Chapter 655:
She even questioned if the happiness they had shared was merely an illusion.
Linsey could now discern the truth from the lies in Collin’s words. Keeping up this marriage would only push her toward madness, haunted by constant doubts and suspicion about Collin.
Living a normal, untroubled life with him had become an impossibility. Their marriage, she realized, had been rooted in deceit from the start.
Reflecting on their spontaneous wedding day, Linsey remembered how, after Felix left her at the altar, she had vowed to start anew.
Without much deliberation, she had married Collin, who had similarly been jilted.
At that moment, Linsey had believed their meeting was destiny.
Now, she recognized how naive she had been to think so.
Her naivety had come at a high cost.
Linsey inhaled deeply, grounding herself back in the moment. Her expression softened, and she regained her composure as she faced Collin again.
Speaking in an even tone, Linsey addressed him directly. “Collin, I will instruct a lawyer to prepare the divorce documents. You don’t need to worry about your assets; I have no interest in them. They will remain with you.”
Collin reacted visibly, his eyes widening at her words. “No, Linsey. I won’t agree to the divorce.”
Unperturbed by his interruption, Linsey continued, “The papers will be sent either to your office or to your home. After your signature, we can decide on a date to finalize everything.”
Her eyes dropped slightly. “Let’s plan for five days from now, at nine in the morning. I’ll be at the courthouse.”
Collin couldn’t accept this. It was all happening too fast.
He slowly turned toward her, his voice firm. “I cannot agree to a divorce, Linsey. We’re misunderstanding each other. This isn’t the way to end things.”

By now, Linsey’s resolve was unshakable. She listened to Collin, then responded softly yet with undeniable resolve. “If you won’t sign, I’ll start the divorce process myself. My decision’s final. Delaying it will only make me resent you more and erase any chance of forgiveness.”
Emotion flashed through Collin’s eyes before his gaze went blank. She had made her decision—she was resolute about the divorce.
Linsey stood still, her eyes ice-cold as they locked with Collin’s, her voice stripped of any warmth. “Collin, you’ve caused me enough pain. I just hope you don’t push me to despise you entirely in these final moments. If you’re willing to cooperate, we can at least part ways peacefully.”
Collin attempted to respond, his voice faltering as he realized the futility of his words.
He had really messed up—made a huge mistake.
Right from the start, he never should have been so arrogant as to hide the truth from Linsey.
Despite their mutual confession of feelings, he had kept his silence about his role in the CR Corporation, only making things worse.
Linsey’s confrontation was the only reason Collin realized she wouldn’t appreciate his public marriage proposal as the CR Corporation’s founder.
