"Oh, Violet, what are you doing! They are so in love with each other. Let it be."
James Mu immediately took Violet's hand to console her.
Violet then held back her temper, but her words still sounded fierce, "No way. It's indecent in my eyes. Anyway, Charles is in charge of Mu Group. Millions of eyes are fixed on him!"
James knew a thing or two about Violet's concerns.
If Charles' deep love for Linda was noticed by his rivals, they would shift their focus to Linda as a way of hurting Charles.
"Mother, I understand what you mean. Don't worry. I will take care of her. Nobody would ever hurt her."
Charles held Linda tightly with his arm round her shoulders.
"I just want to remind you of that."
Linda, Charles, Violet, and James were on the limousine, behind which
Was Bun in another car. They all headed to RO Hotel.
On the other side, Paul would take doctor Anna and Donna Xie to the hotel.
The engagement party would start at about 5 PM. Charles, as the groom-to-be, would begin to greet guests at 4: 30 PM.
Most guests today were either business leaders or wealthy celebrities, all of whom were business partners of the Mu clan. Therefore, Charles had to greet them.
Linda was taking a rest in lounge alone.
She had drunk a lot of water before, so she felt the need to answer the call of nature.
Somehow, her left eyelid had twitched involuntarily all day long, as if something ominous was going to happen. The engagement party was shrouded in dreadful tranquility. But Linda was going to play it by ear.
She had always been frank and honest. She had never done one single thing to be ashamed of. Nothing could pose a threat to her.
Her high heels and long dress made walking a little bit difficult for her. As soon as she edged closer to the ladies room, an unexpected person showed up. It was Amy Qi.
Last time, when her plan failed, Amy ran away from Mu's villa in a flurry.
But Mu and Qi clans were intimate old friends. Therefore, Amy and her parents also showed up at this engagement party.
Linda was okay with their arrival. After all, the tie between the two clans was rather strong. Two fathers' friendship should not be cut off by her marriage.
Linda threw a glance at her. She didn't even want to talk to Amy. Given the nasty thing Amy had done, speaking to her seemed like a waste of time.
So Linda bypassed her and headed to the ladies room.
Amy Qi noticed that Linda didn't even look at her, so the blaze of anger inside her flared up in a sudden.
"Don't you move! Linda Xia!"
Linda opened the toilet door without looking back, for her bladder was going to explode.
"I'm talking to you, Linda Xia. I know you can hear me!"
Amy spluttered and grabbed Linda's arm with her fingernails pinching into it. Linda felt the prick on her arm and thought, "Fuck, can't she just give me a break?"
