Sadly, Sarah Shen and Amy Qi would rather endure pain than give up, even though the men they loved didn't love them at all.
"Stop thinking about it. I came here today to tell you a very important thing. You wouldn't believe whom I met at the Nalan clan's house today." Sarah snuffled, raised her head, and looked at the ceiling to stop her tears from falling.
"Whom did you meet?"
Amy was in no mood to discuss irrelevant matters.
Her mood was really low.
"I went to the Nalan clan's house to meet Haley Nalan today. She didn't show up, but Linda did." Sarah still could not believe that the woman she met with today was Linda. Why would Linda Xia show up when she asked for Haley Nalan?
She had met with Haley before. Haley did look a bit like Linda. They had the same eyes. But they weren't the same person, were they?
Sarah knew that Linda was also a descendant of the Nalan clan. Linda's biological mother was Sherry Nalan, who was Lord Nalan's beloved daughter.
Linda looked a lot like her mother Sherry, so it wasn't surprising that Linda looked like Haley, since Haley was a member of the Nalan clan. Sarah tried to find a reasonable explanation since it was hard to believe that Linda and Haley were the same person.
"What are you talking about?" You've seen Linda today? How was that possible?" Amy was shocked. A look of surprise came over her face. It was unbelievable.
"I'm pretty sure that was Linda Xia. I recognized her once I saw her. I'll never forget her face."
"Are you really sure... that she is Linda Xia?"
Amy thought about the day she killed Linda. She had cut Linda's face over and over again with a knife. It gave her a real thrill every time she cut through her face.
"I'm sure of it. But I don't know whether she is the fake one or the real one. You've told me that someone is pretending to be Linda Xia and now lives in the Mu clan's house, right?" Sarah thought about it for a while and replied to Amy.
Amy lost herself in thoughts after she heard Sarah's reply.
'Maybe Linda is not dead?
But how is that possible?' Amy was confused. She remembered that day very well. She had slashed across Linda's pretty face and thrown her into the raging river. There were a lot of undercurrents in that river, making it fast-flowing and dangerous. Once Linda was tossed into the river, her body instantly drifted downstream.
Even if Linda could swim, she would not be able to save herself because she had lapsed into unconsciousness. How could she be alive?
"Did you notice any scars on her face?" Amy refused to believe the woman Sarah saw was the real Linda Xia. That was the last thing she wanted to hear.
She thought that she had managed to defeat and kill her rival, but now, someone was telling her that her rival returned unharmed.
Sarah thought about it again carefully. There seemed to be no scars on Linda's face when she met her this morning.
She shook her head and responded, "I've thought about it very carefully. I don't think there were any scars on her face. If there were, I would have noticed, since the knife wounds heal slowly, and the scars would be visible."
"So, who the hell is she?"
Amy thought about it again, but a chill rippled over her skin. What exactly was going on?
Then, Amy remembered that Derek came to talk to her the other day.
He wanted to exchange a piece of information for money with her. He said that it was about Linda. Linda had showed up in the Mu clan's private hospital.
If the Linda Xia that Derek was talking about was the fake one, she would not have gone to the Mu clan's private hospital to visit Donna Xie.
