A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 477 Dinner In The Nalan Clan's house

Lisa was soaked in sweat all over her body. She was feeling fairly uncomfortable since her clothes

were all wet, plastered on her skin, so she nodded and went to the bathroom.

There was only one month to go before all of this would end. If she could hold on for a few more

weeks, she would finally abolish her drug addiction. Then, she would be able to do what she had

always wanted to do, to live abroad with Robert happily. They could settle down in a small town where

nobody knew them, so she would never have to fear that someone would expose her lies. She could,

then, also bear Robert's child.

Children stemmed from love, and Lisa would like to have several of them with Robert.

Dragging her tired body to the bathroom, Lisa slowly turned on the tap. Looking at herself in the mirror,

she noticed that her face was weary beyond description. All of a sudden, there was a terrified

expression on her face. She was shocked when she saw freckles on her forehead standing out in

contrast against her pale skin.

Even though it was not too evident, Lisa was sure that it was a consequence of drug abuse. She didn't

have any freckles before she took drugs. It seemed that the drug really affected the body in a negative

way...

In the military area of ZJ Province

Hanson and his minions had been locked up for a whole day before they were released.

The way they had been treated was really tormenting. They were forced to stand up facing an intensely

bright light from a lamp for 24 hours, so they hadn't gotten any sleep. It was pure torture.

All of their bloodshot red eyes resulted from the lack of sleep, making them all look very terrible.

However, this punishment was a lenient one, especially since the order came from Charles.

Hanson's face was as black as coal. His minions behind him followed in silent, too afraid to say a word.

He had never imagined he would ever suffer this kind of torture. He felt a deep sense of shame.

How could he let that go without getting back at the culprit? Hanson not only had wasted 200 million in

bidding for a necklace for some stupid woman, but he had also been held captive in a military area for

one whole day and had been forced to put up with an inhumane treatment. He hadn't been through

anything like this for the past ten years.

"Just go, " said Hanson, waving at his minions. He wanted to go home now after that tiring day, but he

had already made up his mind to get revenge in the future. Before he would take any action, he needed

to be prepared.

Even though he had sworn to take revenge against Charles and Sophia, Hanson was not a reckless

person. He had to wait for the right time, and he knew that it would come someday.

'That bastard, Charles... And that bitch, Sophia... You would all go to hell one day!' Hanson swore to

himself. In the Mu clan's villa, Linda was sitting on the bench in the garden with Anna and Bun,

chatting.

Linda was wondering whether she should bring some gifts with her when she visited Lord Nalan today.

Since the Nalan clan was Linda and her biological mother's family and it was the first time she had

come to visit her grandfather after she got married, she was nervous about it. Even though they usually

did not bring gifts during dinner gatherings, Linda would love to bring her grandfather a present. She

had already spent so much time in choosing what to give, but she couldn't decide which one would suit

her grandfather.

"Anna, Bun, please help me pick a gift for my grandfather. I can't decide what I should bring to him

today!

This would be the first time that I would pay him a visit after I had gotten married. I don't think

grandfather would mind if I don't bring anything, but I'm sure that the other people living there would, "

said Linda worriedly.

"My Lady, I think the best gift for His Lordship would be the babies you are carrying. I don't think you

should bother bringing him anything else, " said Anna with a smile.

Linda thought for a while about what Anna had said, and she started to think that Anna was right. Lord

Nalan had everything he wanted, and Linda was sure that Lord Nalan would be very happy to find out

that he would have two great-grandchildren soon. Linda knew well that Lord Nalan loved her very

much, and she was sure that he would love her children as well.

Right before Linda headed out, her phone rang. She took out her phone and looked at the screen. It

was Charles. Since Linda had called him a while ago and Paul answered the phone for him, she

assumed that he was calling her back to see what she wanted now.

"Babe, Paul said that you called me several minutes ago. I was in a meeting. Why? Are you okay? Did

you miss me?"

"Nothing important. Anna just told me that grandfather had called to invite me to have dinner in the

Nalan clan's house. I wanted to ask you whether you would like to come with me or not. If you are busy,

you don't have to come. It's fine. I can ask Anna and Bun to accompany me instead, " said Linda in a

soft voice.

"Babe, I'm so sorry. I'm very busy these days. I won't be able to have dinner with you tonight, but I can

pick you up after you're done and then we can go home together, " Charles said guiltily. Charles was

feeling bad about not spending enough time with Linda, but there were several, big projects that had to

be finalized with his approval. He had to make sure that they would be launched on time. Another

reason was that he had gone to that auction in ZJ Province the other day, causing him to waste a day

he could've spent working, so he had to catch up with his work schedule.

"Grandfather had asked me to stay in the Nalan clan's house tonight, so I won't be back until at least

tomorrow."

"Okay, I will pick you up tomorrow then. But you must take good care of yourself. The security there is

not as good as it is in the Mu clan's house. You have to bring Bun with you. She can keep you safe, "

Charles said with concern.

"Okay, I will. I'm leaving now. Don't worry about me. You should focus on your work, " Linda said.

She was about to hang up the phone after she had finished speaking. But before she could do so,

Charles said something that stopped her, "Honey, give me a kiss first."

Linda blushed after she had heard Charles's request, especially since Anna and Bun were standing

right next to her.

"Stop it. I'm not alone, " Linda said in a annoyed voice.

"No, I won't let you hang up unless you give me a kiss through the phone, or I would assume that you

don't love me anymore, " Charles teased.

Linda never thought that Charles was capable of throwing such a childish tantrum. She didn't know

whether to laugh at him or to scold him. Glancing at Anna and Bun, she turned around and made a

kissing sound on the phone.

Charles was satisfied with what she did. He smiled, responded with a loud kiss, and said, "My dear,

see you tomorrow."

Charles was alone in his office when he was speaking with Linda. If the employees in the Mu Group

saw the way he spoke with his wife, they would be in shock. Since Charles was very serious in the

office, they never thought that he had a humorous side.

Noticing that Linda had hung up the phone, Anna could not help but tease her, "My Lady, you and

Young Master really love each other very much."

"Of course. Young Master always spoils our Lady Linda, " Bun nodded her head and said with a smile.

Glaring at them, Linda said, "Stop teasing me. Hurry up. We really need to set out now. It is already five

o'clock. There are other people waiting for us besides Lord Nalan. If we are late for dinner, they

probably would rant and complain against us."

"Yes, My Lady, " said Bun.

Now that Bun was back, Linda didn't need to take any other bodyguards with her. Bun was strong

enough to protect both Linda and Anna. Besides, Linda was wearing the dragon ring which could be

used when something would come up, so they weren't worried about their safety.

Bun went to the underground garage to pick out their car for today. She had picked the Volkswagen

Phaeton since they wanted to lay low. Also, the car had a rather comfortable backseat, which was a

good thing for Linda.

The moment Linda got into the car, she began to feel sleepy. She felt helpless about it since it was a

typical symptom of pregnancy.

"Bun, I want to get some rest for a bit. Wake me up when we arrive, " said Linda.

Bun nodded and then she started focusing on the road. Since Linda was sleeping in the back seat, Bun

drove very carefully and cautiously.

Thanks to Bun's driving skills, Linda slept soundly on the backseat of the car.

Bun had been travelling for three months, and when she got back, she was surprised to see how big This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Linda's belly had grown. After she found out that Linda was bearing twins, she could not help but be

overreacted and even paranoid every time she went out with Linda. She thought that she couldn't be

too careful.

On their way to the Nalan clan's house, Bun drove attentively, so Linda could be able to rest and sleep

well.

When Linda woke up, she felt that she had slept for a long time, but they still hadn't arrived, yet. She

rubbed her eyes and glanced at the small screen on the dashboard of the car. It was almost 7:00 PM.

"Is something wrong? Are we still on the way? Why haven't we arrived, yet?"
