NovelUpdateChapter 326 Chapter 326 No One Will Dare Underestimate You Linsey pressed her hand against her chest and offered Collin a playful, teasing look.
Her luminous eyes sparkled with an adorable hint of reproach.
In response, Collin's laughter was a low, melodic chuckle as he explained, "I'm not actually as poor as they think. My family might dismiss me, but I inherited a substantial sum from my grandmother and mother. Plus, I've been managing a small company these last few years, and it's been quite lucrative. Technically, your husband stands pretty well- off in town." With a knowing raise of his eyebrow, he continued, "How else do you suppose I afford living in the lavish Vista Villa? We've got a decent collection of cars in the garage too." At that revelation, Linsey remained a bit stunned, her mind whirling. Unbeknownst to her, the "small company" Collin referred to was none other than the globally acclaimed CR Corporation-the very firm where she was employed. Even as she processed his words, she knew Collin's life had always been absorbed by his work to the point of neglecting meals and sleep.
If it weren't for his business engagements, he likely wouldn't have crossed paths with Dustin as often.

"But Collin, we can't keep splurging like this," she protested gently. "A few of my former classmates have been talking behind my back-why should we hand out such lavish gifts?" Her lips curled into a pout as she aired her grievances.
Collin couldn't contain his laughter, his large hand affectionately tousling her hair.
"I hate seeing you deal with unnecessary troubles," he explained with a gentle sincerity. "Now, no one will dare underestimate you. That alone makes everything worth it." Collin paused for a beat, his tone completely serious. "I mean, it's not like I can send all your old classmates to jail, right?" A smirk played on Linsey's lips as she playfully slapped his arm. "Stop it, you're being ridiculous." The room filled with a lighter, more carefree air, washing away any lingering tension.
Then, a thought struck her, spurred by a news report she had caught earlier. She leaned in, her tone casual yet probing. "Since you're just a humble entrepreneur, we might need to tread more cautiously. After all, you're not the elusive founder of CR Corporation. Did you hear about that? He once blew a billion dollars on a necklace." Unbeknownst to her, the very necklace worth a billion was the sone resting against her collarbone, a lavish gift from Collin.
The implications hung heavily in the air as Collin lapsed into a thoughtful silence.

He was on the verge of revealing his biggest secret-that he was the founder of CR Corporation.
"Linsey, I need to tell you something-" he began, his voice thick with unsaid words.
But before he could continue, their smooth ride transformed into chaos as the car jerked violently, the tires screeching against the pavement in a jarring cacophony.

Fortunately, Collin's reflexes were quick. His sturdy arm encircled her waist, pulling her back against him, safe in his hold.
"Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?" His voice was laced with concern as he gently supported the back of her head, ensuring she was cushioned from any potential impact.
Visibly shaken, Linsey collapsed into his arms, her heart racing from the fright.
She met his worried gaze and managed a shaky nod. "I'm okay, really, don't worry about me..."
Despite her reassurance, Collin's features remained etched with worry. He turned sharply towards the driver, his voice cutting through the stillness. "What the hell just happened?" A Second Chance With The CE...
