A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 165

Every year, Adam Huo would send his brother Robert a gift, which he would leave on Robert's desk.

As Robert dried his hair with a towel, he glanced at his table only to find it empty. Where was the gift that Adam talked about?

Had he forgotten to leave it there?

Robert couldn't help but feel strange.

Despite taking a shower, a whole day of teaching still left Robert a bit too woozy to contemplate on this.

In any case, Robert didn't really care what the gift turned out to be. He cared much more about Adam's thoughts behind the gift.

Adam should still be satisfied with his older brother.

Robert decided to ask Adam about it when he came back the next day. Perhaps his little brother simply forgot to leave the gift. No longer concerned, Robert noticed that it was already late, and wanted to get some sleep.

Turning to his bed, Robert immediately felt something was wrong with it. The bed was well-made except for the bump in the middle, which didn't seem to be a pillow.

Was there someone in there?

Robert was taken aback. Frowning, he carefully approached the bed and pulled back the covers.

In front of him lay Linda Xia. She was fast asleep on the bed, her eyes closed and her breaths steady.

What on earth was happening? How could Linda be here?

"Linda, " Robert called out gently. Linda didn't respond, lying motionless in bed like a porcelain doll. Her unearthly beauty still seemed so ethereal, it was almost suffocating.

Suppressing his desires, Robert shook Linda's body but got no reaction. Could she have been drugged?

Robert put his fingers under Linda's nose, and was relieved to feel her even breathing. It was normal and stable, so there shouldn't be anything wrong.

On the nightstand, there was a piece of paper beneath a drinking glass. Robert picked it up and recognized Adam's handwriting.

"Big brother, this is my birthday gift to you. Do you like it? Remember to enjoy yourself! One has to pursue his happiness, and sometimes that means taking special measures. After all, it's every man for himself out here. Tonight, if not for yourself, I hope for my sake, you could... Well, your little brother will stop right there. She's not waking up until morning, so whatever you want to do with her, get on with it."

Reading the note, Robert didn't know whether to cry or laugh. What did he mean to do it for his brother, if not for him? It seemed that Adam still harbored intense hatred against Charles Mu.

But what happened years ago wasn't really Charles' fault. In the end, everyone was to blame.

More accurately, everyone was young and naive, so things turned out like that.

The only thing Robert wanted to do was bury all that in the past.

Sitting on the bedside and looking at the woman in her silent slumber, Robert would be lying if he said he didn't feel anything.
