Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can’t Afford Me Now

Chapter 247 How Dare You Suggest Such Vile Things

Observing Linda’s heated reaction, Hadley suddenly empathized with Eric.

“Linda, are you holding something against Eric?”

“What?” Startled by the question, Linda responded, “What are you implying?”

“You don’t bear a grudge?” With a knowing nod, a wry smile crossed Hadley’s refined features. “Then it seems you’re just incredibly self–centered. Frankly, you desire the affection of both brothers, yet marriage binds you to

only one. You can’t stand the thought of Eric with anyone else…”

“Hadley! Shut up!” Linda cut her off, her face contorting in anger. “What nonsense is this? How dare you

suggest such vile things? Eric and I have a lifelong bond. I prioritize his well–being above all!”

“Save your self–righteous act.”

Hadley’s gaze was cool, her voice even.

“If you really cared as you claim, you wouldn’t have insinuated to me that he would always hold a place for you

in his heart… such remarks.”

The attempt to stir trouble was so evident that anyone could see through it.

“You think highly of yourself, don’t you?” Linda scoffed loudly.

“Me? Not at all.” Hadley tilted her head to the side, pretending to be confused. “Indeed, what significance do I hold? It baffles me as well. Eric made it a point to remind me… that he was injured on my behalf, and it had nothing to do with you. How should I interpret that?”

With a sly grin, Hadley tossed her hair and walked away.

Linda stood there, utterly shocked and lost for words.

Could it be true that Eric really said that?

Had his feelings shifted towards Hadley?

Ernest completed the paperwork and was going back to the OR when he encountered Hadley.

“Ernest.” Hadley greeted him with a nod, intending to continue on her way to avoid another encounter with

Linda.

“Hadley,” Ernest called after her.
