Chapter 695
“But you seem upset. Plus, you guys didn’t come here together. Did you guys have an argument? He didn’t bully you, did he? If he bullies you, you have to tell me. I’ll beat him to a pulp! I’ll never let other men bully my fiancée.” Thiago rolled up his sleeves as if he was going to put up a fight with Bernard.
Chuckling, Hera reminded him, “We’re in a civilized society. No fighting.”
“I’ll have a spar with him, then,’ he rephrased.
Hera arched her brows, thinking, “Isn’t that the same?”
She looked at Linda from afar, who was surrounded by guests, and patted his shoulder. “Alright, time to work.”
He noticed Linda as well. “Okay.’ Then, he turned around and left.
After reading the message from Stephen, Linda held a glass of champagne and strolled her way through the guests
Her eyes kept scanning the area until they landed on Hera, who was in a corner.
When she was about to go to Hera, Joyce called out to her and whispered, “Ms. Linda, all the guests are here. It’s almost time as well
Linda nodded contendedly. “Okay.”
“The security guard informed me that there are police officers dressed in casual clothes outside. They’ve surrounded the place,” Joyce reminded her worriedly.
Linda broke into a meaningful smile. ‘It’s nothing. They work for me. Get ready. The party is going to start.” “Alright.”
As Joyce walked away, Hera took a glass of champagne from a waiter and approached Linda. “Happy birthday, Ms. Linda.”
The confident smile on her beautiful face seemed to shine brighter because of her black dress. That was the dress she had worn to the funeral.
Knowing that very well, Linda gritted her teeth. But she couldn’t stop herself from smiling when she thought about how she could get rid of Hera soon. Even that dress seemed bearable to her eyes now.
Linda thought, “She must be wearing this dress for her own funeral’
“Ms. Youngworth, did you come here empty-handed? Are you planning to give your blessings only through words?” Linda pointed that out on purpose. The insinuation was so obvious.
Hera pretended not to know Linda’s plan. “Of course not. I prepared something just for you, but it’s not something I can show here. Would you mind following me to the second floor to check it out?”
“Let’s go,” Linda coolly answered and placed her champagne glass on a waiter’s tray.
The two went downstairs by taking the elevator, each hiding their own intentions.
As they were getting closer to the broadcast room, Linda asked purposely. “What is it that you had to put it in the broadcast room?”
“You’ll find out soon.’ Hera played along.
Since Linda had prepared everything for this, they were able to go to the broadcast room without
interference. No staff members were there to stop them, and the door wasn’t locked either.
Hera opened the door. The room was spacious, containing several smaller rooms. The broadcast and surveillance systems were here.
They were standing in the corridor, and no one else was inside the broadcast room except for the equipment. Linda followed Hera into the room and locked the door.
As soon as the door clicked shut, eight police officers showed up and surrounded Hera.
“Hera Youngworth, you’ve been reported for money laundering. You’ll have to come with us for an investigation.”
Linda seized her chance to go to the equipment, where she turned on the broadcasting and camera system. She broadcast the event live throughout the whole building.
