"Alright," Fernanda said with a graceful smile, gently tugging Huntley along. "Let's go greet your brother."
Huntley cast a skeptical glance at his mother, instantly recognizing her act as a performance for the gathered crowd.
Despite this, a sense of irritation nagged at him. He often wondered why, even after all these years, his mother maintained such a guarded stance towards Collin.noveldrama
He was merely a man confined to a wheelchair, lacking his father's favor and devoid of any significant influence in the family. What threat could he possibly pose?
Moreover, as his parents' favorite son, Huntley felt demeaning himself to greet Collin was beneath him. Collin didn't deserve such recognition.
Nonetheless, the prospect of meeting Collin's wife piqued his interest. With a lazy stretch, he straightened up, considering that he might find some amusement in witnessing Collin's misfortunes firsthand.
Across the venue, Linsey was diligently maneuvering Collin's wheelchair through the crowd as they made their entrance.
"Is that Collin Riley?"
"Who else would it be? Apart from him, who is always confined to a wheelchair?"
"Tragic, isn't it? One accident, and his legs were taken from him. It's a shame because without his disability, Collin could
have achieved so much more."
"Regardless, he's clearly fallen out of favor with the Riley clan. Not just with his father, but even the extended relatives
seem to dismiss him. It's obvious the heir's title will fall to Huntley."
Hearing these scornful whispers, Linsey felt a surge of frustration tighten her chest.
She glanced at Collin, who remained stoic, his face a mask of calm resolve. She didn't need to strain to hear the murmurs; their content was clear enough.
Before today, Linsey had only known snippets about Collin. Now, as she witnessed the disdain he endured, her sympathy for him deepened.
Her teeth clenched in indignation, Linsey was on the brink of confronting the rude onlookers.
However, at that moment, Collin gently captured her hand and redirected it towards the wheelchair's handles.
"Don't mind them," he murmured quietly. "Remember, you promised to stick by my side."
Before Linsey could reply, a sneering voice echoed from the front.
"Collin, why are you so late?" Huntley strode confidently up to Collin, fixing him with a mocking stare. "Oh, right I almost

forgot. You can't move around easily, so of course you'd be late. My mistake for overthinking-I almost thought you were
too embarrassed to show up."
Collin met Huntley's gaze with a detached expression. “What do I have to be afraid of?"
Fernanda, who was trailing gracefully behind, overheard Huntley's comments and couldn't suppress her smugness.
She looked at Collin's wheelchair and put on a show of sympathy. "Huntley, that's enough. Collin is already coping with his
disability. Don't make it harder for him."
Huntley gave a cold snort, then turned to the gathering crowd of guests and announced loudly, "Everyone in town knows
that not long ago, Collin's original fiancée ran away as soon as she saw his wheelchair. Left with no choice, he had to quickly find another woman to marry."
Huntley laughed and then turned back to Collin. "Look at you, Collin. It's been days since your wedding, and yet you're still hiding your wife. Mom and I are both so curious—we really want to see what your new bride looks like. Although your legs are useless, you're still part of this family. Surely someone of your status wouldn't just marry anyone."
As he finished, Huntley's eyes roamed around Collin.
His gaze suddenly fixed on Linsey, who stood quietly behind Collin. A look of surprise crossed his face.
Who was this woman?
