Chapter 89

“I don’t want anything in particular,” Linda said as she tapped her fingers lightly on the car window. “I’m just very vengeful.”

Some things couldn’t end so easily.

“Aunt Lucy, you and Hannah, as well as my dear uncle, should all be ready for my revenge.

With that, Linda got into the car and closed the door. She rolled down the window after that. “Goodbye, Aunt Lucy. And remember that we’re at the police station. So, don’t do anything stupid!”

“Linda, what did you do to my mom?” Hannah’s angry voice rang out.

“I didn’t do anything. Don’t accuse me.”

“Linda, do you have to destroy our family completely to be satisfied?”

Linda twisted the bracelet on her wrist. “Hannah, I don’t have such evil thoughts.

“I’m just using legal means to reclaim what rightfully belongs to me.”

With that, she snapped her fingers.

The driver started the engine, and the car slowly pulled away from the police station, leaving Lucy and Hannah furious but powerless.

“Ms. Felix, we need to be extra cautious with those two. Desperate people do desperate things.” Wendy wamed.

Linda knew this well. Lucy and Hannah wouldn’t give up easily. After spending so long achieving their comfortable lives, it would be hard for anyone to accept losing it all at once.

She waited for them to make a move. She wasn’t afraid of them attacking. If they did nothing, how could she catch them making a mistake?

“Let’s head back to YK Media. There’s stilla good show to watch later.”

-Linda didn’t elaborate, leaving Wendy curious.

For outsiders, the recent events seemed like an old injustice finally being corrected. As Linda’s assistant, the more Wendy learned about the situation, the more she empathized with Linda.

As a woman, she genuinely felt heartbroken for Linda.

She asked after taking a deep breath, “Ms. Felix, if you could go back, would you still choose to save

William?”

Everything started because she saved William. Would things have been different if she hadn’t?

“I would still choose to save him,” Linda replied. “But I wouldn’t believe his promises, which led to my family’s downfall.”

2/2

She mentioned her parents, something Wendy had never heard her do before.

“My parents both told me that William wasn’t a good match for me, but I didn’t listen.

“When I was being treated in Usna, wrapped in bandages and unable to move, I wished I had listened.

“If I had been obedient then, I wouldn’t be in this situation now.

“My father left me a letter. He said that Chloe and I would always be his and my mother’s pride and that we should live on.

“Do you know how desperate I was at that moment?”

Linda began to cry unknowingly. “My child was killed by his father. Did he hate me that much?”

William hated her enough to watch her drown and watch their child bleed out of her body.

Who could be so cruel?

Only William.

Linda couldn’t help but hate him. She once loved deeply, so the hate was also present, although much of it was offset by love.

William’s later attempts to make amends did nothing for the already broken Linda.

Everything she was doing now was just to achieve a comfortable and desired outcome.

Didn’t it hurt to repeatedly reopen wounds, sprinkle salt on them, and watch the healing wounds bleed. again?

It did, but there was no choice. If she didn’t endure the pain, how would the dirty past come to light?

“Ms. Felix…”

Wendy listened with tears in her eyes, unable to speak. She felt Linda’s pain as if she were in her shoes, and it was unbearable.

“Ms. Felix, you have been very brave. I’m sure your parents are proud of you from above.”
