?Chapter 926:
But with things the way they were, her only choice was to depend on Linsey—who seemed to have gotten back together with Collin. Haven had promised to help her escape prison if she managed to kill Linsey.
But they hadn’t expected that she would end up killing Gorman instead!
Could Haven’s powerful family really save her now?
Kylee ran through all of this in her mind in under thirty seconds.
She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Linsey, her eyes filled with doubt. “Why would you get me out, Linsey? I was trying to kill you. You lived, but Gorman died instead. Haven’t you thought about getting revenge for him?”
Kylee no longer trusted Haven, but that didn’t mean she was on Linsey’s side either.
They were still enemies.
Linsey had already guessed that Kylee would ask that, so she answered without flinching. “Isn’t it obvious? That day at the bridal boutique, I was forced to be there with Gorman. I never liked him—not even a little. So why would I want revenge? Honestly, what matters to me now is figuring out who helped you with all this. If I don’t know, I’ll always be looking over my shoulder.”
She paused for a second, then added, “Yeah, I know Collin will make sure I’ve got protection, but that doesn’t mean I can let my guard down. You can’t defend yourself from an enemy you can’t even seeing.”
With nothing more to say, Linsey didn’t bother dragging the conversation out. She stood up and said, “You know what? Forget it.
Clearly, you’re not willing to work with me. I’ll figure something else out.”

Without waiting for a reply, Linsey turned and started walking toward the door. She knew exactly what she was doing—this was a strategic move. Kylee wouldn’t be able to ignore it.
And just like she predicted, before she had even taken her third step, Kylee blurted out in panic, “Linsey! I’ll tell you everything—just don’t leave me hanging like this. Please, help me!”
Linsey came to a slow stop but didn’t bother turning back to face her. Kylee clenched her teeth and muttered, “But I want it in writing—you’ve gotta promise you’ll get me out of this ce.”
Outside the room, Collin had just finished checking some work emails when he noticed Linsey stepping out.
He got to his feet right away, walked over to her, and brushed his hand gently across her forehead.
“So? How’d it go in there?” he asked.
Linsey paused, then met Collin’s gaze and said, “It’s Haven.”
Collin’s expression remained unchanged, and he simply replied, “Okay.”
Linsey frowned, dissatisfied with Collin’s reaction. “You don’t seem bothered. Why? Do you not believe me? Kylee told me herself. She mentioned it, among other things.”
Collin let out a soft chuckle, an amused look on his face.
He then wrapped an arm around Linsey as they walked outside and said, “How could I not believe you? I already suspected it, so I wasn’t really surprised to hear it from you.”
