A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 170

If Linda wanted to get to the bottom of this salary discrepancy, Charles would not hesitate to support her.

"My Lady, the one in charge of our salary is Thomas Liu. He is also in charge of the school's daily expenditure as well as funding and scholarships financed by Mu Clan." Bun summarised the text message that she had received.

Linda looked at Charles and asked "How much money does the Mu Clan finance the school every year?"

"Well, to my knowledge, it's quite a lot. The Mu Clan has dedicated almost thirty thousand Yuan towards scholarships for the students who deserve them. Additionally, funds are usually transferred to the school on a need basis. I can't be sure about the exact number until I look at the books. Why?"

"Hmm, I don't know yet." Linda sat there thinking. Soon after, they arrived at the Mu manor.

Charles packed his car and walked into the house hand in hand with Linda.

Violet and James were waiting for them in the living room. Dishes were already laid out on the dining table.

Stepping into the living room, Linda smelled chicken wings cooked with cola.

Her stomach grumbled in appreciation for the sweet smell emitting from the kitchen. She commented, "Something smells delicious."

Hearing Linda's words, Violet rolled her eyes, "Is eating the only thing you do every day, all you think about?"

"Violet..."

James reprimanded Violet. He didn't understand why his wife always nit-picked at everything Linda said or did. "Let the girl enjoy herself. What's wrong with appreciating the smell of food? Stop it!"

"What? James Mu, I am about to be her mother-in-law. I have the right to teach her!" Hearing James standing up for Linda, Violet became upset.

"All right. Suit yourself." James shrugged, and fixated on the newspaper in front of him.

Linda knew that Violet had a short fuse. She didn't fear anybody, even James, when she was losing her temper. Linda didn't dare to talk back and averted her eyes to the ground beneath her. Her hand was still interlocked with Charles'. He gave her a reassuring squeeze. Even he knew not to add fuel to the fire.

They took a seat opposite Charles' parents. James and Charles engaged in a lively conversation about the business, whilst Violet took the opportunity to stare down at Linda. Linda could not do anything, but avoid her eyes. A few minutes later, a servant came up with a bowl, "My lady. The medicine is ready."

Violet took the bowl and walked to Linda, "Drink it first!"

The liquid in the bowl smelled strange. Linda pinched her nose and asked, "What's this?"

Violet rolled her eyes at Linda, "Just drink it. Trust me, I won't poison you."

Linda looked at Charles, trying to get some help. Charles tried not to laugh.

"Mother... What's this." Charles tried to dampen the awkward situation.

Seeing how Charles came to Linda's rescue, Violet become angrier. She glared at James and Charles, "Do you think I am an evil-minded woman trying to poison my own soon-to-be daughter-in-law? This medicine is good for Linda. It's conducive to having a baby!"
