NovelApexChapter 1275:
When Cynthia slipped out of the room, Kylee leaned in closer to the mirror, fixing her makeup with eyes
brimming with contempt. “Linsey, I'll make you look bad in front of everyone.”
Elsewhere, Linsey emerged from the restroom, looking for Collin.
She soon spotted him alone in the lounge, quietly enjoying his wine while security formed a shield around him.
Anyone hoping to chat—be it hopeful socialites or eager executives—found themselves blocked before they
could even try.
But as Linsey approached, the head bodyguard stepped forward and said, “Mrs. Riley, Mr. Riley has been waiting
for you.”
After hearing the head bodyguard’s words, Linsey’s eyes automatically drifted over to Collin.
From his spot on the sofa, Collin’s gaze locked onto hers, his eyes quietly inviting her in.

She didn’t get far before Collin reached out and drew her close, enveloping her in a warm embrace.

in and perched on his lap. Something about her seemed off, and Collin picked up on it instantly.
“Something bothering you?” he asked, his cool fingertips tracing her soft cheek, his voice low and magnetic.

Collin didn’t seem the least bit bothered by her silence. A crooked smile appeared, and he asked, “Did you step
in something nasty on your way back from the restroom?”
That suggestion snapped her patience.
With a quick swipe, she knocked his hand away and glared, her eyes wide and furious. “Nothing around here is
filthier than your mouth!”
Collin always managed to cup with the most maddening things to say. Her raised voice carried to the
bodyguards nearby, making them stiffen and glance at one another, dreading Collin’s reaction.
