Chapter 816
"You..."
She squeezed a word through her teeth and choked back the rest of her sentence.
Her feeble voice went unheard as Rose coaxed them to try her cooking.
"I've made both of your favorite fish dishes today. Come and taste it!"
Linda took a deep breath and thought to herself. Forget it. I'll hold on first and talk to them after dinner.
Norman was excited, "Really? Let me taste it."
Linda didn't have the appetite, but she couldn't bear to let her parents go hungry, so she forced herself
to eat together.
Finally, after a round of excruciating subliminal tug-of-war, dinner was over.
Linda put down her chopsticks. She looked at her parents, who were cleaning themselves with a

She looked serious. Her voice was deep and heavy.
Both Norman and Rose looked at her, puzzled. The latter asked, "What's the matter? Why are you
looking so serious all of a sudden?"
Linda ignored Rose but stared at Norman, "What exactly happened recently? How much longer are
you going to keep this from me?"
Norman and Rose were taken aback. The former furrowed and said, "I've told you nothing happened.
Why are you asking again?"
Rose was somewhat nervous. Today was her daughter's first day at work. Could she have discovered
something or heard about it from someone?
But...
She couldn't have heard it from anyone else. Nobody knew about this matter. Norman was vain and
proud; he wouldn't tell anyone in the company. If one person came to know about it, soon the whole
company would know. Then, Norman's authority and reputation would hit the skids.
Linda snorted coldly. Due to pent-up emotions, her voice grew sharper and louder, "Why are you still
trying to lie to me?! We have sold all of our properties. Even our current house is leased. Do you really
think that I'm clueless about it?!"
Rose was stunned.
Norman instantly roared, "Nonsense! Who told you these things? They are all lies!!"
"You didn't sell off our properties?" Linda didn't believe Norman and stared at him coldly, waiting for him
to continue speaking. Norman shouted, "Of course!!"
Elisa sneered, "Okay then, let me see the title of this house and all the other properties. I want to check
the records of this house myself!"
She did not believe a word her parents said. Norman coaxed and soothed her, "You don't trust us?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy do you need to see the records? We are family. No? Plus. Even if I did sell off our properties, it
must be out of a profitable investment. Our company hasn't had any investment projects recently. How
could I have sold them?"
Linda almost believed what her parents said.
But she remembered the conversation with Elisa over the phone. It definitely wasn't baseless because
Elisa wouldn't lie.
Elisa knew that through her interrogation, her parents would give in and show her the records. It was
just a small argument and wouldn't cause any damage.
If that was the case, what Elisa said was meaningless. After all, they were a family, and such divisive
behavior was futile unless what Elisa said was true!
Now, Linda was almost certain that Elisa was right. Her parents didn't look right! Something wrong
must have happened! She hated this feeling! She hated it!
