A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 48

"Amy Qi went away empty-handed. But her bag was left here. She sent a servant to collect it." answered Linda.

"You mean her bag was left here. And a servant was sent for that?"

Not knowing what he meant, Linda simply nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"

Charles Mu looked harsher. Disgusting as Amy Qi was, if she left her bag here, she wouldn't came back. Because that would be a perfect excuse for her to visit Charles Mu's room again. It was weird that she fetched the bag in a rush. She must have taken away the voice recorder.

"This afternoon, I fetched some files of Walker Chen's case from the public security bureau. There was a voice recorder, containing dubious calls made two weeks before he died."

"Have you listened to the recorder?"

Charles Mu nodded gently, "Yes, I have. Someone instigated Walker Chen to kidnap you and promised to get him out of the public security bureau if he was caught."

"Promised to get him out? Then why had he taken those sleeping pills?" Linda hadn't listened to the recorder. So she still felt confused.

Charles Mu stretched forth his hand gently, pulling Linda Xia back into his arms. He ruffled her hair and nodded, "Yes, someone promised to get him out. As in the recorder, Walker Chen was given an analogous compound as sleeping pills. To get saved, he would take the compound and have a suspended animation. But it seemed the man behind him didn't really mean to get him out. That was a bottle of real sleeping pills."

Nodded Linda, who, while nestling in Charles's arms, contemplated on the possibility of Walker Chen being a mere pawn of someone else's foul plan.

"Well, the recorder doesn't really matter. Because only two words are important. Walker Chen called him Master Adam. We may start from that. There are not too many celebrities in SH."

Linda nodded, "Okay."

Things were getting more complicated. Linda had thought that Walker Chen was hired by her stepmother. But it seemed to be someone else.

If no one betrayed her in the Xia clan, Walker Chen wouldn't have known her whereabouts. That day, except Lisa Xia, only servants of the Xia clan had interacted with her.

"All right. Forget it. I'm with you. I won't let anyone hurt you. My parents are waiting for us in the living room. After we properly meet, we can go home."

Charles Mu smiled tenderly.

"But they managed to get away from this. The Qi family had left your home." said Linda, whose lips curled gloomily.

Charles Mu hold Linda''s hand and left the room. He hurried to the living room, saying, "Well, for Lord Qi's fake, my father took no action against them today. But if they do that again, I don't mind wiping the Qi Group out of SH."

Linda turned around, staring at his serious face. She was convinced by his attentive and serious eyes. Most of all, he was making a promise to her.

In the living room of Mu's main house.

James Mu was inquiring.

He was simply inquiring Bun and Paul.

He cared much about his son. Most of all, he cared about the relationship between his son and his daughter-in-law.

Linda and Charles Mu impressed all servants of the Mu clan when they entered the living room.

The future young Lady of the Mu clan looked gorgeous.

Embraced by Charles Mu, Linda was like a cute kitty. Charles Mu kept his arm around her waist. They two stood together, just like a happy couple.

"How inappropriate."

Violet Xing did not dare to make a scene in James Mu's presence and instead grumbled out her disapproval. Anyway, she hated Linda Xia more.

But what happened today drove a wedge between her, Amy Qi and Amanda Zhang.

How dared they drug her son? And it was a strong drug that would hurt her son.

"Hello, Lord Mu, Lady Mu." Linda greeted warmly.

"Father, Mother. Will that be all? We gotta go back home." said Charles Mu dryly.

All four of them tacitly avoided the mentioning of the Qi clan.

"Well, you've known each other for a while. You seem to be on good terms. It's time for an engagement ceremony. Otherwise, someone may not give up making trouble."

James Mu nodded and glimpsed at Violet Xing.

He looked poker-faced, but Violet Xing felt scared.

James Mu had always been good-tempered. He had been nice to her in the past decades. Basically, he gave her whatever she wanted. His poker face was a sign of anger.

Violet Xing felt dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to say more.

"Father, you shall set the date for engagement." Charles Mu said.

"All right. 17th of this month is an auspicious day. I have it checked. You may get engaged that day. Let's go to the Xia clan tomorrow to settle it down. What do you think?"

"Okay."

Linda kept a faint smile all the time without saying anything, leaving Charles in charge of the conversation.

With her hands being firmly held by Charles, Linda could feel the warmth from his fingers. She didn't know how to express her feelings.

She was to get engaged.

On the way back home.

"Young master, you know what? When Bro Paul called and told us you were in a coma in the main house, Lady Linda was very nervous. She grabbed my hand, asking how fast I can get her here." Sitting in the front passenger seat, Lily turned around to tease her.

"Oh, really?" Charles Mu gave a rare pleasant smile. Paul, who was driving, also gave a crooked smile uncontrollably at Bun's joke.

Bun was about to embroider the story when Linda took a hold pillow and threw it at her head. "Damn, you talked too much!"

"Sorry. My bad. My Lady." Bun found Linda's face flushed bright red and she was about to get angry. Bun didn't dare to say anything more.

Charles Mu stared at the girl beside him. She looked infurious with red cheeks and pursed pink lips. She looked attractive beyond description.

Their eyes met as Charles gently held her waist with his arms and swiveled her jaw towards himself. At that moment, Linda caught a hint of affection in his eyes, but before she could react, Charles hugged her and gave her a deep kiss.

Lily and Paul were still in the car. How impetuous he was...

Linda managed to push him away, but he held her waist harder with his arms to intensify the kiss .Linda fell again into his arms.
