Chapter 372 Why Is The Police Station Calling


    At Vista Vi, Linsey remained in a sour mood after throwing Collin out of the bedroom.


    Even after she washed up and settled into bed, sleep refused toe.


    A growing heaviness pressed against her chest, the unease inside her swelling with each passing second.


    Eventually, she could no longer stand the suffocating tension and abruptly sat up.


    Taking a deep breath, she shot an annoyed nce toward the door.


    That fool. She had kicked him out, but couldn''t he at least try toe back?


    She had told him she needed some space, and he actually took it at face value? Not even an attempt to coax


    her?


    The more she dwelled on it, the more irritated she became.


    He had kept the truth from her for so long. Wasn''t she justified in being upset? Linsey pursed her lips, her mood sinking again.


    Yet, deep down, she understood. Collin hadn''t faked his disability out of malice. He had no other choice.


    If he had had proper protection, he wouldn''t have needed to go to such extremes to ensure his safety.

    With that n in mind, Linsey opened the door and headed for the study.


    But before she could take more than a few steps, Collin''s assistant who looked panicked nearly ran into her.


    "Ah!" She took a step back, startled.


    The assistant quickly stopped and apologized. "Mrs. Riley, I''m so sorry! Are you alright?"


    Linsey frowned. "What''s the rush? What happened?"

    Linsey''s brows drew together. Something felt off.


    Collin had never left without a word before.


    Was he actually sulking?


    Her eyes turned cold. "Tell me the truth. What''s going on?"


    The assistant stiffened, stealing a wary nce at her.


    A slight chill ran through him.


    For some reason, standing before Linsey, he felt an inexplicable pressure-as if he were facing his boss himself. story. "It''s nothing, really. Mr. Riley just has some urgent business. He''ll He swallowed hard but stuck to his exin everything to you himself when he returns. As for the details... I don''t know much."


    Linsey studied him for a moment. He didn''t seem to be lying.


    If Collin was busy, she would find another chance to talk to himter.


    Just as she was about to dismiss the assistant, her phone rang.


    She froze the second she saw the caller ID. "Huh? Why is the police station calling?"


    The assistant''s eyes widened in rm. Panicking, he instinctively tried to stop her. "Mrs. Riley! It''s probably a scam! Don''t answer it-you shouldn''t believe random calls!"
