Chapter 690 Start Digging


    Into That Woman


    Haven''s expression softened almost instantly. She gave a faint smile and said, "But you''re already divorced, aren''t you? It''s been four years now."


    Collin''s gaze darkened, and his voice grew firm. "Divorce doesn''t change the fact that I still love her."


    Haven''s smile faded. She stared at him, stunned and speechless.


    Collin looked down slightly and continued, "I know my grandmother is close with your family. I''ll show you and your


    family the respect you deserve. But beyond that, I''ve made myself clear."


    With that, he gave a polite nod. "If there''s nothing else, I''ll take my leave. I have matters to attend to at the banquet."


    Before Haven could respond, Collin turned and walked off without hesitation.


    A wave of humiliation washed over her.


    Her fists clenched tightly, and her face burned with anger.


    All her life, she had been spoiled and adored.


    With her beauty and wealthy background, no one had ever dared reject her.


    This was the first time a man had spoken to her like that-and it stung.


    Just then, soft footsteps approached from behind..


    Haven turned to see her friend, Joanne Ellis.


    "Haven, what happened? Why did he leave like that?" Joanne asked.


    Haven''s face twisted with a mix of shame and fury. "I only hinted a little, and he shot me down right away. He said he still


    loves his ex-wife!"


    She paused, then gritted her teeth. "That woman only got the chance to marry into the Riley family because I walked away


    from the wedding. And now I''ve lost to her-a nobody who was just a stand-in!"


    Joanne looked surprised. Then she said seriously, "I heard his ex-wife was Linsey Brooks-a designer who used to be well-known here in Grester. No family, no background. Just an orphan. Who knows what tricks she pulled to stay in Collin''s


    heart?"


    Haven''s eyes narrowed with disdain. "Humph! No matter how talented she was, she still ended up divorced. At least I''ve built a solid bond with Collin''s grandmother. If I y my cards right, it won''t be long before I be his wife."


    Joanne chuckled and sighed. "If we had known back then that Collin wasn''t actually disabled-and that he was the founder of CR Corporation-you never would''ve left him."

    Haven shot her a re. "There''s no point crying over spilled milk."


    She then snapped, "Start digging into that woman-Linsey Brooks. I want every detail. Maybe there''s something I can use to


    win Collin back."


    Half an hourter, Gorman saw Linsey again.


    "Linsey."


    She blinked, pulled from her thoughts, and saw Gorman watching her closely.


    "Are you okay?" he asked gently, sensing something off.


    Linsey gave a small shake of her head. "I''m fine."


    But Gorman knew her too well. He could see through the lie.


    Still, because she had always kept her feelings guarded, he didn''t push her.
