Charles's heart was torn at the thought of it. He had no idea what exactly Robert would do to Linda.
When Charles and Robert were kids, they were good friends. But as they grew older, they also grew apart. After a series of incidents, they had gone their separate ways. They hadn't talked to each other for ages.
Charles always thought about what had happened to their friendship. He didn't do anything wrong. If the Huo brothers blamed him for something he didn't do and decided to isolate him, then it was their problem. There was nothing he could do about it.
Whenever he came across them while doing business, he always treated them with leniency because they went way back.
However, things were different now. Robert openly challenged him by abducting his lover!
Charles was furious at Robert's dirty tricks. He even dared to send a fake Linda who disgusted him.
"Are you working for Robert?" Charles glared at her.
Lisa was surprised at his accusation, but she remained calm and decided to lie for her own sake. She knew very well that she had to deny everything; otherwise, she would be ruined.
Once Charles found out about the truth, he would ask her to bear the consequences.
Charles only suspected her but he had no proof. As long as the real Linda was nowhere to be found, she was safe because she looked exactly like Linda. There was nothing Charles could do to her for now.
"Young Master Mu, what are you talking about? I am Linda. I have told you multiple times that I am really Linda. How come you don't recognize me anymore?"
Lisa pouted. Her eyes were still wet with tears. The sight disgusted Charles greatly as he furrowed his eyebrows in distress.
He simply couldn't stand her cheap-ass crocodile tears anymore. Whenever he questioned her identity, she would use her tears as a weapon.
Charles turned his head away as he couldn't bear looking at her sad face. She had the same face as Linda's, and even though this woman wasn't her, it still hurt him to see Linda's face crying in front of him. His heart ached with guilt and confusion. He even wondered whether he did anything wrong or not.
Charles shook his head violently. A voice echoed in his head, saying that this woman was not his beloved. She was not Linda Xia.
Charles was tortured by his own thoughts. On one hand, he felt furious whenever she touched him because he knew that she was a fake.
On the other hand, the sight of her crying face made him sad. He wanted to wipe the tears off her face so badly.
If the woman crying in front of him was the real Linda, he would do literally anything for her. He would spoil her with whatever she wanted.
But the real Linda was gone. Lisa seized the opportunity and took full advantage of the situation. She knew that Charles could not find his Linda anymore.
The real Linda died in the river. Her body had already sunk to the bottom.
Charles touched his forehead in frustration. He didn't know what to do with the woman sitting on the floor. His heart was torn between guilt and fury.
With a dark face, he bent down, looked her in the eyes, and said, "I am asking you one last time. Who sent you to me?"
Lisa was petrified by his stare. However, for the sake of her own life, her face remained unwavered, and she bravely replied, "I am Linda!"
