Chapter 663:
Linsey’s heart softened. She reached out, lightly touching Dolores’ hand. “I’m sorry for worrying you again.”
She let out a small sigh before explaining, “Everything happened so fast yesterday. That’s why I couldn’t tell you sooner. But I made sure to let you know first thing this morning.”
As she heard that, Dolores’ expression darkened as she recalled what Linsey had written about Collin.
Her voice sharpened. “Collin is such a jerk! I used to think he was good to you—reliable, even. But he deceived you all this time! Who cares if he’s the founder of CR Corporation? His money means nothing if he can’t be trusted. You’re his wife, and he still lied to you? What a piece of trash!”
Linsey lowered her gaze. In truth, everything Dolores said echoed her own thoughts from yesterday.
But now, she didn’t have the energy to resent or blame Collin anymore. Maybe, in the end, he had acted this way because he simply didn’t love her enough.
“Dolores, I’ve decided to divorce him. I’ll meet him at the courthouse in four days to finalize everything. Before that, I need to consult a lawyer about the divorce agreement,” Linsey said softly.
Dolores was about to offer to help find a lawyer when Linsey added, “Gorman offered to handle it for me yesterday. Since he’s the Green family’s heir, I figured he knows more lawyers than I do, so I accepted.”
Dolores immediately understood. “Gorman? He’s the one you saved abroad a few years ago, right? Didn’t you say he was leaving town?”
Linsey pressed her lips together before replying, “He ended up staying. Lately, I’ve sensed his feelings for me. I appreciate everything he’s done, and I’ll make sure to repay his kindness. But when it comes to love, I just don’t have the heart for it right now.”
Dolores gave her a reassuring smile. “That’s okay. Just take things one step at a time. For now, focus on your divorce with Collin. Everything else can wait.”
Linsey nodded. “Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m thinking too.”
Linsey felt much better with Dolores beside her.
The two chatted for a while until Dolores got a work call.
“Don’t worry about me, I’m fine here. Go take care of work. I’ll walk you out,” Linsey said with a smile as she stood up.
Dolores wanted to stay longer, but she had an important client to meet, so she had no choice but to leave.
“I’ll come back when I’m free. Call me anytime,” she said, her voice laced with concern as she stepped into the elevator.
Linsey nodded. “Alright, I will.”
After seeing Dolores off, Linsey turned to head back to her ward. As she reached the corner, she spotted Jeffery slowly making his way down the hall, bracing himself against the wall. He was alone.
