A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 167

With red eyes and an exhausted face, Charles' knotted eyebrows relaxed at the sight of Linda. Seeing this, Linda was moved. He must really hold her dear to his heart.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost sleep in his relentless search for her.

"You didn't sleep last night?"

Charles nodded as he approached Linda. "Honey, let's go home."

"Alright." Linda nodded and walked out hand in hand with Charles.

Robert had thought that Charles would angrily interrogate him but to his surprise, Charles didn't even look at him, the master of the villa. He simply took Linda away right in front of him without a greeting.

Although Charles didn't ask, Robert thought it necessary to explain to avoid any misunderstanding that might hurt Linda and her happiness. Robert called out, "Wait a minute, Charles! I can explain. Nothing happened between Linda and I last night."

Charles stopped to turn around and looked at him with an unreadable expression.

"You don't have to explain. And I don't want to hear it."

With that, he left the house with Linda.

As they drove home, Charles Mu remained silent, leaning on Linda's shoulder to rest with his eyes closed. He had stayed up all night.

Showing a great deal of affection towards him, Linda said in a soft voice, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault, I was too careless. If I had been more careful, I wouldn't have been abducted and you wouldn't have ended up staying up all night. Look at you! You're exhausted."

"I'm glad that you're alright." Charles didn't fall asleep. He leaned on Linda, who smelled so familiar and reassuring. Although he felt tired, he couldn't rest yet. He had loads of work to deal with in the company today.

"I'm confused about one thing. Why did Robert abduct me?"

"Robert isn't the one to blame."

"Who else? Did he have nothing else to do? Why tie me up on his bed?"

"I think it might be Robert's brother, Adam Huo."

"Adam Huo? The name sounds familiar."

"I assume May Shen's old lover was Adam Huo. I haven't looked into it because Huo Zi and I were on good terms. But we drifted away in the end. I felt sorry for him, so I let my guard down with him in recent years. It had never occurred to me that he would one day strike out against you."

Charles knew through special connections that Robert has a lot of dirty business under the table. Underneath the nerdy and reserved Master Adam persona

Who seemed indifferent to the worldly business, He had been involved in dirty work like drug-dealing, business fraud, and wildlife smuggling. In every illegal deal that provided high profits, Adam Huo was a part of it.
