Holly Benett sighed helplessly.
“I know you’re in a bad mood. As your mother, the last thing I want is to give you unneeded pressure,
but don’t you think it’s strange that she agreed to it so easily when she was fully against it before the
accident?”
Carle’s chest tightened.
He was in denial. He knew the answer… But he just couldn’t bring himself to face the truth.
“Mom, I don’t want to talk about it.”
Holly sighed. Seeing that he was distressed about the entire thing, she decided to keep her thoughts to
herself. She patted him on the shoulder. “I won’t say another word. You need to relax. Don’t overthink
it.”
In the end, Holly still couldn’t tell him how she felt about it.

this to pull himself out.
…
Meanwhile, two more were people paying close attention to what was trending at the moment.
It was Linda and her mother.
The both of them sat staring at the phone in the room. Linda’s hand was trembling.
She was furious!
Rose feared Linda would do something drastic. She quickly spoke up, “There is no way this is real. You
know how standoffish Gareth is. He would never beg Elisa to remarry him. This is obviously fake news.
It’s completely possible Elisa made this up to set you off.”
Linda gritted her teeth and glared at the phone. “There’s no smoke without fire. There might be some
exaggeration, but something must have happened!” She fumed.
She did not want to believe it, but the truth was staring her right in the face. She knew there was
something fishy going on!
Rose frowned and shook her head. “I don’t think so. His pride alone would prevent him from doing that.
Someone must have misconstrued things and made the rumor up. And as I said before, it’s more than
likely Elisa cooked up the whole thing.”
Linda’s features twisted into a grimace. “I believed in her. I trusted her when she said she lost faith in
Gareth and gave up on their relationship. And now, she’s going behind my back to get back together
with him!!!”
Rose sighed exasperatedly. “It doesn’t matter what they’re up to. Besides, didn’t you say you have
given up on him?”
Linda gripped her phone tightly in her hand. “I despise them. I want to claw their eyes out! But at the

Linda wailed in pain and despair.
“Linda.” Rose was cold as she frowned at her.
Linda’s eyelids fluttered as she carefully looked up at her mother.
Her tears started to fall uncontrollably.
Rose sighed, left speechless at the moment.
She hadn’t been able to relax at all. Previously, Norman had lost two billion.
And now, on top of that, her daughter was about to have a psychotic episode. Life was too hard.
Linda took a deep breath and regained her composure.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t. Linda threw her phone onto the bed.
She had restrained herself from throwing it onto the floor.
Rose took this all in before finally deciding to say something.
