Never Blinded by Love

Chapter 6

Linda glanced at the caller ID and pursed her lips. After a moment of contemplation, she decided to answer the call. Her fingers swiped across the screen, and she raised the phone to her ear. Before she could say anything. Tom's voice roared through the receiver as he unleashed a barrage of

accusations.

Tom, always one to bully the weak and exploit the vulnerable, had always found Linda easy to intimidate.

He yelled, "Linda, do you have any idea how much your divorce from William has impacted Felix Group's stock market?

"And how did 47 percent of Felix Group's shares suddenly end up under your name? When did you and Chloe acquire those properties? I haven't seen your father's will!

"Linda, after your parents died, I protected you wholeheartedly. Is this how you repay me? You got a divorce from William without a word, leaving me with this mess at Felix Group!" For 20 years, Tom had quietly bided his time, waiting to take control of Felix Group.

Linda took a deep breath, and the cold air made her shiver. She replied coldly. "Tom, don't you find your accusations a bit ridiculous? You've always played the fool to gain my father's trust and support "Because of him, you got to live comfortably while he was still alive. What more do you want? Without my father, do you think you'd have any standing in Osmo or be respected as Mr. Felix?"
