A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 17

"After we left, Paul took him to the police," answered Charles Mu.

Linda pondered over his reply with her eyebrows frowning, but to no avail. Her cascading long hair fell smoothly down her shoulder, looking gorgeous under the sunlight descending from outside the window.

For a moment, Charles felt bewildered. He was not particularly fond of this girl so much as enjoyed the feeling of talking to her.

Although Linda did destroy Walker Chen's life, but he had it coming.

What Linda did was simply an act of justice.

"Have you found out the killer?" further asked Linda.

"He committed suicide. Paul handed him over to the police, and as standard procedure, they held him in custody pending further trail. Less than half of an hour later, he gulped down a lot of sleeping pills that he had stashed with him and killed himself."

Suicide.

What a mess.

"I do remember that you had a monitor hidden inside his arm. Did it pick up something unusual? For example, did he call anyone? Or maybe some blabberings?

"Lady Linda, have you no common sense? You expect to make a call at the police station?" mocked Charles Mu.

Upon hearing that, Linda looked up and retorted,"I have never been to the police station. How am I supposed to know that they don't allow phone call there? You, on the other hand, sound like a regular there. You surely know a lot about what to expect there."

"Well then, it looks like the Xia clan won't be needing my help anymore."

That again?

"Fine... You are the boss... I am being impertinent, OK? My apology, Young Master Mu."

Linda gave in to his threat. What he said was like an arrow in her Achilles' heel. Without Charles's help, it would be extremely difficult to find out the truth and she would not be able to get back at that malicious step-mother who stabbed her in the back and that dim-witted "sister".

Giving up that easily? Charles stood up from a tailored-made leather chair and walked up to Linda with a smile on his face. He gently lifted her chin with his big hand.

"Apology? What good is an apology when one doesn't mean it?"

"What do you want then?" asked Linda. She had already apologized. What more did he want from her?

"Well, you can do better than that."

Charles's reply caught Linda off guard and her face was all twisted. She subconsciously slapped Charles's hands off and tried to walk away, only to be pulled back and hugged by that shameless man.

Much to her embarrassment, Linda could feel his thumping heartbeats via a thin layer of clothes.

Linda's ears were burning with embarrassment. Was this man addicted to taking advantage of her? Hugging her whenever he felt like it?

"Let go of me, you pervert!"

"You are my fiancee. Can't I hug my fiancee? Well?"

Those two once again found themselves entangled in a verbal dispute, which ended up with Linda biting Charles on the shoulder and Charles dropping her to the floor.

Paul had been waiting outside the door. He was all sweaty when he heard those two chatting inside. The young Master and the Lady were flirting... And he happened to hear that.

Paul had never had a girl friend before. He was ten when he was brought into the Mu clan and he started to learn his trade when he was fifteen. He had since become a skilled squire of Charles Mu. Still, his face blushed when he heard what was going on inside the room.

As Linda was leaving the Charles's study, she was surprised and embarrassed to see Paul standing at the door. "Hi, Paul..."

"My Lady... I just got here and I honestly did not hear anything. Believe me."

What was the saying about he who denies all confesses all?

Paul thought it best to shut up.

After leaving the study, Linda went back to her room.
