Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 681

Chapter 681 Are You Ready To Face Collin

Linsey lowered her gaze, eyes lingering on the closed door, then asked quietly, “Did Gorman hint that I have to be at

tomorrow night’s banquet?”

Dolores’s tone shifted, becoming more serious. “Yes. Before I left, he mentioned it more than once. And just now, he texted me again, stressing how important it is that you go.”

A chill ran through Dolores as she added, almost to herself, “I don’t get it. Why is Gorman so set on having you there? I asked around earlier–the banquet is completely optional. Designers aren’t required to attend. The follow–up work will be

handled by the company reps anyway.”

Linsey’s eyes narrowed slightly. She let out a quiet sigh. “I really thought Gorman might’ve changed over the years. But he’s still the same–always overthinking things. That said, he’s helped me a lot over the past four years. I can’t fault him too

much.”

Dolores hesitated, then asked, “So… Have you figured out why he’s doing this?”

Linsey didn’t think long before answering softly, “He probably wants to see if I still have feelings for Collin.”

Dolores was silent for a few seconds before gently asking, “Do you?”

That question made Linsey pause.

After a moment, her voice came low and a little unsteady. “Dolores, I won’t lie to you. I don’t even know myself. It’s been four years. I should’ve moved on, but somehow… I just haven’t.”

Dolores felt a tightness in her chest hearing that. After a beat, she reminded her, “Do you remember what you said when I first brought up the design competition? You were so sure of yourself. I asked if you were worried about seeing Collin again, and you told me your dreams mattered more than your ex–husband ever could.”

Linsey let out a laugh, light and surprised. “Did I really say something that bold?”

“You did. So, there’s no need to be afraid of running into him. If it happens, it happens. It’s not like he can kick us out of

town.”

At that, both women fell silent for a moment.

Now that Collin’s identity as the founder of CR Corporation was public, and his influence in Grester had only grown, they

both knew that technically, he probably could.

“Okay, maybe I was wrong. Maybe we should be avoiding him,” Dolores mumbled.

Linsey tried to hold back a laugh. “I doubt he’d go as far as to drive us out of town.”

Still, her tone shifted, tinged with worry. “What I’m scared of is him finding out about the kids. What if he learns that I

gave birth to them in secret? With his power, if he wants to fight me for custody, I’m afraid I won’t stand a chance.”

Chapter 681 Are You Ready To Face Collin

Dolores grew tense. “Zenia wouldn’t be much of an issue. She doesn’t look like him–she takes after you. claim she’s someone else’s daughter, just to throw him off. But Zander…”

You could even

Her voice dropped. “That’s the problem. He looks just like Collin. And he even has a few of your features too. If Collin sees him, there’s no way he won’t get suspicious.”

She hesitated, then added, “Remember when Caylee took Zander to the play area at the restaurant? Dustin saw him and mentioned how much he looked like Collin. That can’t happen again. We have to keep Zander away.”

“I know. Even if I do go to the banquet, the kids will stay at the hotel. Caylee can watch over them,” Linsey said with a nod.

Dolores paused, a bit surprised. “So… You’re really going? Are you ready to face Collin?”
