?Chapter 983:


    But until this mess was over, she couldn’t afford to let her guard down. After sitting, she turned her gaze to a silent Danny.


    “Tell me,” she said calmly, “If you were in my shoes, would you still trust Gorman?” Then, she gave a faint, almost mocking smile. “He’s not the same man anymore. I can’t trust him. So why would I agree to something just because he asks nicely?”


    Danny lowered his head, speechless. The Bluetooth earpiece linking him to Gorman stayed quiet. Gorman said nothing.


    Linsey paused for a moment, then said coolly, “I’m not just saying this for your ears. Gorman, I know you’re listening. Are you still sticking to your n?”


    Danny blinked in surprise, clearly shaken. He couldn’t understand how Linsey had figured it out.


    Before he could speak, Gorman’s raspy voice came through the earpiece. “Tell Linsey I heard everything.” Danny fell silent, a weight settling in his chest.


    Then Gorman added, “If she refuses toe alone, let Collin join her. As long as I see Linsey, that’s enough.”


    Danny stared ahead, stunned. Once again, Gorman was bending the rules for her. Even with all his dislike for Collin, he was willing to overlook it—just for a chance to see Linsey.


    Grinding his teeth, Danny finally looked up and muttered, “Mr. Green said Collin cane too.”


    Alissa’s patience snapped. Even she couldn’t stay calm this time. “He’s going to make us all lose our minds,” she said sharply, then turned on her heel and walked out without another word.


    The room fell silent. Only Linsey, Collin, Danny, and a few of the Green family’s guards remained.

    Linsey’s expression remained steady. She turned to Collin and asked softly, “Shall we?”


    Collin nodded and took her hand.


    Danny let out a cold snort, but knowing how much Gorman cared for Linsey, he kept his resentment in check.


    “Follow me,” he said tly, then started walking ahead.


    Linsey and Collin followed, a few steps behind. Several strong bodyguards trailed closely after them.


    As they stepped out of the private room, both Linsey’s and Collin’s phones began to ring.


    A realization hit Linsey. The brief silence earlier must have triggered rms—people were probably searching for them.


    Just as she reached for her phone, Danny turned with a hard look. “Before you meet Mr. Green, ignore anything that doesn’t matter,” he warned.


    Then, after a beat, he added sharply, “If you’re truly grateful for all Mr. Green has done, then show it properly.”


    Linsey’s lips moved slightly as she replied, “Alright, I understand.” Collin didn’t reach for his phone either.


    Now that their signal was back, his team would easily trace their location. All they had to do was wait.
