Chapter 916



Chapter 916:

At the sound of her name, Linsey dropped to her knees, reaching out to staunch the bleeding wound.

"Don't touch him!" Rough hands shoved her away as Danny glowered with undisguised resentment. His words dripped venom. "He has sacrificed everything for you! Yet you remain cold-hearted, blind to his devotion, treating him like an enemy!"

Linsey's outstretched hand hung suspended in midair.

"Enough," Gorman growled through clenched teeth, his brow furrowed with displeasure.

The moment his reprimand faded, a torrent of bright crimson bubbled from between Gorman's lips, triggering a violent coughing fit.

"Mr. Green! Just hold on! The ambulance will be here any moment!" Linsey quickly pulled out a handkerchief and gently dabbed at the crimson trail snaking from Gorman's mouth. "Gorman, try to stay calm. Help is coming soon."

At her words, Gorman's ashen face tightened with effort as he forced his heavy eyelids open to meet Linsey's gaze. Confusion and sorrow clouded his weakening stare.

His attention drifted past her to where Collin stood as if rooted to the spot, and a bitter smile ghosted across his bloodless lips.

"Collin, you deliberately came without reinforcements, didn't you?" Each syllable emerged as a fragile whisper, Gorman's strength clearly waning. "You wanted me to lower my defenses, to believe I held sway over you. You knew all along I planned to end your life today."

Linsey's lips compressed into a thin line, her voice layered with complicated emotions. "Gorman, none of this elaborate scheme was necessary. Right now, nothing matters except stopping this bleeding and getting you proper medical attention. All other scores can be settled once you're out of danger."

Collin remained silent, his gaze settling on Gorman with an icy pity that seemed to mock the dying man's miscalculation.

Gorman slowly curled his fingers into a weak fist and rasped, "Linsey, after bringing you here today, I had Zenia and Caylee escorted back to the hotel."

His revelation struck like lightning, causing Linsey's eyes to widen with stunned disbelief.

"What did you say?" she exclaimed.

Her mind raced frantically. Only hours ago, Gorman had leveraged Zenia's safety as a weapon, coercing her into marrying him.

Why would he suddenly release Zenia
