Chapter 12 Why Doesn''t
She Fall For Me Instead
Collin gave Dustin a nk look. "What did Linsey say?"
Dustin''s grin widened, his eyes gleaming with mischief as he echoed Linsey''s earlier words. "She actually thought I was
into her and gave me a heads-up that she''s already married and they''re deeply in love with each other."
His excitement escted. "Did you catch that, Collin? Straight from Linsey''s mouth. In her view, you''re a cripple, right? Yet, she didn''t think twice about marrying you right outside that church. Odd, isn''t it? And now, barely a week into your
marriage, and you''re already head over heels? Seriously?"
After pausing for a moment, he went on, "Collin, we''ve been tight for more than two decades, and you''ve kept this massive news from me? Out with it. Is what Linsey imed true? You mean to tell me you''ve fallen for her this quickly?"
Dustin''s incessant chatter drew a scowl from Collin. "Fall
in love with her? Ridiculous. Cut it out."
Yet, Dustin onlyughed harder. "Yeah, yeah, it''s just Linsey talking. Someone as ruthless as you falling quickly for someone? Unlikely. But Linsey? Just a few days as your wife and she''s already this smitten with you?"
He furrowed his brow, genuinely confused. "Honestly,pared to you-a wealthy young man with a disability-here I am, single, fairly good-looking, and not to mention, wealthy. Why doesn''t she fall for me instead? How can she overlook my appeal? It doesn''t make any sense."
"Are you finished?" Collin asked, his brow furrowed in impatience. "I have no interest whatsoever in matters concerning her. If you continue to dy and hinder our work, I won''t be forgiving."
His stare pierced through the air with a dangerous sharpness.
Aware of Collin''s stern, business-focused demeanor, Dustin had no option but to quell his curiosity and ignite the engine.
A heavy silence soon enveloped the car.
Collin reclined in the back seat, his gaze drifting out the window, lost in thought.
He had dered his indifference to anything involving Linsey.
Yet, inexplicably, her words haunted his thoughts.
Linsey was convinced that he was a cripple, yet still epted him as her
husband, unswayed by Dustin''s attempts to charm her.
Could it be that she truly overlooked Dustin''s appeal?
As he mulled over this, a rare smile broke across Collin''s usually stoic face,
softening his entire expression.
Linsey feared the ident had ruined her chances of making it to the interview on time, 0.0%

Miraculously, no further incidents urred after the ident.
She reached CR Corporation right on time.
With a palpable sense of relief, Linsey settled in at the designated interview location.
Around her, a crowd had already begun to assemble outside the interview location.
"Have you heard? I overheard that the CEO of CR Corporation might grace today''s interview," murmured someone close to
Linsey, their voice barely a whisper.
Another candidate nearby couldn''t hide their astonishment. "Really? If that''s the case, we definitely need to treat this
interview with the utmost seriousness."
Linsey''s curiosity was piqued.
The CEO of CR Corporation? Could this really be the mysterious founder who single-handedly catapulted CR Corporation to
its pinnacle?
Her knowledge of him was confined to the snippets she found online; she had never encountered him face-to-face.
Suddenly, a voice cut through the mounting anticipation. "He''s arrived; he''s here! The CEO of CR Corporation has just
walked in!"
As a few employees passed by, they offered their respectful greetings to a man who had just entered. "Good morning, Mr.
Wade."
Driven by an irresistible urge, Linsey craned her neck, managing to glimpse the man at the center of everyone''s attention.
A group had formed a tight circle around him as he advanced.
Catching a clear view of his face, Linsey stood frozen, utterly taken aback.
