A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 6

Linda did not put down her dress until she reached her room to have her dress changed.

The cuts were neat. However, as the servant was about to took over the dress, Linda intervened.

"I have no need of it anymore. Throw it away."

That is right. She cut off the laces herself. Lisa only cut off one lace when she was here.

So, why not cutting all the laces? After all, wasn't this what Lisa would have wanted? Linda was only finishing what she started.

Lisa kept pleading her innocence, but was unable to do so without divulging her involvement in cutting that one lace. Johnson Xia gave her an angry glance and led Charles Mu to the living room.

By the time Linda went downstairs in her new dress, Johnson and his wife had already been seated and Lisa was bustling around Charles Mu to set the table.

May Shen did not object to her daughter taking the initiative. She acted as if she was urging her daughter to woo this "good guy".

"Please have some tea, Young Master Mu."

"Please have some fruits, Young Master Mu."

Sensing the aloofness of Charles Mu, Johnson Xia's frown grew deeper.

"What an industrious girl sister Lisa is! If I did not know any better, I would think there is a pretty maid in the Xia clan."

Linda sat across from Charles Mu, who were still wearing a cold face as if the whole world was in debt to him.

"Nonsense, sister. I only think proper hospitality is in order when a guest this important is in our house, " blushed Lisa with ill-disguised mirth on her face.

"I must beg your forgiveness, " smiled Johnson Xia awkwardly.

Charles Mu watched everything that was going on with the members of this family with a poker face. But across the table, Linda was busy drinking her soup without so much as a sideways glance at Charles Mu.

"Did Lady Linda have fun last night?" said Charles Mu after a good while with clear jeer on his face.

Cough...

Linda almost choked on the soup. She looked up at Charles after finally stopped coughing, looking irritated.

"Yes I did." Seeing the mocking look on May Shen's face, Linda gave a quick reply before lowering her head again.

It was clear that Charles abhorred her. Although the jeer and disgust on his face were not that obvious, she was not blind to it. So he is the influential Young Master of SH City, big deal?

He can not be that vain as to think that every woman wants to crawl into his bed.

With this thought, Linda curled her lips and secretly rolled her eyes at Charles Mu when he was not looking.

Then she came up with a better idea. Linda stretched her leg forward and trampled on his leather shoe with her high heel.

Though not feeling any pain, Charles was still caught off guard by this unexpected assault so much so that he knocked the glass of red wine off and the splashing wine was all over his custom tailored suit.

"I am terribly sorry. I did not mean it."

Linda withdrew her leg languidly and then offered to clean Charles up while wearing a fake worrying look on her face.

"Linda Xia, you are a country girl indeed. You can not even finish a meal without stretching out your legs!"

After seeing Charles frowning, Lisa immediately turned around and yelled at Linda.

"Yes, I am a country girl without much care for the table manners that you wealthy families value so much."

Lisa was about to lose her temper yet Johnson stopped her.

"Linda, take Young Master Mu to clean himself up."

Reluctantly, Linda left with Charles with a pout on her face. Leaping out of the seat, Lisa intended to join them, but she was instead halted by Johnson's glare.

Lisa was furious, stomping her feet in anger.

"Father, I should be the one who goes instead of that uncouth country girl. We would not want to displease the Young Master Mu."

"Lisa, you should know that it is your sister Linda who is getting married."

Johnson Xia gave a deep sigh, not knowing whether to feel happy or melancholy.

Linda helped Charles take off his suit and was about to take her leave after she threw the dirty laundry to the servant.

But Charles Mu grabbed her from behind by the clothes on her back.

"What are you doing?"
