Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78 You’re Playing With Fire, Man

Collin’s response was sharp, his brow furrowing deeply as he huffed, “Cut the nonsense, Dustin.”

He knew Dustin was implying that he had been intimate with Linsey.

But truth be told, they hadn’t had sex yet, and he was determined not to let anyone, not even Dustin, joke about it.

Dustin’s face fell, his playful smirk fading into a look of mild disappointment. He hadn’t anticipated Collin’s complete lack of sexual enthusiasm.

In Dustin’s eyes, Linsey was the epitome of allure, with a figure that could easily ensnare anyone’s desires.

Yet here was Collin, her own husband, seemingly immune to her charms.

To Dustin, this was hardly a shock–typical Collin, always the stoic.

Had Collin actually succumbed to Linsey’s beauty, Dustin would have been taken aback.

Switching topics with a flicker of curiosity lighting up his face, Dustin leaned in closer. “By the way, that necklace you gave

Linsey last night–how did she react? She must have been thrilled, right? Such a stunning piece it was.”

Collin shook his head with a hint of disbelief, his voice tinged with exasperation. “No. At first, she thought it was outrageously expensive and flat–out refused to accept it. I even had to threaten to toss it before she reluctantly agreed to

keep it.”

Dustin’s eyes widened in shock. “Seriously? A woman who thinks jewelry is too expensive?”

He squinted thoughtfully, rubbing his chin. “Maybe Linsey is just playing hard–to–get, you think?”

“No, that’s not it,” Collin replied, pressing his lips into a thin line. “She’s genuinely concerned about me squandering money and not being able to clear my debt.”

This revelation left Dustin utterly dumbfounded. “Debt? What kind of debt are you talking about?”

As Collin laid out the outrageous 100–million–dollar debt he had made up, Dustin burst into hearty laughter, clutching his

stomach. “I can’t believe it, Collin… Who would have thought you’d be the one to mess things up like that?”

Regaining his composure, Dustin leaned in, a playful smirk playing on his lips. “You know, if Linsey ever uncovers your lie,

you’re going to be in deep trouble. From what I’ve seen, the more innocent they are, the harder they fall when they

discover a betrayal. And Linsey? With her personality…”

Collin’s expression darkened at Dustin’s words. A frown creased his brow as he mulled over the implications. “She won’t

find out,” he declared with a hint of defiance.

After a brief pause, he added more quietly, “And even if she does, she won’t really care.”

“You’re playing with fire, man,” Dustin warned, shaking his head disapprovingly. “You’re still a beginner in matters like

these. Take my advice–come clean to her at your first opportunity, or you might end up regretting it.”

Collin’s frown deepened, his gaze dropping to the floor as he contemplated Dustin’s advice. After a moment of heavy silence, he murmured, “I see your point. I’ll think about it.”

Meanwhile, at the office, Linsey sneezed out of nowhere, catching herself off guard.

She scrunched her face in displeasure, hastily reaching for a tissue to dab at her nose. A niggling suspicion that someone might be slandering her wormed its way into her thoughts.

Little did she know, her instincts weren’t far off–Collin and Dustin were indeed talking about her.

Almost reflexively, her eyes flicked towards Cynthia.

Linsey caught her seemingly disengaged from her work, huddled with a few colleagues. They were chatting with enthusiasm, sneaking glances at her every so often.
