Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After (Linsey)

Chapter 63

Chapter 63 How Could You Just Throw It Away

Seeing the box in her hands, Linsey shot Collin a startled look. "A gift?"

After lecturing him, she was the one receiving a present? It felt almost unreal.

A warmth spread through her chest, and she hesitated before asking, “Can I open it now?"

Collin's gaze remained locked on her face as he watched for even the subtlest shift in her expression.

"Yes, you can," he replied.

With a mixture of excitement and curiosity, Linsey lifted the lid. The moment her eyes fell on the dazzling gemstone

necklace inside, she froze. The sheer brilliance of it was overwhelming.

A sharp gasp escaped her lips, and before she could think, she instinctively pushed the box toward him. "This... This is too

much. I can't take it."

What was Collin thinking? They still had a hundred-million-dollar debt hanging over their heads, and here he was, giving her a necklace? And one that looked outrageously expensive.

It didn't add up. Wasn't he supposed to be completely broke? Sure, they lived in a luxurious villa, and there were high-end cars parked in the garage, but she had never once linked those things to Collin's actual finances.

way to wash their hands of him.

From the moment she learned about his debt, she had believed, without a doubt, that he was struggling financially.
