Chapter 161 He''ll Protect


    Me


    Unfazed by the scar-faced man''s menacing threats, Linsey grew bolder.


    With an impassive expression, she retorted, "The Wade family holds considerable sway in Grester. I''m just an ordinary person; naturally, I wouldn''t dare to cross them. But if you think you can harm anyone here, don''t expect me to stand idly


    by."


    Linsey paused, then added forcefully, "Let me be clear-I''m not making threats. If you''re willing to face the repercussions of escting this situation, then be my guest. You''ll only be giving me more ammunition to use against you."


    "You little bitch! Let me..." The scar-faced man, consumed by rage, lunged towards Linsey.


    Witnessing this, one of hisckeys frantically grabbed his arm, his face pale with fear. "Hold on, boss! We need to stay calm!" he pleaded.


    Already furious, the scar-faced man spun around and pped theckey hard. "You idiot! How dare you stop me? Do you


    have a death wish?" he roared.


    Theckey yelped in pain, clutching his head. "Boss, we need to keep this under wraps, or we''re screwed!"


    The scar-faced man knew this all too well. Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down, though his anger still


    simmered beneath the surface.


    Theckey cautiously gauged his boss''s expression before suggesting, "Maybe we should back off for now ande up with a different n. Linsey and Collin can''t be here every day."


    "Fine," the scar-faced man spat, his voice dripping with malice. Before leaving, he shot Linsey a venomous re. "This isn''t over. Next time I see you, you''ll regret this!"


    Linsey dismissed his threats. Watching them finally depart from the orphanage, she breathed a sigh of relief.


    She hurried over and firmly shut the orphanage door.


    She initially thought that given their aggressive demeanor, her words wouldn''t be enough to deter them.


    But it seemed they were constrained by their own internal issues.


    She was grateful for the sudden inspiration to bring Collin along that day. Otherwise, who knew how E would have dealt


    with them.


    Just then, E emerged, her face etched with worry. “Linsey, you were too impulsive back there. Those men saw you; they know your name and who you are. Especially that one with the scar, he''s bad news. You made an enemy of him because of


    us, and he won''t forget it."


    Seeing the concern in E''s eyes, Linsey offered a reassuring smile. “E, don''t worry about me. I''m not alone; there''s no


    need to be afraid."

    She turned to Collin with a smile. "After all, my husband is here. He''ll protect me," she said.


    Collin''s lips curved into a slight smile. He reached out and took her hand, his grip firm. Turning to E, he promised, “E,


    don''t worry. I won''t let anything happen to Linsey."


    Seeing the sincerity in Collin''s eyes, E felt some of her anxiety dissipate.


    Linsey nced at the closed door. “E, we can''t just sit here and do nothing. Now that those thugs are gone, we need to


    call the police before theye back."


    E sighed, her expression troubled. "It won''t do any good. I''ve called the police before, but they didn''t lift a finger. I even


    tried contacting the media, but the reporters were all paid off. Nothing ever came of it."
