Chapter 33
Linda gave Hannah a contemptuous look and remarked, "You don't have the right to talk to me like that,
Hannah. You'll always be beneath me, whether in the past or now."
Hannah glared back, her eyes filled with defiance. If glares could kill, Linda would be long gone.
"I've been through hell and back. I'm not a coward, unlike you guys," Linda declared.
"Linda, you'll regret this!" Hannah threatened, unwilling to back down.
"We'll see about that," Linda replied, not bothering to look back as she walked away with her glass of
grape juice.
Enraged, Hannah waited until Linda entered the elevator before pulling out her phone and making a call. She said menacingly, "I'm in. You better fulfill your promise."
The person on the line chuckled. "Ms. Hannah, relax. She's our common foe. Why wouldn't I keep my
word?
"What do you need from me?" Hannah asked.
"Some things are better said in person. We need to meet face to face."
"Where should we meet?" Hannah was now desperate for Linda's downfall.
"I'll send the location to your phone shortly. I trust you'll be on time."
After the call ended, Hannah received the address. She quickly grabbed a cab and left the hotel.
As soon as she left, the hotel manager notified Linda.
Linda wasn't scared of Hannah as she couldn't cause substantial trouble. But whether she'd take
desperate actions was another issue. Linda had to be cautious of those like Joanne, who wished for her
death.
She wasn't intimidated by the Clay family. What troubled her were the networks Joanne had forged over the years with the Wilson family.
Linda intended to acquire those connections for herself. With more backing, she could advance her plans with greater ease.
Linda's ambitions were focused and clear. Eager to make the most of her time, she was set on achieving
as much as possible in the shortest time.
Deep down, she knew she was avoiding something. She knew too well that she couldn't let go of her feelings for William. He was the person she loved and who affected her life more than anyone else.
Linda didn't want to push herself into doing things she wasn't ready for, such as forgetting him. It was something she found impossible. So, the best approach was to avoid it.
She couldn't remain trapped in William's shadow forever and needed to move on to a better life. Under Chapter 33
the present conditions, she saw avoidance as the best way forward.
2/2
As Ida continued her confusing behavior, Chloe stopped presenting solid evidence of Ida's plagiarism. Ida
became increasingly full of herself.
Since this issue involved Linda, some internet sleuths unearthed old photos from her marriage to William. She gazed longingly at his back in every picture, but he never glanced her way. Soon enough, a new trending topic appeared online-"Unrequited Love is Truly Miserable". Linda saw the discussions and burst into laughter.
Sitting by the bed with a book, Chloe turned to her and asked, "What's so funny, Linda?"
