?Chapter 2918:


    She only addressed Ernest.


    In her heart, she felt Ernest was the one who could truly understand her feelings in this matter.


    “Linda…”


    Hadley drew a few steadying breaths before speaking again.


    “She’ll soon be sent back for investigation! For what she’s done to Elissa… it won’t be long before she faces trial!”


    Ernest’s eyes lit with realization.


    “Was it Ellis on the phone?”


    “That’s right!”


    “Then it can’t be wrong…”


    Ernest shut his eyes, his face drawn tight with emotion.


    “Good. Very good!”


    Gifford was already in custody, and Linda would be deported home.


    Not a single person who hurt Elissa would escape.


    Linda was at it again!


    It was the same kind of madness as before!


    Hadley arched her brows, left speechless by the sight of her.


    “I… I wasn’t…”


    Linda’s eyes turned red, tears beginning to gather along hershes.


    She shook her head and said, “I wasn’t always like this. Back then, the two of them treated me with nothing but kindness… for more than ten years, they cherished me, cing me high above all else!”


    Her voice grew heavy all of a sudden as her hands tightened into fists.


    “But after that, they turned cold and heartless, tossing me aside like I was nothing. How could you expect me to just ept that?”


    “Hmph.”


    ???????????????? ??????????????: ?????????ν??????﹒?????


    Hadley gave a soundlessugh, scoffing at the same tired reasoning Linda always clung to.


    A mocking smile spread across her face as she retorted, “You know very well you’re just greedy and never satisfied!”


    “You! This is all on you! And Elissa! Why do either of you need to be here?”


    Linda jerked her head up and fixed her re on Hadley, her widened eyes catching every sharp detail of Hadley’s striking features.


    “How can you still be so attractive…”


    Next to Linda, who looked frail and worn from illness, Hadley shone with a beauty as dazzling as the day she first walked out of Srixby, still youthful and full of promise. How could Linda possibly not feel resentment?


    “Most of all, it’s you!”


    Linda stared straight at her, hatred twisting her lips as she bared her teeth at Hadley.


    “Do you have any idea? Out of everyone, you’re the most hateful one! Nobody else gets under my skin like you do!”


    Dropping her voice even lower, she asked, “Tell me, why does it have to be you?”


    She shook her head, a look of genuine confusion on her face.


    “You really didn’t do anything, but somehow N ended up taking you in. Now you’re living a life offort and riches. But what about me? I risked my life to save Ernest and Eric. That’s the price I paid! And still… I never received the same treatment as you!”
