Then she spoke up, "This is my dear friend, Linda. We share a special bond. On this joyous occasion, we, the Meadows family, will welcome her as our adopted daughter. From today on, Linda will also be a daughter of the Meadows family. I hope everyone here will look after her."
The crowd's faces showed a mix of confusion and curiosity. Whispers began to ripple through the room.
"Who is this girl? Which family does she belong to? She seems unfamiliar."
"Why are the Meadows suddenly adopting a daughter? Leah truly has a heart of gold, adopting the enemy's daughter as her own, and now another adopted daughter."
"Adopting a daughter is indeed a cause for celebration, but looking at Leah and Mr. Jacob's expressions, they seem more shocked than us. It's as if they didn't know about it beforehand."
At that moment, Leah and Jacob were standing on the stage. Leah knew what was happening. Last night, Lisa had insisted on adopting someone but refused to say who, only mentioning it was a friend. Leah hadn't expected it to be Linda.
How could she not know the name Linda? Three years ago, Chloe attempted suicide because of her.
Chloe and Lucas were childhood sweethearts. During college, Linda suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and Lucas was wrapped around her fingers, hopelessly smitten. Even though he was forced to marry Chloe, he ended up eloping with Linda to a foreign country.
