Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74 Perhaps I Misjudged Collin

As Dolores‘ declaration echoed in her ears, Linsey’s heart skipped a beat, her hand quivering with the shock, the gemstone dangling precariously between her fingers.

“What did you just say? A billion?” Linsey echoed, her voice dipping to a whisper, laden with disbelief and a trace of unease. She almost laughed in disbelief. A gemstone necklace worth a billion dollars? That was straight–up ridiculous!

Doubt clouded her thoughts, but the earnest look in Dolores‘ eyes suggested she wasn’t kidding.

Dolores, for her part, appeared just as baffled, quickly scrolling through her phone to pull up a recent article. “Check it out -it’s from last night’s charity auction in town,” she insisted, handing the phone to Linsey.

Linsey snatched up the phone and peered at the article. It was only then she realized that at the charity auction last night, the enigmatic founder of CR Corporation had bid a breathtaking one billion dollars for a gemstone necklace.

The necklace in the photo glistened with an intense brilliance, its appearance strikingly similar to the one she wore around

her neck.

“Something doesn’t add up here. How in the world did this end up with you?” Dolores leaned in, her brow furrowed in

thought.

Linsey’s brow furrowed, a mix of confusion and suspicion swirling within her. “It’s strange, isn’t it? People say the founder of CR Corporation is a mysterious figure. And yet, this necklace was auctioned last night by him, only to end up with Collin

who then gave it to me…”

Her voice trailed off as she exchanged a glance with Dolores, her thoughts tangling into a single, startling possibility.

Could Collin actually be the elusive founder of CR Corporation?

Just as the question hung in the air, Dolores’s eyes stretched wide in shock. “Oh my! Are you suggesting Collin handed you a counterfeit?” Her voice tinged with incredulity.

Linsey momentarily stiffened, the implication taking her by surprise. After a brief pause, she shook her head vigorously.

“No, that can’t be right. Collin wouldn’t do such a thing,” she asserted firmly, her faith in him unshaken.

Dolores, still skeptical, tilted her head thoughtfully. “But Linsey, think about it. Are you really saying that Collin might be the man behind CR Corporation? That sounded like pure madness! Not too long ago, I attended a business gathering and got a rare sighting of the CR Corporation’s founder. Though it was just his silhouette, the commanding presence he projected was unmistakable. There was nothing wrong with his legs, which meant there was no way he was Collin, the crippled man confined to a wheelchair.”

She paused to scrutinize the sparkling gemstone at Linsey’s neck once more. “Yet, looking at the vibrant hue and the exquisite cut of this gem, it doesn’t look like a fake at all.”
