Dolores's tone shifted, becoming more serious. "Yes. Before I left, he mentioned it more than once. And just now, he textedagain, stressing how important it is that you go." A chill ran through Dolores as she added, almost to herself, "I don't get it. Why is Gorman so set on having you there? I asked around earlier-the banquet is completely optional. Designers aren't required to attend. The follow- up work will be handled by the company reps anyway." Linsey's eyes narrowed slightly. She let out a quiet sigh. "I really thought Gorman might've changed over the years. But he's still the same-always overthinking things. That said, he's helpeda lot over the past four years. I can't fault him too much." Dolores hesitated, then asked, "So... Have you figured out why he's doing this?" Linsey didn't think long before answering softly, "He probably wants to see if I still have feelings for Collin." Dolores was silent for a few seconds before gently asking, "Do you?" That question made Linsey pause.

I just haven't." Dolores felt a tightness in her chest hearing that. After a beat, she reminded her, "Do you remember what you said when I first brought up the design competition? You were so sure of yourself. I asked if you were worried about seeing Collin again, and you toldyour dreams mattered more than your ex-husband ever could." Linsey let out a laugh, light and surprised. "Did I really say something that bold?" "You did. So, there's no need to be afraid of running into him. If it happens, it happens. It's not like he can kick us out of town." At that, both women fell silent for a moment.
Now that Collin's identity as the founder of CR Corporation was public, and his influence in Grester had only grown, they both knew that technically, he probably could.
"Okay, maybe I was wrong. Maybe we should be avoiding him," Dolores mumbled.
Linsey tried to hold back a laugh. "I doubt he'd go as far as to drive us out of town." Still, her tone shifted, tinged with worry. "What I'm scared of is him finding out about the kids. What if he learns that I gave birth to them in secret? With his power, if he wants to fightfor custody, I'm afraid I won't stand a chance." 0.0% 19:58 Chapter 681 Are You Ready To Face Collin

We have to keep Zander away." "I know. Even if I do go to the banquet, the kids will stay at the hotel. Caylee can watch over them," Linsey said with a nod.
