Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 190

Chapter 190 A Cheat

Was Linda talking about Ernest?

A puzzled look crossed Eric’s face.

His memories of Ernest and Linda painted a picture of harmony; they rarely disagreed.

Ernest, in particular, had always been accommodating ever since they started dating, always putting Linda’s wishes first.

But what had changed lately?

Ever since Ernest woke up from his

coma, tension seemed to have grown between them.

Yet, Eric couldn’t just ignore Ernest’s situation. “Linda, perhaps it’s best to discuss everything openly with

He reached for the door.

Soon after, Ernest entered, his hair and shoulders lightly covered in snow.

“Linda,” he said as he maneuvered his wheelchair closer. “Let’s not trouble Eric and Hadley any further. It’s getting late, they need their rest. Let’s go home.”

“I will not go anywhere with you!” Linda’s refusal was adamant, as Eric had anticipated.

Linda’s eyes were red as she sneered. “What’s the rush to take me away? Scared I’ll spill your secrets?”

Her gaze deliberately shifted to Hadley.

Confused, Hadley wondered why Linda was involving her in this spat. This was between Linda and Ernest, wasn’t it?

Linda continued, “Scared they’ll learn their respected brother is nothing but a cheat and a scoundrel?”

Shocked, Hadley could hardly believe what she was hearing.

She glanced at Eric, who appeared unfazed by the accusation. Did he already know?

“Linda,” Ernest said, his expression tight with frustration yet marked by a refined handsomeness.

He made another attempt to calm her. “Please, come home with me. You’re misunderstanding the situation”

But Linda stood firm. “I won’t leave!”

No plea from Ernest could sway Linda “Get out of my sight! I can’t stand looking at you!”

“Linda, please!” Ernest called out desperately as he grabbed her arm. “Let’s not cause a scene here, not in front of Eric and Hadley”
