A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 79

"Mrs. Linda, have a seat!" Wilson's voice was cold and distant. He had lost all respect for Linda. 

Linda trembled. She glanced at Wilson and immediately avoided eye contact. Wilson's gaze was chilling. She didn't have the courage to look him in the eye.

"Mrs. Linda, sit down!" Wilson's voice became colder.

Linda twitched at his voice. She dared not disobey Wilson's order and sat on the edge of the sofa uneasily. She looked up at Wilson and quickly lowered her head.

"Mrs. Linda, are you 52 this year?" Wilson seemed like he was asking a question, but in fact, he already knew the answer.

"Yes, Mr. Wilson!" Linda felt nervous.

Wilson reached in and took a cheque out of his pocket. He quickly signed his name on the cheque. With a poker face, he pushed the cheque in front of Linda.  

Seeing the cheque, Linda burst into tears. "Mr. Wilson, don't, please don't dismiss me!" 

Wilson was indifferent to Linda's tears. He said nonchalantly, "Mrs. Linda, I thought that after so many years, you should understand me well."

Linda cried even louder and began seeking for pity. "Mr. Wilson, you know my situation. My mother has been paralyzed and confined to bed for more than 20 years. My daughter has cerebral palsy. Although she is in her twenties, her intelligence is stuck at the level of a two or three year old child. She has no ability to take care of herself. For more than 20 years, thanks to Miss Rosalie and Mr. Wilson's care for me, I have enough money to hire a caretaker for my mother and my daughter."

Wilson was unmoved and his expression was still grim. A mocking smile appeared on his face. "It's my negligence. I should have dismissed you earlier. In this way, you will have more time and energy to take care of your mother and daughter!"

Hearing Wilson's words, Linda stopped crying and immediately pleaded, "No, it's not like that, Mr. Wilson. Over the years, I am extremely thankful for your care and support. Although Miss Rosalie has passed away, you haven't dismissed me from my job. I'm very grateful to you."

"Linda, take the cheque and leave. I don't want to see you here anymore!" Wilson lost his patience and stood up.

Linda was desperate. Just as Wilson stood up, she rushed over and knelt down at Wilson's feet. She begged in tears as she held onto his pant's leg. 

Alina went downstairs and saw Linda kneeling before Wilson, trying to stop him from leaving by holding onto his pant leg. 

She frowned.

Although Alina knew that she wasn't smart, she understood what had happened today. It must have been Linda who leaked the information to York. She came to know about Alina's marriage to Wilson when she came to deliver breakfast in the morning. Otherwise, if York had known only about the news when it was announced in the afternoon, she wouldn't have been kidnapped so soon.

Alina was not a saint, so when she saw Linda kneeling in front of Wilson, she showed no compassion and did not intend to plead for her.

There was a group of people in this world who did not deserve sympathy. Despite being friendly and kind to them, they would just turn around and backstab you. 

Seeing Alina, Linda immediately let go of Wilson and turned to Alina. She wrapped her arms around Alina's leg and begged in tears for mercy. "Miss Alina, I beg you. Have mercy on me, please help me. Miss Alina, my mother is in her 80s and is confined to bed. My daughter has cerebral palsy. My family's financial situation is really dire. I really need this job with Mr. Wilson. I really need the money. Please, don't let Mr. Wilson send me away!"

After that, she raised her head and looked at Alina with pleading eyes.

Alina calmly said, "Mrs. Linda, let go of me first!"

"Alright!" Linda immediately let go of Alina's leg. She knew that Alina would be easier to convince.

Wilson frowned silently. Was Alina going to plead for Mrs. Linda who caused her harm? She had been hurt so badly, but was she still going to be softhearted to the people who had tried to backstab her?

Alina walked to the sofa and sat down. She glanced at the cheque on the table. It was for a million dollars. 

Linda peered at Alina and then quietly looked at Wilson. She was waiting for Alina to intercede for her.  

However, she didn't.

Alina said to Linda, "Mrs. Linda, take the cheque and leave." She didn't say anything else.

Hearing Alina's words, Linda was shocked.

A look of approval flashed through Wilson's eyes. He was very satisfied with Alina's words. 

A person should be shrewd and decisive. In that way, she would not always be taken advantage of. 

After saying this, Alina took a look at Wilson. "I'm going to prepare dinner!"

It was late for their dinner at seven o'clock.

Although the shock from today's encounter made her feel physically ill, she felt at ease when she was around Scumbag.  

He would always come to her aid like an angel and save her whenever she was in danger. 

Seeing that Alina was going to prepare dinner, Wilson reached out his hand to stop her. He said gently, "Let's go out for dinner. We can eat at home another day!"

Seeing as she had been completely ignored, Linda gritted her teeth and glared at Alina fiercely. She took the cheque on the table, stood up, and bowed to Wilson. "Mr. Wilson, I'm leaving. Thank you for your care. If you need me at any time, just give me a call. I'll be there!"

Wilson ignored her.

Linda took the cheque and hurried to the elevator.

Wilson held Alina's hand and watched the monitor beside the elevator. After he made sure Linda had left, he led Alina to the elevator. 

The elevator slowly descended. When they walked out, Wilson turned around and pressed some buttons. He informed Alina, "I've changed the password, it's now 151126."

"Okay." Alina nodded and bit her lower lip. The password was precisely the day they registered their marriage.
