A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 62

Linda clenched Charles Mu's hand subconsciously which soothed her nerve.

"James, sorry for that."

The sudden commotion embarrassed Johnson Xia. He looked at James Mu awkwardly. Little did he know that his second daughter would be so disappointing, which made he regret having spoiled her for so many years.

"It's OK. Johnson, let's get back to the engagement issue. The eighteenth day of this month is a good day. Let's make it the engagement day, shall we?" James Mu smiled slight as if nothing had happened.

Born in a rich family, James Mu had been used to this sort of thing and could easily remain indifferent.

He knew clearly about what Bun was capable of. Linda couldn't possibly get hurt.

"Okay. Well, it's all my fault. I failed to get Linda back earlier. She had gone through a hard time when she wasn't living with us." Johnson Xia looked quite remorseful.

Linda noticed that he had some more grey hairs. He must have been shocked greatly at what happened to Lisa Xia.

"Luckily she's back now. I'll be nice to her after she marries my son." James Mu stroked his mustache and gave an approving look at her.

Being looked at like that, Linda felt a little shy and subconsciously leaned against Charles Mu.

After a small conversation, the engagement ceremony for Linda and Charles Mu was formalized. They would leave the Xia clan for home after the lunch.

Linda wanted to spare some time for a visit to her stepmother Donna Xie.

After Donna Xie was transferred to the private hospital of the Mu clan, Linda requested Anna to give her a detailed physical examination and planned to fetch the body check report this afternoon.

Linda's arrival today had put Johnson Xia in a much better mood, so he drank a lot of wine at table.

Linda asked tentatively.

"Father, didn't you say you would transfer my stepmother to the best hospital? Which hospital was she in? I have not asked you until now. But I'd like to see her this afternoon."

Johnson Xia filled his glass again and replied, "Yes. May arranged that. I didn't ask. I'll ask her when she comes out."

In Johnson Xia's heart, May Shen was always a virtuous and broad-minded woman. She had always been generous to Linda Xia in front of him, which moved him a lot.

Hearing the name of May Shen, Linda and Charles Mu looked at each other in tacit understanding, "Father, in fact, I have visited my stepmother with Charles yesterday... She was in a dilapidated hospital... The hospital was extremely dirty with cockroaches and mosquitoes flying around."

Linda felt like crying as she spoke. Tears rolled down her cheeks from her bright eyes, which was a tear-jerking sight to look upon.

"Girl, that was quite a performance." Charles Mu held Linda in his arms and whispered to her as if he were comforting his sad wife.

"Hum." After the slight humming, Linda kept on crying.

"Someone go get my wife here." shouted Johnson Xia whose face got ghastly pale while he thumped on the table.

The servant next to him trembled and immediately rushed upstairs. Never had he seen his Lord so angry.

At that moment, May Shen was comforting Lisa Xia in her bedroom and asked her to restrain herself. Lisa Xia didn't feel better until May Shen promised to persecute Linda severely.

"My Lady, His Lordship is sending for you."
