NovelApexChapter 1271:
Her flattery hit its mark, and Collin’s ego swelled. It wasn’t often that Linsey asked him for money outright, so he
had no intention of denying her.
With a casual flick of his wrist, Collin signaled his bodyguard to fetch scash.
The bodyguard, swift and efficient, returned in moments, presenting Collin with a tidy stack of coins.
“Mr. Riley, we don’t have any 50-cent coins—only one-dollar ones. Will that do?” the bodyguard asked.
Collin arched a brow, then tossed a single dollar coin to Linsey with a flourish, radiating dominance. “You can go
twice.”
Linsey took the coin, her cheeks tinged with embarrassment. “Thank you.”
“You're welcome,” Collin replied with a playful smirk. “Need more? | can give you the whole stack.”
“No, this is enough!” Linsey’s face burned as she spun around and hurried off.

yours, didn’t she? It’s obvious she was trying to outshine you. Yet you didn’t badmouth her—instead, you even
complimented her taste.”
Kylee let out a soft laugh. “You think I didn’t want to call her out? But with all those guests around and Collin
nearby, making a fuss would have just made people whisper that I'm small-minded. That's when she would truly
steal the spotlight.”
“Oh, | get it now,” Cynthia said, nodding with admiration and giving a thumbs-up. “Kylee, you're so clever. |
would have fallen right into her trap!”
Kylee’s lips curved into a self-satisfied smirk. “I’ve dealt with plenty of conniving women like her.”
