NovelApexChapter 1278:
Linsey’s eyes went wide with disbelief.
She barely had tto react before the room erupted into a frenzy.
“She really did steal it!”
“Word is Collin’s wife didn’t cfrom money. If she saw something expensive, maybe the temptation was just
too much.”
“This is humiliating. If | were Collin, I'd divorce her on the spot.”
Every whisper found its way to Linsey’s ears, each one sharper and more cruel than the last.
Backing away, Linsey shook her head in desperation. “I didn’t steal anything! | have no idea how that bracelet
got into my bag!”
Cynthia folded her arms and sneered, her tone full of mockery. “If you didn’t take it, then how did it get in there?
Do you think the bracelet just grew legs and walked inside on its own?”
Kylee’s voice was softer but no less pointed. “If you wanted the bracelet, you only had to ask me, Linsey. There
was no need to steal. You're Collin’s wife. How could you stoop so low?”
She finished with a quick glance at Collin, gauging his reaction.
Most people looked on with shock, outrage, or disdain. Only Collin’s expression remained unreadable, his face

“I don’t believe she’s a thief,” Collin remarked, cutting her off without hesitation as his cold gaze swept across
the crowd.
His words sent another wave of murmurs through the crowd.
Kylee stared at him, stunned.
Everything she knew about Collin told her he cared deeply about appearances and hated . Yet here he
was, not only calm but openly defending Linsey in front of everyone.
Linsey turned toward him, a quiet tremor running through her chest. While the room buzzed with whispers and
judgment, he stood as the only one who believed in her without question.
Catching her gaze, Collin arched a brow and gently pulled her closer. “What's got you so rattled? Didn't | give
you a gold bracelet last time? Just show it to them.”
His words jogged her memory. Without hesitation, Linsey pushed up her sleeve and revealed the gold bracelet
gleaming on her left wrist.
Collin faced the crowd and remarked calmly, “Linsey already owns a gold bracelet. | bought it for $30 million at
an auction. Why would she bother stealing a fake one?”
“You're making that up!” Cynthia blurted out, stumbling over her words. “Kylee’s isn’t fake!”
Collin shot her a cold look. “There
