Chapter 124
Linda hoped that she had made a mistake as well.
However, she had a very good memory since she was in high school, and she never forgot the people she had met before.
Even if someone was wearing a mask, their eyes would not change.
The more Linda thought about it, the more skeptical she became. She pitched her voice low and said, “In any case, just keep an eye on her. We still don’t know if she really is the daughter of the Hamertons or not.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Cordelia’s eyes went big in shock.
“What I’m trying to say is that you should always stay vigilant so that bad people won't take advantage of you!”
“But Linda…” Cordelia mumbled after a short while, “If she really isn't the daughter of the Hamertons, then what is her purpose in approaching me? Besides, the charity dinner last time was specifically held for her, and Yelena personally confirmed her identity!
”Even if she can deceive me, can she lie through the eyes of the Jenners and everyone else?”
“How can you trust your sister? She’s an idiot!” Linda chuckled. “This isn’t the first time she has recognized the wrong person! Isn't she the one who recognized the boss of that shell company?”
Cordelia bit her lips and fell silent.
“Trust me, Cordelia. I’m just worried about your safety!” Linda said, “Sigh, you have many good qualities, but one thing bad about you is that you’re too trusting. Even though this Zennie saved you before, it doesn’t mean that you need to pay her back the favor and treat her as your friend.
“For example, Marcus…” She paused for a moment before continuing. “Although he’s your husband, you can’t treat him with all your heart. We can’t read other people’s minds. What if something happens to your marriage? You'll be devastated. How are you going to live then?”
“What are you talking about, Linda?” Cordelia raised her head and looked at Linda, her gaze so sharp that it made Linda’s face red.
She knew that Linda was outspoken, but she did not expect her to defame her husband.
Cordelia frowned. “Linda, I know you’re worried about me, but aren’t we talking about Zennie? Why did you suddenly bring Marcus into this?
“You'll never get rid of your prejudice against him, will you?”
“Cordelia, I—”
“You’re my most important friend, but why must you point fingers at my marriage and the man I love?”
Cordelia’s chest was huffing up and down rapidly. She was both sad and disappointed.
No matter how close they were, they must not cross the line.
Linda took two steps back, and her face sank.
However, she did not apologize to Cordelia.
Cordelia looked at her and returned to her office. Linda wanted to stop her, but no words could come out of her mouth.
…
The next weekend, Linda went hiking alone.
When she and Cordelia were in college, they would go hiking together on weekends. They had left their footprints on nearly all of the hills and mountains in Jangasas.
But now, she was left alone.
Linda did regret what she had said that day. Her emotions had gotten the best of her, and when she calmed down, she realized that the things she had said were rather hurtful for Cordelia.
However, she still could not bring herself to apologize to Cordelia.
No matter if she was in college or at work, she had always been the leader. She had never lowered her head at other people before.
In any case, Cordelia had a new friend right now. She would not want her anymore.
The more Linda thought about it, the more upset she became. She picked up her pace and got faster and faster.
However, when she reached the mountain's halfway point, she instantly lost her balance and fell on her butt in a bush.
Then, a sense of pain spread from her ankle.
