Chapter 691:
When the room cleared, Linden pulled out his phone, snapped a photo of Cedric’s report, and sent it to “Natalie.”
“So, are you happy now? Daniela’s far too vigilant. After this, there's sure to be smajor shifts around here. |
won't be able to stick around for long. If your offer isn’t tempting enough, | can’t take this on for you.”
Elyse knew what Linden wanted. It wasn’t just about sending a few pictures. Her anger boiled, her teeth
grinding, but she understood the opportunity to eliminate Cedric was a rare one that couldn't slip by.
After a heavy silence, she called Natalie over and showed her the message.
Natalie nearly spat in disgust.
“What? Linden actually thinks he can sleep with me? When | was the most beautiful girl in school, adored by all
the guys, he was hiding in the corner, too scared to even look my way! What's he thinking? He actually believes
he can sleep with me? He's way out of his league! Someone needs to show him a mirror!”

Natalie couldn't hide her contempt.
Elyse snatched her phone back.
“I don’t like him either, but right now, Linden is the only one who can get close to Cedric. He said the medical
team is about to be reshuffled, and soon, we won't get such a good chance again.”
Hearing this, Natalie frowned, her voice sharp.
“So what are you saying, Mom? You wantto sleep with this disgusting man?”
Elyse, of course, was reluctant. She had raised her daughter, stunningly beautiful and deserving of nothing but
the best.

“So, what do you think we should do?”
Natalie's anger boiled, her mind a whirlwind. Just the thought of Linden—a repulsive rat no one wanted around—
daring to think he could sleep with her made her sick to her stomach. Just then, she saw Nina nearby.
In sways, they were strikingly alike.
Natalie's gaze turned cold and distant.
“Mom, | have an idea.”
Elyse didn’t catch on right away, but when she did, she asked,
“Do you think it will work? Linden’s wanted you for years. He'll recognize you instantly.”
Natalie spoke in a detached tone.

“There are plenty of themed hotels these days with dim lighting. We can have Nina wear a silk scarf over her
face. Since she and | share a similar look, Linden won't be able to tell us apart. Isn't the medical team about to
be reorganized soon? Linden won't have tto figure it out.”
Elyse nodded, her expression thoughtful.
“Alright, then.” With that, Elyse went off to find Nina.
Nina was taken aback.
“Mom, what did you say?”
Natalie stood off to the side, her expression cold and uninterested, her voice calm and factual.
“Didn't you claim before that you'd do anything to have Cedric? Now's the moment to prove it. Cedric is in
critical condition, and the only one who can help him is Linden. But Linden made it clear—he won't treat Cedric
unless you're willing to sleep with him first.”
Nina’s mind was a whirlwind, her voice quivering with uncertainty.
