Chapter 78 You''re ying 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 yful smirk fading into a look of mild disappointment. He hadn''t anticipated Collin''spleteck 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 sumbed 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 ne you gave
Linseyst 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 t-out refused to ept 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 ying 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 revtion left Dustin utterly dumbfounded. "Debt? What kind of debt are you talking about?"
As Collinid out the outrageous 100-million-dor debt he had made up, Dustin burst into heartyughter, 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 hisposure, Dustin leaned in, a yful smirk ying 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 dered 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 ying with fire, man," Dustin warned, shaking his head disapprovingly. "You''re still a beginner in matters like

these. Take my advicee 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 contemted 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 ndering 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 nces at her every so often.
Linsey''s brows knitted together in irritation.
It seemed some people never learned their lesson, continuing to fuel the gossip about her.
Deciding to rise above the petty office politics, Linsey submerged herself back into her workload.
However, her attempt at focus was abruptly interrupted when Coen approached her desk, his face etched with gravity. "Linsey,e to my office," he stated firmly.
As she rose from her chair, Linsey''s eyes inadvertently met Cynthia''s across the room. The sight of Cynthia''s self-satisfied smirk sent a shiver of anxiety through her.
What on earth could be going on?
