Lord Nalan always had such a temperament, and he deeply cared for Linda, so his reactions were perfectly reasonable.
"Grandfather, please don't get mad at me. I have overlooked this matter. Later, I'll have Paul get on it as soon as possible, "
Charles said patiently.
But Lord Nalan just glanced at him and said, "That's it? That's how you want to get it over with? Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"
Standing on the side, Linda couldn't help but laugh at Charles's anxious face.
She felt that Charles had finally met his match. Lord Nalan was the only person who could unsettle Charles like this, for he had the final say on Linda's marriage. Therefore, Charles had no choice but to keep him happy.
But Lord Nalan was really unhappy at the moment.
Charles had assured him without hesitation that future announcements and interviews of Sophia Liu would be subjected to her agent's careful discretion before she would make the same mistake. Otherwise, she would be totally banned from speaking in public.
Charles couldn't personally deny the rumors. If he did, he would be publicly humiliating a celebrity of his own company.
But if he didn't, he would not be able to bring justice to Linda. Sophia made some ill remarks which had made her sound like a third wheel.
"Grandfather, this matter shall pass. I will handle it properly. Please trust me. How about we play a few rounds of go together?"
Charles racked his brains, trying to find a way to cheer Lord Nalan up.
Lord Nalan looked at him, intending to turn him down, but he was desperate for a game of go. His subordinates dared not win against him, or they were just bad at go, so he found it boring to play with them.
Playing with Charles was different. Richard could actually feel tension. If he had left a single piece unguarded, he might lose the game.
"All right then. I will let go of it this one time, but such thing should never happen again, "
Lord Nalan snorted, turned around, and left.
A servant by the doorway came in and said, "My Lady, My Lord, and Young Master Mu, there is a lady called Miss Shen who is here to visit Your Ladyship."
"Miss Shen? Is it Sarah Shen again?"
Charles was ready to leave with Lord Nalan. But he turned around upon hearing the name Sarah Shen and said with a frown, "Why is she here? Does she already know that Haley Nalan is Linda Xia?"
"No, she doesn't, but I intend to tell her today." Linda registered a smile on her face.
Last time, when Sarah came over, Linda didn't show up personally. She just taught her a lesson. Sarah must have held a grudge since, and that was why she was here again today.
The invitation sent over by Sarah last time was not just a simple card, but it was one smeared with poison.
Sarah might have come over to check how she was doing.
Linda had decided not to avoid her this time. Now that she was back with Charles, she wouldn't care if her identity was exposed.
