NovelEnglishLinda was smart. Sometimes, she could tell something wasn't right with one glance.
Rose was most afraid of how intelligent her daughter was. She could only keep her expression neutral and say calmly, “We're just cleaning. | don't like the layout, so | want to mix things up. The house has to be aired after renovation, which will take a few months at the very least. Let's just stay here for now.” Linda immediately furrowed her brows tightly. “The house is completely new, and you used to like the design. Why are you changing things?” She stared at Rose and still felt that something wasn’t right.

But she couldn't put her finger on it. It was mainly because she couldn't think of why they had to stay here.
She paused before she said, “But even if we have to stay elsewhere, we can go to a better place! How are we going to stay in such a small place?” Rose took a breath in. She wanted to, but they didn’t have the money! That wench Elisa had tricked them out of everything.
But Rose didn’t dare say such things to her daughter.
Linda opened her mouth and clearly wanted to say something else, but she was interrupted by her cell phone ringing.
Upon seeing that it was the anonymous call from before, she was suddenly excited. “That person is calling me. She must have made her move against Elisa!” Rose breathed a sigh of relief. She was thankful that the call distracted Linda.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hello.” The other party’s voice rang in her ear when Linda answered the call.
“Gareth and Elisa are going for an inspection tomorrow. They're at Phoenix Bridge, which is a bad area.” Linda wrinkled her brows. She thought that she would get good news, but that was all. She asked, “Do you mean that you're only going to make a move tomorrow?” “Mm.” Linda was slightly displeased, but the other party’s word was law. What could she do? She felt that the person wanted to end the call, so she immediately said, “Can you givea way to contact you? You're always the one who's looking for me, and | can't get ahold of you.” “You don't have to look for me. | will contact you directly if there's anything.” The other party had a perky and girly voice, but it was eerily cold.
Linda wasn't satisfied. “Although that's the case, | also have sideas. You know how much | hate Elisa. | might have sgood ideas, but if | can’t contact you or act on them, | might miss out on a good opportunity.” The other party paused for a moment before saying indifferently, “I will send you a way of contacting me.” Linda was relieved. “Alright. How do you plan on dealing with Elisa?” “You'll find out tomorrow.” After that, the other party ended the call, and Linda's expression immediately turned nasty. “Why is she being so secretive? She's still hiding her identity fromand doesn’t want to tellthe truth!” “You previously felt that she’s competent and helpful.” Rose mocked her without hesitation.
Linda bit her lips and retorted in an annoyed manner. “Was | wrong back then? Isn't she capable? Otherwise, could | have left the hospital so quickly? | just don't like her air of superiority!” MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
