A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 454

For Linda, having saved Emily from committing suicide was not a big deal. It was something that she had needed to do. But for Emily, it had changed her entire life. Emily would be grateful for what Linda had done forever.

It was a hot summer day, they played a few more rounds of mahjong before lunchtime came.

Charles might be very busy the whole day. He couldn't even come back home for dinner.

Linda didn't want to interrupt him, so she just sent a message to Charles, but Charles hadn't texted her back, yet. Linda didn't think anything of it. She just thought that he might be extremely occupied because of work.

After dinner, Linda finally received Charles's reply.

It wrote, "Honey, have you had dinner already? The company has been keeping me busy today, so I can't be back for dinner, but I'll be home before nine o'clock tonight."

Charles was working a lot lately, so Linda was worried about his health. She responded back with a message, "Is there a lot of work to do in the company? Please take care of your health!"

"Yes. I'll talk to you after I come back home. Something happened in the company, " Charles wrote.

Linda immediately became worried as soon as she read Charles's message. She guessed that it had to be something serious. Otherwise, Charles wouldn't have been so busy these days.

Linda immediately stopped texting back so as not to interrupt him anymore.

At night, Linda had been reading a comic book in the living room when Charles returned home. Charles frowned as he saw Linda reading late at night. He immediately stopped her and said, "Linda, it's late. Stop reading the book. It's not good for your eyes."

Linda put down the book and said with a smile, "It's better to read books than to watch TV. Also, I started reading this comic book during the day, so I wanted to finish it in the evening. Anyway, I was trying to amuse myself while I waited for you."

Charles was with Paul when he went inside the house. Charles took off his suit and handed it to Paul. Then, Paul put it neatly aside.

Linda had been together with Charles for so long. She could easily notice any subtle changes happening to him. When she noticed the weary look on his face and the black rims under his eyes, Linda felt so worried.

"Honey, what have you been busy with these days? Why do you look so tired?" Linda got two glasses of water and brought them to Paul and Charles before she sat next to them.

"Honey, I haven't told you the story about my uncle, my father's younger brother, have I?" said Charles.

"Your uncle?"

Linda searched the memory in her mind. Charles didn't tell her anything about his uncle, but she seemed to have heard a little about him. Linda then remembered that Bun had once told her some rumours about Charles's uncle.

"Well, yes. My uncle is coming back, and we have to fight against him when he arrives. The fight would only have one outcome. Either the domestic Mu's Group would purchase the branch abroad, or the Mu's Group abroad would swallow up our company here, " said Charles with a serious face.

"Is your uncle called George Mu?" asked Linda.

Charles was a little bit surprised, so he asked, "How did you know his name?"

Linda said with a smile, "I've heard about him a long time ago. Bun had mentioned some rumours about your uncle in our chats."
