Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 742

Chapter 742 What Did You Dig Up

Dolores raised a brow, her voice laced with sarcasm. “Oh? I thought you two were a couple.”

Haven, eager to keep Collin from saying more, quickly answered, “We’re just friends.”

A quiet voice broke through the moment. “How can that be true?” Linsey cut in. “Didn’t Mr. Riley spend 2.7 billion at a charity auction to buy the Star of the Desert for Haven? That doesn’t sound like just friends to me.”

Dolores froze. She was stunned–not just by the insane price of the necklace, but by the fact that Linsey, who had been silent, chose to speak up now.

She wasn’t the only one surprised. Dustin’s eyes widened too.

He turned to Collin and asked in a hushed voice, “You bought a necklace for Haven? For 2.7 billion? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Linsey’s words left Collin momentarily speechless.

Haven, on the other hand, blushed deeply. “Collin only bought the Star of the Desert for my birthday. It’s the most touching gift I’ve ever received,” she said with a bashful smile.

Collin’s brows furrowed. He wanted to say something more.

But just as the words reached his lips, he stopped.

With the way things stood between him and Linsey now, even the truth might do more harm than good.

She might think he was using money to win her back.

And if she thought that, it would only prove what she had believed four years ago–that he saw her as nothing more than a greedy, shallow woman.

The cold look on his face didn’t go unnoticed. Dustin, sitting beside him, felt the tension and shifted uncomfortably.

Even though he had finally had the chance to see Dolores today, he couldn’t help feeling annoyed. This unexpected group had thrown everything off.

What a headache, he thought.

Meanwhile, Collin’s silence only deepened Linsey’s suspicions.

So it was true. He really had spent 2.7 billion on a necklace for Haven.

It was all because her birthday was coming up.

No matter what he said before, his actions said something else entirely.

Linsey also remembered something she had heard earlier–Ivy had a close bond with Haven’s family Their families were well connected.

It wasn’t hard to believe the two of them had once been set up to marry.
