Linda couldn’t believe her ears.
All hope she held was gone. She lost all trust in Gareth.
It was set in stone.
Her worst fears were confirmed.
She’s now considered a joke.
“Auntie, why?” She cried, “Why do you want to do this? Do you believe those traitors? I certainly don’t!”
At this point, Linda wouldn’t dare to rant and rave. She could only twist the truth in her favor. She did not know
what she was denying, but she did not care.
Darren sighed and then said seriously, “This is the way things are. After all, we proposed the termination. If you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthave are dissatisfied, you can speak up, and we will compensate you.”
“Compensation?” Norman seemed annoyed, “Although the Benetts aren’t as famous in the circle as the Wickam
family, we are still well-known. How will you make up for abandoning my daughter?”
Rose couldn’t help but question, “I just want to understand why you proposed to dissolve the engagement?”
Linda kept her focus on Gareth. Her tears were streaming out of her eyes uncontrollably.
She winced from the inevitable question.
Gareth remained his uncaring glare.
“You are all aware of the recording. I had an evaluation performed, and it was not faked.” Gareth finally spoke.
Linda was shocked by what he said.
Immediately, her face became pale.
“So someone really played us! Gareth, don’t trust it! We’ve been sabotaged!”
Gareth sneered, “Sabotaged?” Who is the villain exactly?”
Linda did not know how to reply to him.
She widened her eyes and looked at Gareth in disbelief, “Garry, you, how could you accuse me like that?”
Rose’s face darkened, “What do you mean by that, Gareth? She tried to save your life back then, even though she
nearly died. How could you? Is this how you repay your savior?!”
Instead of being angry, Gareth grinned. “If I don’t continue to investigate this matter and take your word for it,
would you swear by that statement?”
Rose paused.
Linda went quiet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey panicked.
How has it come to this?
He couldn’t possibly know. “What do you mean by that? My daughter saved your life.”
Linda became anxious.
No, they couldn’t deal with this issue any longer!
Otherwise, she greatly feared that Gareth would learn the truth. They wouldn’t be able to obtain anything
worthwhile if he pursued it.
She, most importantly, didn’t want Gareth to be aware of those things.
As tears streamed down her cheeks, she swiftly seized Rose’s hand. “Don’t, Mom. It was my own vocation to save
Garry. I’m to blame. I’m not up to par.”
Monica scowled. Would she be open to hearing what Linda’s family had to say about her son despite her previous
optimism toward them?
She spoke sourly, “You should be aware of what occurred to the tape. Do you want us to disclose the recording? Mr.
Benett, there are certain things we didn’t tear apart just to make a place for your family.”
