WantNovelChapter 1262:
Without responding, she brushed away a tear and glanced again at the gold bracelet now gleaming on her wrist.
Every detail of its design spoke of careful handiwork, colorful stones sparkling along the band, with no hint that
anything could be hidden inside.
Reassured by this, she finally allowed herself to accept Collin’s explanation, though reluctance still tugged at her
thoughts.
While his embrace lingered, Collin pressed his cheek to her shoulder and murmured, his voice velvet-smooth,
“So, what do you think?”
Linsey gave a small nod, admitting, “I like it.” Almost without thinking, she added, “Did this cost a fortune?”
Collin spoke casually, as if it were nothing special. “I had someone place a bid for it at the auction. It didn’t cost
much, just $30 million.”
Right then, Linsey leapt off his lap, her eyes wide in disbelief. “Only $30 million?!”
That number sounded outrageous to her. The bracelet seemed incredibly expensive.
A rush of unease swept over Linsey, so she tried to slip the bracelet off and hand it back. “No, this is far too
much. | really can’t accept it.”
Collin blocked her hands with a firm grip, insisting, “You're my wife. | want you to keep it.”

finally gave in and agreed to keep it on.
Their conversation was interrupted by the doorbell ringing.
“I'll answer it,” Linsey remarked.
She thought she would find a delivery outside, but instead, Kylee stood there.
Linsey froze for a second, caught off guard. Kylee, her eyes hidden behind a pair of sunglasses, looked her up
and down with open disdain. “Is Collin home? | cto see him.”

Snapping out of her shock, Linsey replied, “Yes, he’s here.”
She moved aside to let Kylee in.
Although there was more than enough space in the doorway, Kylee deliberately forced her way past, slamming
her shoulder hard into Linsey’s.
Linsey wasn't prepared. Her head slammed into the edge of the doorframe, and a sharp cry slipped out before
she could stop it.
Collin heard the commotion. His voice rang out as he hurried over. “Linsey, what happened?” Worry sharpened
his tone.
Before Linsey could say a word, Kylee
