Chapter 159 How Could He Stoop So Low
"About two weeks ago," E began, "apany decided they wanted thisnd. They''ve got some big development project in mind and they''ve been putting immense pressure on us to relocate. I refused, of course, and ever since, they''ve been
making our lives hell, showing up constantly to cause trouble."
Linsey''s brow furrowed with concern. "So, those injuries you have..." She trailed off, her voiceced with worry. "Are those from those people?"
"They''re obnoxious and pushy. But they haven''t resorted to actual violence. I got hurt trying to stop them from damaging some of the orphanage property." She let out a sigh. "I didn''t want to tell you before because, well, I didn''t want to upset
you."
A wave of concern washed over Linsey. "E, how could you keep something like this from me? This is serious!"
As Linsey spoke, her frustration grew palpable. Her hands clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white.
"Those heartless bastards!" Linsey eximed, her voice rising with anger. "Can''t they see this is an orphanage? That there
are children here with nowhere else to go?"
She paused, taking a deep breath to regain herposure. Gripping her jaw, she asked, "Do you know whichpany is
behind this?"
E sighed, a look of defeat crossing her face. "I''ve heard it''s Dustin Wade who''s pulling the strings."
Collin''s eyes widened in surprise. Dustin? He couldn''t believe it.
How on earth was Dustin mixed up in this mess?
Suddenly, a memory shed through Collin''s mind. The plot ofnd he had given
to Dustin a while back... It all clicked into
ce.
A shadow passed over Collin''s face, his brow furrowing in concern.
Linsey''s eyes widened in disbelief. "Dustin Wade? He''s the one doing this?"
Dustin was the public face of CR Corporation, a well-known figure in the business world.
Linsey had briefly encountered Dustin during a job interview at CR Corporation. They had exchanged a few pleasantries,
nothing more.
Even back then, Linsey had gotten a bad vibe from him. She had sensed that he wasn''t exactly a man of integrity, but she never imagined he was capable of such a heartless scheme.
"How could he stoop so low?" Linsey fumed, her voice shaking with anger. "This is outrageous! I''m going to give him a piece of my mind!"

Chapter 159 How Could He Stoop So Low
She made to storm out, but E gently ced a hand on her arm, stopping her.
"Linsey, wait!” E eximed, turning to both Linsey and Collin. "You both need to hide. I''ll deal with these thugs.
Linsey shook her head resolutely. "Absolutely not! Your injuries were clearly inflicted by them. And it seems they''ve been causing problems for some time. With the children present, how can I possibly hide?"
With a determined glint in her eyes, Linsey ced aforting hand on E''s shoulder. "Don''t worry, I''ll handle this."
Linsey turned towards the door, but Collin''s strong hand suddenly grasped her wrist.
"Hold on," Collin interjected calmly.
Linsey turned back, assuming he intended to stop her.
Before she could speak, Collin said softly, "We''re in this together. Let''s face them together-push me out there."
Linsey hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded in agreement.
A surge of warmth coursed through her.
E observed with surprise. A small smile touched her lips as Linsey pushed Collin''s wheelchair towards the door.
However, her smile quickly faded, reced by a worried frown.
She recalled Linsey mentioning that her husband was just an average man.
They were faced with the menacing Wade family. Could they truly handle this situation?
Linsey pushed Collin outside, and they were met with the sight of the leader of the men in ck furiously berating the
teachers and children cowering in the corner.
"Tell me where that old woman is hiding!" the man with a menacing scar snarled. "If you don''t talk, you''ll face the
consequences!"
Tears of terror streamed down the faces of the children huddled in the corner.
As the men in ck moved to advance, Linsey''s voice rang out, firm and resolute. "Stop right where you are!"
