Chapter 644:
Danny was desperate to prompt his boss into action. Linsey clearly resented Collin already, so if Gorman stopped their meeting, wouldn’t that be his best chance to prevent their reconciliation?
So why wasn’t Gorman saying something—anything—to stop Linsey from leaving?
Unexpectedly, Gorman simply nodded, saying softly, “Alright.”
Danny nearly choked in disbelief, convinced he had misheard him. Seriously? Missing this opportunity, there would be no chance for him to be with Linsey in the future!
Ignoring the shocked glance behind him, Gorman turned to Linsey and smiled reassuringly. “But you shouldn’t go alone. Let me take you there to make sure you’re safe.”
Linsey hesitated, caught off guard by his offer.
Gorman added, “Don’t worry, I’ll stay outside. I won’t disturb your conversation with Collin.”
Actually, Linsey’s hesitation wasn’t due to that at all; rather, she was concerned about interrupting Gorman’s own affairs. Moreover, she was aware that Gorman still carried lingering feelings for her.
Instead of clarifying things now and possibly hurting him, perhaps it was better to let him hold onto a harmless misunderstanding. Friendship and gratitude were all she could truly offer Gorman at this point.
“Alright, thank you.” Linsey nodded in agreement.
In no time, Gorman’s car pulled smoothly to a stop outside the Lawson residence.
“Remember, I’m right here. Call me if you need anything,” Gorman reminded gently before Linsey stepped out.
They had only recently reconnected and exchanged contact details again.
“I will,” Linsey said quietly, offering him a brief smile before leaving the vehicle.
Inside the car, Gorman watched Linsey carefully, his eyes following her until she vanished through the Lawson family’s front door.
Seeing his boss so attentive toward Linsey, Danny grew even more perplexed. “Mr. Green, why did you let Linsey meet Collin so easily? You even drove her here yourself.”
As he heard this, Gorman’s lips curled into a knowing smile, his mood seemingly unaffected.
“I respect Linsey’s decisions. In fact, no matter what she chooses, I’ll support her.”
After a deliberate pause, his smile turned subtly confident. “Besides, letting her see Collin tonight might actually work in my favor. Why should I stand in the way?”
Danny was more confused. “Mr. Green, what are you planning?”
Relaxed and patient, Gorman didn’t hesitate to clarify his thoughts to Danny.
“Linsey is seen as gentle and kind, but she’s also incredibly stubborn and resilient,” Gorman explained. “This time, she’s been utterly fooled by Collin. Regardless of the truthfulness of what he said in the hotel room, to Linsey, it all rang as betrayal.”
He glanced at Danny, continuing, “You know, the individuals you questioned earlier said that Carol had been feeding Linsey stories about Collin’s deceit as the founder of CR Corporation, even showing her some purported evidence. By the time Collin spoke, Linsey was already doubtful, and those words just confirmed her suspicions.”
