From a distance, Linda saw a dim figure standing at the entrance and quarreling with the security guards.
It seemed he was shouting and swearing.
Derek Xie.
Though his features were vague, from the manner Linda could tell he must be Derek Xie.
Not long ago, at the order of Linda, he was tied up by Bun, and thrown out of the hospital.
Now again?
What a pain in the ass.
Linda's brain was racked with pain. Today it is her engagement ceremony. Why would Derek Xie come and try to ruin it?
Most importantly, the media are here today.
They may come up some exaggerated titles to distort the fact, which may undermine the reputation of both the Mu and the Xia clan.
And scandal was the public's favorite.
Linda was stuck within a dilemma, for she couldn't kick him out of the hotel in front of everybody.
It was true that Derek was her uncle, the brother of her mother, Donna. Though Linda was not Donna's biological daughter, she was raised by her since childhood.
Nobody cared about how Derek treated Linda. They would only say Linda was ungrateful.
Now that she managed to return to the Xia clan, and marry into a rich family, how could she turn her back on her uncle, or even, kick him out?
Linda guessed Derek may come for that 400 thousand.
At this time, Paul, along with Donna and Anna, reached the entrance of RO Hotel.
Donna felt a sense of helplessness, when she saw Derek was making a fuss there.
"Derek, it's Linda's engagement ceremony. Don't do this. We can talk later." Donny was about to pull Derek out of there, and prevented him from further disputing with the security guards.
But ungrateful as Derek, he couldn't understand her kindness.
Abruptly he shook off Donna's hand, "Back off, Linda Xia. Come out quickly!"
It was 9 o'clock in the morning. Inside the hall, the reporters, hearing the commotion, were all wondering what it was about.
Who dare to ruin the engagement ceremony of Charles Mu?
A lunatic?
They flocked to the entrance to see what happened.
"What a psycho......"
Linda's brain was still throbbing with pain. She felt the grip on her waist was tightened. Charles said, "I'm fine. Let's go."
She raised her head and looked into his eyes. They were calm, without disturbance, which also cooled Linda down.
She nodded, "Ok."
"Derek, what's wrong with you! Don't do this."
Though pushed away by Derek, Donna, seeing reporters pouring into the hall with cameras and microphones, hasted to drag him away.
