A Vengeful Girl

"After we left, Paul took him to the police," answered Charles Mu.

Linda pondered over his reply with her eyebrows frowning, but to no avail. Her cascading long hair fell smoothly down her shoulder, looking gorgeous under the sunlight descending from outside the window.

For a moment, Charles felt bewildered. He was not particularly fond of this girl so much as enjoyed the feeling of talking to her.

Although Linda did destroy Walker Chen's life, but he had it coming.

What Linda did was simply an act of justice.

"Have you found out the killer?" further asked Linda.

"He committed suicide. Paul handed him over to the police, and as standard procedure, they held him in custody pending further trail. Less than half of an hour later, he gulped down a lot of sleeping pills that he had stashed with him and killed himself."

Suicide.

What a mess.

"I do remember that you had a monitor hidden inside his arm. Did it pick up something unusual? For example, did he call anyone? Or maybe some blabberings?

"Lady Linda, have you no common sense? You expect to make a call at the police station?" mocked Charles Mu.

Upon hearing that, Linda looked up and retorted,"I have never been to the police station. How am I supposed to know that they don't allow phone call there? You, on the other hand, sound like a regular there. You surely know a lot about what to expect there."

"Well then, it looks like the Xia clan won't be needing my help anymore."

That again?

"Fine... You are the boss... I am being impertinent, OK? My apology, Young Master Mu."

Linda gave in to his threat. What he said was like an arrow in her Achilles' heel. Without Charles's help, it would be extremely difficult to find out the truth and she would not be able to get back at that malicious step-mother who stabbed her in the back and that dim-witted "sister".

Giving up that easily? Charles stood up from a tailored-made leather chair and walked up to Linda with a smile on his face. He gently lifted her chin with his big hand.
