Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 451 You're Such A Jerk!

Collin didn't even lift his head. His attention remained fixed on the documents before him. Without hesitation. he rejected Carol. "Sorry, that won't be possible."

Carol's smile faltered. She furrowed her brows, a flicker of anxiety crossing her face. "You haven't even checked your schedule. Are you sure you're really unavailable?"

Before she could finish, Collin coldly cut her off. "In every way, I'm unavailable."

Carol's embarrassment deepened. She clenched her fists, glaring at him. "Mr. Riley, don't you think you're

being a little too harsh? Is this how you treat someone from the Lawson family?" However, Collin didn't bother responding.

Taking a deep breath, Carol pressed on, her tone turning serious. "If you insist on treating me this way, it could affect the partnership between the Lawson Group and your company. You do realize that my brother only initiated this deal to find a cure for my heart condition?"

Still, Collin remained unmoved.

He finally looked up, his gaze cold and piercing. His voice was calm, but his words carried an unmistakable weight. "Miss Lawson, consider this your final warning. Stop overstepping your boundaries, and stop trying to get close to me. I've told you before-I'm married, and my wife and I have a strong bond."

Carol's eyes widened in shock. She opened her mouth to argue, but Collin didn't give her the chance. His voice turned even colder. "If you pull a stunt like this again, don't blame me for throwing you out-right in front of

everyone."

His words landed like a slap. Carol stood there, frozen, her face burning with humiliation. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she clenched her jaw. "You... You're such a jerk!"

Tears spilled down her cheeks as she spun on her heels and rushed out, her footsteps echoing down the

hallway.

Dustin, who had been hiding in the corner, finally dared to step into the room once the coast was clear. He cautiously glanced toward the door, as if making sure Carol wouldn't storm back in.

Collin arched an eyebrow. "What's with you? Don't tell me you're scared of her?" Dustin quickly shut the door before turning to Collin with a serious expression. "Who in town isn't afraid of Carol Lawson? She's the spoiled daughter of the Lawson family. Even if I made my parents furious, I still wouldn't dare cross her." Leaning against the table, Dustin continued, "Her family keeps

a low profile, and she hasn't caused much trouble-yet. If she did, I can't even imagine the chaos she'd create."

Collin scoffed indifferently, "You're exaggerating"

Dustin plopped down beside him, drumming his fingers on the table 'Maybe, but you were ruthless just now The way you shot her down-cold as ice."

He gave Collin a thumbs up. "I gotta say, I respect that."

Collin's response was calm and matter-of-fact. "Carol has her own agenda. If indulged her even a little, she'd only become more persistent. Keeping my distance is the only way to avoid unnecessary trouble"

Dustin raised an eyebrow. "I see. So you only have a soft spot for your wife."

After a brief pause, he smirked. "Oh, and your grandma. Can't forget her."

Collin remained unfazed. “I'm married. That means keeping my distance from other women. Otherwise, Linsey would get jealous."
