.

But before she could give her answer, Collin stepped in with a firm interruption. “Linsey hasn’t been feeling well recently, and she’s swamped with work. She simply doesn’t have the time.”

Without missing a beat, Collin ignored the growing irritation on Fernanda’s face and added, “If you’re struggling, you can always ask a few trusted staff members from Grandma’s. They’ve been with her for years and know her preferences well.”

Linsey’s gaze shifted, her thoughts in turmoil.

She understood that Collin was just trying to protect her from overdoing it.

But Ivy had always been the one who treated Collin with the most kindness in the Riley family, and Linsey couldn’t ignore

that. She knew she had to make an effort for her sake.

Without saying another word, Linsey reached out, gently taking Collin’s hand. “Let me do this,” she murmured.

Collin’s eyes met hers, and in that instant, he understood everything. Her determination was clear in the depth of her gaze.

He paused for a moment, then sighed quietly, his expression softening. “Alright,” he agreed, his voice tinged with

reluctance.

But his concern for her well–being remained.

“Take a few people with you,” Collin suggested, his voice steady but firm. “They’ll help out when needed. And if anyone

gives you trouble, don’t hesitate to handle it.”

His words were not only a piece of advice but also a silent challenge to Fernanda, whose authority he clearly didn’t respect.

Fernanda, visibly displeased but unable to express it openly, quickly made her exit from Vista Villa, realizing she had no

leverage left in the conversation.

The tension between them hung in the air as she left, her mind already plotting the next move.

As soon as Fernanda got into her car, her demeanor shifted dramatically. She seethed, muttering under her breath, “That ungrateful Collin! We’ve given him far too much leniency, and now he dares to challenge me? If he keeps this up, he’ll

have no one to blame but himself when I start playing hardball!”

A cold, calculating look crossed her face as her carefully laid plans came to the forefront of her mind.

Once Fernanda was gone, Linsey felt a slight relief, as though a burden had been lifted from her chest.

Even though she was well aware of the scheming that surrounded her, it was still hard for her to stay entirely composed.

With Ivy’s birthday just around the corner, Linsey couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of unease creeping in.
