Chapter 326 No One Will
Dare Underestimate You
Linsey pressed her hand against her chest and offered Collin a yful, teasing look.
Her luminous eyes sparkled with an adorable hint of reproach.
In response, Collin''sughter was a low, melodic chuckle as he exined, “I''m not actually as poor as they think. My
family might dismiss me, but I inherited a substantial sum from my grandmother and mother. Plus, I''ve been managing a
smallpany thesest few years, and it''s been quite lucrative. Technically, your husband stands pretty well-off in town."
With a knowing raise of his eyebrow, he continued, "How else do you suppose I afford living in thevish Vista Vi?
We''ve got a decent collection of cars in the garage too."
At that revtion, Linsey remained a bit stunned, her mind whirling. Unbeknownst to her, the "smallpany" Collin
referred to was none other than the globally acimed CR Corporation-the very firm where she was employed.
Even as she processed his words, she knew Collin''s life had always been absorbed by his work to the point of neglecting
meals and sleep.
If it weren''t for his business engagements, he likely wouldn''t have crossed paths with Dustin as often.
Still, Linsey couldn''t shake off her worries.
"But Collin, we can''t keep splurging like this," she protested gently. "A few of my former ssmates have been talking
behind my back-why should we hand out suchvish gifts?"
Her lips curled into a pout as she aired her grievances.
Collin couldn''t contain hisughter, hisrge hand affectionately tousling her hair.
"I hate seeing you deal with unnecessary troubles,” he exined with a gentle sincerity. "Now, no one will dare
underestimate you. That alone makes everything worth it."
Collin paused for a beat, his tonepletely serious. "I mean, it''s not like I can send all your old ssmates to jail, right?"
A smirk yed on Linsey''s lips as she yfully pped his arm. "Stop it, you''re being ridiculous."
The room filled with a lighter, more carefree air, washing away any lingering tension.
Then, a thought struck her, spurred by a news report she had caught earlier. She leaned in, her tone casual yet probing. "Since you''re just a humble entrepreneur, we might need to tread more cautiously. After all, you''re not the elusive founder
of CR Corporation. Did you hear about that? He once blew a billion dors on a ne."
Unbeknownst to her, the very ne worth a billion was the same one resting against her corbone, avish gift from
Collin.
The implications hung heavily in the air as Collinpsed into a thoughtful silence.

As he watched Linsey''s face closely, a sudden, overpowering impulse seized Collin,pelling him to bare his soul to her.
He was on the verge of revealing his biggest secret-that he was the founder of CR Corporation.
"Linsey, I need to tell you something-" he began, his voice thick with unsaid words.
But before he could continue, their smooth ride transformed into chaos as the car jerked violently, the tires screeching
against the pavement in a jarring cacophony.
As the brakes mped down hard, Linsey, unprepared for the abrupt shift, was thrown forward by the force.
"Ah!" A sharp exmation escaped her as she nearly collided with the dashboard.
Fortunately, Collin''s reflexes were quick. His sturdy arm encircled her waist, pulling her back against him, safe in his hold.
"Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?" His voice wasced with concern as he gently supported the back of her head,
ensuring she was cushioned from any potential impact.
Visibly shaken, Linsey copsed into his arms, her heart racing from the fright.
She met his worried gaze and managed a
shaky nod. "I''m okay, really, don''t worry about me..."
Despite her reassurance, Collin''s features remained etched with worry. He turned sharply towards the driver, his voice
cutting through the stillness. "What the hell just happened?"
