A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 85

The body of Donna shivered. She kept staring at Linda with mixed feeling in her eyes, but in the end, words seemed to have failed her.

Linda just wanted to know her concerns.

She didn't expect Donna to react like that.

Why would Donna refuse to meet with Johnson?

Have they met before?

Or......

Is it possible that her foster mother had had an affair with his father......

Suddenly this idea popped out in Linda's mind.

"Mom, Is there something...... between you and dad...... that I don't know......."

Hearing this, Donna burst into anger and said:" What are you talking about?" Nothing would ever happen between me and His Lordship."

"His Lordship?"

Linda repeated. She had never heard Donna called her dad Lord before.

"......" Staring at Linda, Donna signed, "Linda, smart as you, I don't think we can hide anything from you."

Donna picked up the nearby glass, drank some hot water, and said: "When Lady Nalan married to the Xia clan, I was with her. Lord Xia soon walked down the aisle with Lady Nalan."

"How were things between them?"

Though Johnson Xia once said they were closed to each other, Linda couldn't help asking this question again, for if you want to figure out the truth, you must concentrate on the details.

"When they first married, Lady Nalan didn't like Lord Xia. After all, it was an arranged marriage between two families. As day went by, they gradually got on with each other. As the saying goes: 'Familiarity breeds fondness'..."

"Besides, the marriage was proposed by the Xia clan. So even if Lord Xia didn't like her, he would pretend to do so. "

Linda didn't say anything, just listening to what Donna said.

"Even so, I could see they had fallen in love with each other. Lady Nalan loved traveling, so Lord Xia would spare some time every month to be with her. "

"Later...... when Lady Nalan was pregnant with you, His Lordship grew more fond of her, and would come back home to keep her company the moment he finished his work at the firm. However, at the night when you were born...... Butler Zhou reached out to me, with you inside his arms. He told me to take you away, and never come back, or else you would be in danger. He said that the Xia clan had hired assassins to kill you. I had to take you somewhere they would never find. "

"I was so scared that I took you away from this city and fled to my hometown. It was only when you reached ten that I came back here. I found...... Butler Zhou had lied to me. I was regretful when I heard Lady Nalan had tried every means to look for you. She missed you so much that she eventually fell ill and passed away...... But I still didn't have the courage to send you back."

It all happened so fast. Linda couldn't process it at once and felt a headache.

"It's not your fault...... You took me away from the Xia clan to keep me safe. You left the city, and raised me all by yourself. It's my father who should be thanking you!" It won't be much of an engagement party without your presence."

"But how can I face Lord Xia? If I had not fallen in love with Butler Zhou, I would not trust him that Lord Xia was trying to kill you because Lady Nalan had gave birth to a girl rather than a boy...... You shouldn't have suffered such hardship with me for the last twenty years......"

Butler Zhou? He was the biological father of Vincent Zhou and Lisa Xia.

Linda suddenly wondered Who on earth was this Butler Zhou?

"Mom, everything will be alright. Father won't blame you. Tomorrow I will have Bun take you to the engagement party. It is settled. Trust me, OK?" Holding Donna's hands, Linda said convincingly.

Donna opened her mouth, but eventually didn't refuse Linda's offer, "Alright."

Linda threw away all the stale fruit sent by Derek. Then she went to the nearby fruit store to buy some fresh ones. She cut them into small pieces, and before she left, she asked Donna to take her medication on time and have a rest.

On her way home.
