Chapter 248 It''s A Trivial Injury


    "Mr. Riley! What happened to you?" Collin''s assistant noticed the pallor on his face and stepped forward quickly, concern


    etching his features.


    Collin frowned as he shifted his arm awkwardly. "It''s nothing to worry about. Just got nicked by a rock, so it''s a bit tender."


    The assistant''s face grew solemn as he inspected the injury.


    "This could be a minor fracture," he stated with concern. "We need to get you to a hospital immediately."


    Collin waved off the concern with a shake of his head. "It''s a trivial injury. We''ve got urgent matters to attend to, and I


    don''t have time for the hospital right now."


    He took a casual look at his arm, feeling a dull ache. "I''ve handled far worse on my own. This isn''t much. Just get someone


    to wrap it up. We need to focus on sorting out Linsey''s issue first."


    He gave a subtle nod, signaling his team member to push his wheelchair.


    The ruse of disability was a burden. Had he not been feigning, he might have better protected Linsey.


    He made a silent vow to one day stand unaided before Linsey, strong and dependable.


    The assistant paused, tempted to argue, but Collin''s icy stare silenced him.


    "Understood," the assistant responded.


    Having known Collin''s fearless ascent to power, he and his colleagues were aware of his relentless spirit.


    Their concern was palpable, yet their attempts to persuade him were always in vain.


    At that moment, Linsey came to the assistant''s mind.


    She might be the only one who could sway Mr. Riley.


    Regrettably, Linsey was not there to make her case.


    With a resigned shake of his head, the assistant sighed deeply.


    Soon, Collin and his assistant made their way to the car.


    The assistant fetched a first-aid kit from the vehicle and pulled out a bandage.


    Once settled inside, Collin nonchntly slipped off his jacket and began deftly wrapping his arm.


    It wasn''t until Collin removed his shirt that the subordinate caught sight of the extensive injuries on his back-wounds of varying sizes, all incurred while shielding Linsey.

    The sight of these severe scars left the assistant stunned.


    The ferocity of the attack by those crazed fans was shocking-weren''t they terrified of legal repercussions?


    "Mr. Riley, those attackers crossed a line. It''s fortunate you were there to guard Mrs. Riley. The thought of her being injured


    is unthinkable..."


    The assistant''s words mirrored Collin''s own trepidations.


    Had he not been at Linsey''s side, she could have sustained serious injuries.


    A flicker of rage crossed Collin''s eyes; he vowed silently not to let the aggressors off easily.


    Nheless, Collin''s voice remained steady as he spoke. "Those assants aren''t mere fans. How else could they have


    located us?"


    With a narrowing of his eyes and a sneer, he added, "It seems we have a traitor among us."


    The assistant reacted with rm. "A traitor? I assure you, I''ll get to the bottom of this."


    Collin acknowledged with a nod. "Drive on. We need to confront Jude Todd, the designer who''s using Linsey of


    giarism."


    "Yes, Mr. Riley."
