NovelApexChapter 1347:
In the end, all she could manage was a soft, “Thank you... for the jacket. I'll wash it and return it.”
“No need,” Collin said flatly, shaking his head. “I don’t wear anything someone else has touched.”
Her brows lifted in surprise. “Then... this jacket?”
“Do whatever you want with it,” he said with a shrug, as if it were an afterthought. Linsey stared at him,
momentarily speechless. Then she gave a faint nod. “Thank you...”
Collin, clearly uncomfortable with any notion of sentiment, shifted his stance.
“Don’t overthink it. | did it merely out of courtesy.” He turned to the bodyguard. “Get her an umbrella.”
“Yes, sir,” the man replied instantly.
After everything—after the tension, the confusion, the storm of emotions—Linsey was finally handed an
umbrella. She let out a quiet breath of relief. “Sir, thank—"
But Collin was already wheeling himself away, his back turned.
Left standing there, she turned to the bodyguard instead, giving him a soft word of thanks before stepping back

His eyes landed on the men’s jacket resting on her shoulders before he frowned slightly, puzzled. “Where did you

Linsey struggled to find the right words to explain what had just transpired. After several moments of thoughtful
silence, she offered a brief account. “I bumped into this kind stranger while looking for an umbrella to borrow. He
was incredibly generous, and when he saw how soaked | was, he graciously offeredhis suit jacket.”
Gorman listened in complete silence, his brows knitting together as his lips pressed into a tight line, making his
thoughts impossible to read.
“What's wrong?” Linsey asked gently, sensing the shift in his mood and unable to hide her growing concern.

Gorman reached out to touch the wide lapels of the suit jacket, murmuring under his breath, “It's nothing. Just
that this jacket looks strangely familiar.” This particular brand wasn’t something just anyone could purchase. The
company maintained extremely strict requirements for its clientele.
Typically, only wealthy tycoons, worth over ten million dollars, could even qualify to buy from them.
Gorman distinctly remembered that his arch-rival, Collin, had always been particularly fond of this exact brand.
Could it possibly be that this kind stranger was actually him?
The moment this thought crossed his
mind, Gorman immediately pushed it
aside. He felt absalbteoertain that
Collin any Hnsey had never met,
making such a coincidental
encounter virtually impossible. The
