Lately, Collin had hardly contacted him at all. Yesterday, in fact, Collin had only reached out once—to ask for help at the hospital with Gorman. Even then, Collin made it clear he’d rather Linsey stay out of it. With that thought lingering in his mind, Dustin pressed his lips into a firm line, trying to quiet the strange unease building in his chest.

Steadying himself, he said, «After Gorman left Grester four years ago, the Green family’s hold on local resources slowly began to fade. These days, most of the Green Group’s operations are based overseas, so it’s only natural that their influence in Grester falls short when compared to… Collin’s.»

Neither Linsey nor Dolores seemed to catch the hesitation in his voice, both of them preoccupied with their own thoughts.

After a pause, Dolores let out a knowing laugh. «So, in the end, it was Collin who really pushed Gorman out, right?»

A moment’s uncertainty flickered in Linsey’s eyes before she replied, «I’ll talk to Collin later, see if he gives me a straight answer.»

Dolores shook her head with a wistful smile. «I almost believed they’d put all their old grudges behind them. Wasn’t it just yesterday that Collin was so patient, washing Gorman’s hair in the hospital? Guess I gave them too much credit.»

Laughter bubbled up from Linsey, and she couldn’t help but join in.

She understood all too well that expecting Collin and Gorman to maintain any kind of peaceful relationship was simply out of the question.

Honestly, if the two of them could go a day without arguing or clashing, Linsey would have considered it worthy of applause.

Maybe, once Gorman was out of the picture, Collin could finally find some peace of mind.

Soon after, the three exited the hospital together.

For a while, Dustin hung back, clearly looking for the perfect chance to pull Dolores aside for a quiet word.

Before he could work up the nerve, Dolores brightened up and turned to Linsey. «If you aren’t busy, how about coming with me to the mall? I could use some company while I shop.»

«That sounds good to me,» Linsey replied with a smile, not missing a beat.

A brief silence followed as Dustin searched for his response. «Count me in, too,» he finally said.

Dolores shot him a look. «Don’t you have work piling up?»

«I’m not in any rush,» Dustin said right away, casting a quick glance at Linsey. «How about we take Linsey home first? She must be worn out after looking after Gorman these last few days. Let her get some rest, and I’ll go with you to the mall.»

At those words, Linsey arched a brow with a playful glint in her eye. She chose not to speak, opting instead to let the two of them sort it out on their own.

Dolores, firm in her stance, said, «There’s no need for that. Linsey can come with me. You should get back to work.»

«But…» Dustin interjected, clearly ready to argue.

Before he could say more, Dolores gave his shoulder a light pat. «Wouldn’t your mother get suspicious if we were seen shopping alone together?»
