Chapter 239 This Is Just Petty, Collin!
Collin’s face grew stern, and he grunted lowly, fixing Linsey with an intense stare. “Was that intentional, Linsey?” he asked.
She felt embarrassed upon realizing her accidental touch, her cheeks turning red.
She looked away, her voice filled with defiance. “Collin, it seems you’re the one twisting the story!”
Her conviction strengthened, Linsey faced him squarely, asserting, “You were the one who wouldn’t release me initially, that’s why this happened-”
She paused, searching for the right words, biting her lip out of frustration before demanding, “Release me this instant!”
She sat soaked, her swimsuit clinging to her frame.
By this point, Collin’s clothes were thoroughly drenched as well.
With a cold chuckle, Collin retorted, “You were playing games in the pool, making me think you were in trouble. We haven’t settled that yet, and now you ask to be freed? Not a chance.”
Linsey, taken aback, responded, “What do you mean? Didn’t we resolve this? You told me I only had to comply with one request from you, and we’d be even. It seems you’re still unsure what you want from me!”
“That’s a different matter,” Collin replied firmly. “You agreed to my request because you intentionally splashed water on me. Playing in the pool is a different issue altogether.”
Linsey stared at him, shocked by his persistent pettiness and attention to detail.
“This is just petty, Collin!” she exclaimed.
Unmoved, Collin raised an eyebrow. “Just realizing how petty I can be? You’ve stirred this up, and now luck isn’t on your side. Too bad. Even if you regret it now, it’s too late. I’m not releasing you.”
Linsey attempted to pull away again but to no avail.
Despite his physical limitations, Collin’s strength was formidable.
Feeling exhausted and desperate, Linsey finally questioned, “Alright, if this is a separate issue, what are you planning as
retaliation? Are you going to hit me or something?”
