A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 479 Presents for The Twins

Rosy Nalan was not upset about her grandfather saying that she wouldn't be able to find a husband as

good as Charles; rather, she despised the fact that he was treating her and Linda differently.

Rosy thought that her grandfather was too biased toward Linda. Obviously, Linda was wrong first by an

hour late for dinner. Punctuality was one of her grandfather's most upheld virtues. Rosy was just being

honest to point it out and to remind Linda of how important punctuality was to the Nalan clan. However,

her grandfather didn't side with her, but, instead, he criticized her. How did that make sense?

Tears flooded Rosy's eyes, as she felt so hurt. But Rosy didn't dare say anything more since both her

grandfather and her father had opened their mouths to stop her from going against Linda. Rosy, then,

had no choice but to shut her mouth.

Linda felt quite joyful to see Rosy's tearful eyes. It was Rosy who attempted to bring trouble to her in

the first place. Linda didn't understand why she had put on such an aggrieved look. Was it because

Lord Nalan didn't side with her? What did she do wrong to Rosy this time? Was she starving to death

because of Linda's tardiness?

"Okay, Rosy, just forget about it. Linda didn't do it on purpose. Stop dwelling on it, and let Linda off this

time. Otherwise, people might think that we are too mean and unreasonable if they ever know about

this, " Murphy Nalan also stood up and said.

Linda looked at Murphy, who was smiling kindly to her. On the surface, Murphy was helping her, but

Linda knew that she had bad intentions inside. Murphy was the most unpredictable person in the Nalan

clan.

Therefore, Linda had to be wary of Murphy. She wasn't scared of Rosy, but Murphy, who had always

hidden her true thoughts so deeply. She might be the one who would stab Linda someday in the back.

"Linda, your baby will be born in about two months, right?"

Lord Nalan asked as he looked at Linda's belly.

Linda put one hand on her belly and said, "Yes. And it's babies, grandfather. I'm expecting twins. They

will come out in two months."

Lord Nalan's face was already red due to the wine he had drunk. When he heard that Linda was having

twins, he got even redder out of delight. A dash of joy painted across his face. He touched his beard

and said with a smile, "Twins? That's great news! No wonder your belly is so big. If that's the case, Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

then... I have to prepare two presents for my great-grandchildren. Hmm... what should I give them? Let

me think about it."

Lord Nalan had only prepared one present for his great-grandchild. Much to his surprise, Linda had

twins in her belly, so he had to think about the presents again.

"Grandfather, please don't bother yourself too much with it. I know that your love to me and my babies

is enough. Anything would be fine, " Linda said with a smile.

She didn't care about the presents. She just wished that her babies would be born safely.

"No, I can't just randomly pick any present for them. They are my dear great-grandchildren. I have to

give them something precious enough, " Lord Nalan said. He paused and then continued to say, "How

about this? A land by the seaside wharf in the Eastern District was purchased by the Nalan clan three

years ago. We have been building a holiday resort there. I will give the holiday resort to one of my

great-grandchildren. And then... For the other baby... Oh, how about the Sky Building? The Sky

Building would soon be completed. It's located within the centre of the city, and it would become one of

Nalan clan's commercial estates. I will give it to the other baby. The holiday resort and the Sky building.

Those should be good enough for the twins."

Lord Nalan kept muttering out his words without giving a chance for the other people to speak. Except

Linda, all of the Nalan clan's members were stunned.

The holiday resort and the Sky Building were the most important projects of the Nalan clan's business.

But Lord Nalan just gave them both to Linda's babies. The other family members were upset and angry.

If Lord Nalan would really do as he had said, Linda would have taken a large part of the Nalan clan's

properties.

However, even though they were very furious, they couldn't dare argue with Lord Nalan, especially

after the fiasco last time. When Lord Nalan gave Linda two branch companies owned by the Nalan clan

as Linda's wedding presents, Rosy didn't agree with Lord Nalan's decision, so she got scolded

seriously by him.

All of the other family members were well aware of Lord Nalan's bias toward Linda.

So, this time, when they had heard his decision, they all kept silent.

Nobody dared to stand up and oppose against Lord Nalan, including Rosy. In fact, right now, she sat

still, let out a low hum, and didn't utter anything else. Rosy knew that if she said anything now, she

would be getting on Lord Nalan's bad side.

They all continued eating their dinner after the episode. The family dinner went on quietly as each of

the family members was immersed in his or her own thoughts. After dinner, they all went back to their

houses.

"Linda, come to my study after you finish, " Lord Nalan said before standing up to leave. Linda

immediately nodded her head. She assumed that her grandfather might have something to tell her in

private.

Linda quickly finished her dinner and shuffled to leave the dining room, too. Her grandfather was the

only person that Linda cared about in the Nalan clan. All of the other family members were against her,

so Linda didn't care about them at all.

Linda understood that they didn't want her to have a hand on the Nalan clan's properties and assets.

Even though Linda hadn't the slightest interest in those properties, she still would try her best to protect

her possessions since they were given to her by her grandfather.

On top of that, her mother, Sherry Nalan, had rights to the Nalan clan's properties, so she did, too.

Linda thought she was taking her share for her late mother's sake.

Not knowing why, Linda felt uncomfortable staying in the dining room as each second passed by, so

she picked up her pace walking toward the door.

The aroma in the air was kind of strange. Linda's face went pale as she inhaled the smell. At the

doorway, Anna was already waiting for Linda. She went over to Linda and noticed her pale face, so she

asked, "My Lady, are you okay? Are you feeling sick?"

Linda shook her head and said, "No, nothing serious. I just feel a little bit uncomfortable here. I don't

like how it smells around here..."

Having heard Linda's words, Anna walked inside the dining room and looked around. She found that

there were some flowers furnishing the room, exuding a delicate fragrance in the air. Anna felt that it

was a nice scent... Eventually, Anna rested her eyes on some purple-colored flowers.

After she walked close to them and saw what kind of flowers they were, Anna furrowed her brows. But

she didn't say anything and went back to Linda's side. She whispered in Linda's ears, "My Lady, let's

leave the room as soon as possible."

Looking at Anna's worried face, Linda instantly understood that there had to be some problems with

those flowers.

She immediately left the dining room together with Anna and Bun. As soon as they had gotten far away

from the dining room, Anna told Linda, "My Lady, I saw some lavenders in the room. You're pregnant,

so the scent of lavenders is bad for you. You would feel uncomfortable with it. Lavenders can help

stimulate the circulation of the blood in a human's body; however, if you have absorbed too much of its

scent during your pregnancy, it might cause a miscarriage."

"Really? That's so terrible!" Linda was surprised when she heard Anna's words. That was why she felt

uneasy while she was in the dining room.

"Yes, it's not so suitable for pregnant women. But, for the other people, lavender would be good for

their health, " Anna added.

Linda sensed that someone had to have done it on purpose. It didn't seem like a coincidence because

lavender wasn't a common flower people would place beside their dinner tables. Why were there some

lavenders in the dining room when she happened to be here for dinner?
