NovelApexChapter 1225:
Roland, caught on the other end, could only freeze in shock.
“Hand that back,” Collin said, reclaiming the receiver from her grip.
He barely had it before Roland’s hesitant voice crackled through. “Mr. Riley, is everything under control?”
Collin’s tone was light, almost dismissive. “It's nothing—she’s just had a bit too much to drink. Bring the honey
water quickly,” he responded before cutting the connection.
Linsey made another grab for the phone, but Collin simply set it out of her reach.

me, Collin. What is it you even see in me?”
He didn’t reply right away, only nudged the cup a little closer, silently urging her to take a sip.

Linsey’s words made Collin freeze, his face darkening as he asked, “Do you even understand what you're
saying?”
Linsey nodded. “I understand perfectly.”
She would rather give herself to Collin than to Felix.
That thought propelled her forward; she leaned in and pressed her lips to his.
