Danica seemed to believe Linda was the cause, but Linda herself suspected there was more to the story Remaining calm, Linda responded, “I believe you might be misinterpreting the situation he doesn’t let personal feelings influence his business decisions. It’s unlikely this evolves you drectly. Your father and brothers should look into the matter.”

“Are you sure?”

Danica looked skeptical, her brow furrowed in doubt.

“Absolutely.” Linda reassured her. “I understand Eric quite well.”

Danica’s expression still showed concern. “So, you’re certain it’s not because of me?”

“Definitely not.” Linda offered comfort. “And it’s not solely on you to fix this. It’s beyond your control”

“You’re right,” Danica replied softly, seeming to grasp the situation better.

After escorting Danica out, Linda’s face took on a more serious expression.

She paused to think before reaching for her phone to dial Eric

“Hello, Linda?” Eric’s voice came through, sounding preoccupied. I’m short on time. What do you need?*

“Okay, straight to the point,” Linda said firmly. “What’s happening with the Clifford family? What actions are you taking?”

Eric was taken aback. “Where did you hear about that?”

“Danica approached me,” Linda replied, letting out a weary sigh. “She’s just a clueless young girl, Eric. Is it necessary to bear a grudge? Why not just drop it?”

Eric hesitated, but then responded with conviction, “I’m sorry, Linda I can’t do that.”

Linda, shocked and increasingly agitated, said, “Why not? Is this about Hadley?”

There was silence from Eric.

With a bitter laugh, Linda asked, “What were you thinking, Eric? Just because Danica insulted Hadley, you’re going after her entire family in retaliation?”

Eric’s voice came sharply, saying, “Yes!”
