Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 134

Christina commented curiously, “This jar looks really special. I have not seen this sold anywhere before.”

Even though Charlie didn’t know what she had in mind, the keen look on her face was enough for him to explain. “An old friend made this at home and only sold it to close friends.”

Christina nodded in acknowledgment before a cold gint flashed across her eyes. She then pointed at another jar by the side and asked, “Doesn’t this one look a lot like yours?”

When Charlie’s gaze trailed the trajectory of her finger, his eyes suddenly darkened, for he could recognize the jar anywhere.

Why is it being used here at the Hadley residence for drying chamomile flowers?

Given that the signature on the jar was exactly the same, there was no way he would be mistaken.

All of a sudden, an indescribable emotion filled Char. Not many people knew that the doctor had. advised him to drink chamomile tea for his stomach problems.

He immediately understood why there were so many chamomile plants in the backyard. There were enough clues around for him to come to that conclusion.

Noticing the slight change on Charlie’s face, Christina stopped with her questions.

By the time they returned to the living room, the housekeeper informed them that dinner was ready.

Upon walking in, Julia glanced at Linda, who was still sitting on the couch, and remarked, “This is a family gathering. Outsiders should leave.”

From her speech, there was no mistaking that she was talking about Linda.

The proud Julia would never tolerate Linda joining them at the dining table.

Without any hesitation, Helen walked over to Linda and suggested in a regretful tone, “Please show yourself out.”

Despite being humiliated by the order, Linda was unfazed, for she was confident of Charlie taking her

side.

Standing up in defiance, she met Julia’s gaze brazenly. Now that you’re kicking me out, let’s see who’s going to have dinner with you!

With that thought in mind, Linda walked up to Charlie and remarked in a pitiful voice, “Mrs. Hadley doesn’t want me to stay back for food.” Her voice broke as she spoke.

A glance at Linda’s feigned victimized look was enough for Julia to roll her eyes.

As this wasn’t the first time Linda played the victim, everyone could clearly see through her charade, all except Charlie.

Sniffling softly, Linda snuck a glance at him from the corner of her eyes. He would usually stand up for

her the moment her tears flowed.

As Linda bit her lips, tears began to well up in her eyes. “I know that you don’t welcome me, Mrs. Hadley, but ”

Before she could finish, Julia scoffed, “So why do you insist on coming? Is there something wrong with your sense of judgment?”

Stung by the retort, Linda felt as if she had been slapped twice in the face, to the extent she could even feel a burning sensation in her checks.

Unable to resist herself, Linda gave Charlie’s hand a tug. D*mn it, can’t Charlie see how she’s trying to rip me apart? Why isn’t he fighting back on my behalf?

Linda’s tears were already at the brink of flowing. “Charlie, I…”

Seemingly distracted, Charlie turned around and said “I’ll get the driver to send you home.”

Linda was already on her way out, and the realization of what he had said stopped her in her tracks.
