Chapter 168 Do You Two


    Know Each Other


    “Ah, I understand now," Linsey said, finally grasping the situation.


    Ten billion dors! If she were in Dustin''s shoes, she would be groveling, not just offering a simple apology.


    "So, when you meet Dustin, he''ll definitely apologize. If you have any requests, just let him know. He''ll agree to anything,"


    Collin assured her.


    A blush crept onto Linsey''s cheeks. "Honestly, as long as he doesn''t cause any further trouble for the orphanage, I''ll be satisfied. I''m just concerned that if we don''te to an agreement, he might be hostile and retaliate."


    Collin reassured her, "You''re the one who salvaged Dustin''s ten-billion-dor project. Believe me, you hold all the cards-


    he wouldn''t dare to retaliate."


    Despite Collin''s assurances, Linsey couldn''t shake off a lingering sense of unease. Nevertheless, she hesitantly nodded in


    agreement.


    "Understood," Linsey conceded.


    Confusion washed over her. Collin''s words implied a certain familiarity with Dustin.


    Most people would be at least slightly intimidated by the mention of Dustin. Yet, Collin appearedpletely unfazed.


    But then again, Linsey reminded herself, Collin always exuded an air of authority.


    Perhaps this was simply the inherent pride of the Riley family''s eldest son.


    Linsey decided to dismiss the thought.


    Meanwhile, Dustin had been waiting at the orphanage for a considerable amount of time. A sudden sneeze erupted from


    him, apanied by an unexpected shiver.


    He frowned, an inexplicable sense of foreboding washing over him.


    Could Collin be intending to exploit this situation to extort money from him?


    The sound of a car pulling up outside finally broke the silence.


    Dustin immediately approached and saw Linsey apanied by Collin, who was seated in a wheelchair.


    Recalling that he was supposed to feign ignorance of Collin''s identity, Dustin disregarded him and extended a hand


    towards Linsey with a warm smile. “Linsey, it''s a pleasure to see you again.”


    In the blink of an eye, Collin seized Dustin''s wrist in a firm grip.


    "I''d be careful where you put those hands," Collin cautioned, his voice low and menacing.

    "Ah!" Dustin yelped in pain, his face contorting in agony. As he met Collin''s cial gaze, his heart skipped a beat.


    He yanked his hand away from Collin''s grasp, rubbing his wrist with a grimace. "It was just a damn handshake! Was that


    really necessary?"


    Collin let out a harsh snort. "Your grubby hands aren''t fit to touch my wife," he stated coldly.


    Dustin''s eyes widened in surprise. He hadn''t anticipated Collin''s intense jealousy.


    Still rubbing his wrist, Dustin nced at Linsey, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Linsey, have you and Collin always been


    this... close?" he asked, deliberately needling Collin.


    Before Linsey could answer, Collin cut him off sharply. "Enough with the


    pleasantries, Dustin. Don''t forget why you''re here."


    Dustin rolled his eyes, clearly irritated by Collin''s possessive behavior.


    Collin, Dustin thought, put his wife over his friends.


    Linsey watched the exchange, a nagging feeling that something wasn''t quite right tickling her senses.


    "Do you two know each other?" Linsey asked, her curiosity piqued.


    Dustin nced at Collin, ignoring the warning re he received. He turned to


    Linsey, a wide, almost too-friendly smile stered on his face. "Of course we know each other!" he eximed. "Didn''t Collin tell you? We''re friends. I''m here today


    because of him..."


    Collin''s expression immediately hardened, his icy gaze fixed on Dustin.
