Chapter 12

Did she need to explain herself again? No matter how much she tried to explain, he wouldn't believe her

So, there was no point in explaining.

The last hope Linda had for William in her heart was extinguished.

She should've realized earlier that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't touch the heart of someone who didn't love her.

She was stubborn and willful to think that she could. In the end, it was merely self-deception

Her eyelids lowered as tears streamed down like pearls from a broken necklace. "Whatever floats your boat."

Linda gave up struggling.

He wouldn't believe her no matter how she explained it. Her words were useless, so it was better to say nothing.

The car drove into a villa that Linda knew of but had never been to.

"William, are you trying to restrict my freedom?" Linda's face was streaked with tears as she looked incredulously at William beside her.

"Yes. What can you do about it?" William was still as arrogant as ever, and he had the right to be. "Until the police confirm that you are not a suspect, you will stay here until I'm sure you're not the culprit." "William, do you really think I'm such an evil person? Do you think that I would harm your mother just to get your attention?""

Linda laughed self-deprecatingly. "But then again, there has never been any trust in our marriage. I guess it's normal for you to think that. William, don't make me hate you, okay?"

William sneered. "Go ahead and hate me.

Linda was escorted by Jay into the villa.

Before leaving, Jay said to her, "Ms. Felix, I believe you, but the current evidence points toward you, so I'm sorry. Boss said if you insist on leaving, you should think about your sister in Flomont." With that, Jay left the villa.

Linda sat dazed on the cold, hard floor.

She thought that after letting go of William, she'd be free of all attachments. She didn't expect that William would target Chloe. She had no choice but to compromise.
