Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 87 My Wife Can

Protect Me Too!

Fernanda had barely grasped the unfolding events when Huntley, gripping his arm, screamed in pain. "Mom! My arm hurts

so much! Is it broken? Am I going to be crippled? Help me!"

The question echoed in the guests' mind. "Could it be true? Did Huntley really break his arm?"noveldrama

"This is just too much."

Nearly drowned out by the surrounding murmurs, Fernanda called out urgently, "Doctor! Someone call a doctor!"

The birthday banquet devolved into complete chaos. Guests collided in their haste, adding to the frantic atmosphere.

Amidst the turmoil, Collin took Linsey's hand gently, urging her to lean in. He whispered, "Let's go."

Linsey paused, her surprise evident. Were they actually leaving now? The celebration had just begun.

Observing her hesitation, Collin chuckled. "Clearly, neither Huntley nor Fernanda wants us here. They were just curious about you. Now that they've seen you, there's no reason for us to stay."

He smirked playfully. "Unless you're dying to chat with them? But I doubt they have time for us right now."

Fernanda preoccupied with Huntley's distress, Linsey nodded. "Okay, let's go." They quietly exited the chaotic scene.

Once they were in their car, the evening's events replayed in Linsey's mind. She remembered how Collin had shielded her, sending a shiver down her spine.

"That was really dangerous," she remarked, her concern clear. "You didn't have to risk yourself for me."

Despite Huntley's rude actions, Linsey didn't want Collin to get into trouble because of her.

Fernanda was fiercely protective of her son. She was yet to make a move because she was distracted by Huntley's injury.

Yet, Linsey knew that Fernanda would likely plot some form of retaliation.

Linsey thought Huntley was exaggerating. She had seen everything-Collin had been forceful, sure, but not enough to break

any bones.

Yet there was Huntley, screaming about being crippled, feigning agony while still hurling insults at Collin. It was

exasperating.

Noticing Linsey's concerned expression, Collin chuckled. "If I can't protect my wife, what kind of man am I?"

He raised an eyebrow, his smile teasing. "Besides, didn't you jump in to defend me earlier without thinking twice about the

danger?"

Linsey paused, meeting Collin's meaningful gaze.

Collin's laughter was gentle. "Who would've thought? My wife can protect me too!

I definitely underestimated you. You're

braver than I realized."

Caught off guard and a bit flustered, Linsey found herself unable to meet his eyes.

"I wasn't really thinking..." she admitted softly. "I knew about your family's

reputation, but witnessing their behavior

firsthand tonight-I just couldn't hold back."

Taking a deep breath, she added under her breath, "If I knew we could've gotten

away with it, I would've slapped Huntley

twice while I had the chance!"
