Chapter 210 Chapter 210 Collin, LetGo! Linsey's heart skipped a beat as she rushed toward Collin, panic rising. She quickly reached out, helping him up with urgency.
"Collin, are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?" Before she could say another word, Collin's hand shot out, gripping her wrist firmly.
A faint, knowing smile tugged at his lips as his eyes held hers, unyielding. "Linsey, I've finally got you." Linsey froze for a moment, realization crashing over her-Collin had staged the fall just to make her cback. She exhaled sharply, frustration bubbling to the surface. "Collin, you jerk!

Back then, Felix had pleaded just as desperately, insisting there was nothing between him and Joanna.
Yet, on their wedding day, Felix had turned his back on her without a second thought, choosing Joanna instead. "Collin, I can't bring myself to trust you right now," Linsey said, her voice shaky.
