Chapter 496
From that day on, Linda started bringing fishballs for Chloe every morning. For Chloe, it wasn't really about whether they tasted good or not. In fact, she wasn't even particularly fond of fish. She just wanted Linda to feel comfortable accepting her help without any guilt. But, ironically, it turned into a huge burden for Chloe.
Chloe finally asked, "So, you think because I paid your tuition, you felt obligated to make fishballs for me? Was that such a huge humiliation that you started hating me?"Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Chloe remembered that Linda brought her fishballs for about a month. After helping Linda move into the dorms, Chloe never had those fishballs again.
Linda shook her head, "No, I was genuinely happy, Chloe. Getting up at four in the morning to make fishballs for you was the happiest time of my high school years. I felt like I had something to offer you, not just a parasite living off your kindness."
Chloe frowned, "If that's true, then why did you turn against me later? Was it because of Lucas?"
If Linda hadn't harbored resentment since high school, it could only be Lucas. She'd betrayed Chloe to be with him, destroying their friendship in the process.
Linda shook her head, "You wouldn't understand, and maybe you never will, but I hope one day you do."
Chloe's patience was wearing thin. "I don't have time for your riddles, but there's one thing I want to ask."
Linda looked at her, "What is it?"
"How did Shawn die? Were you involved?"
At the mention of Shawn, Linda's expression changed. But she quickly hid any emotion, maintaining a smile. "Do you want to know? Come with me to the hospital for a
checkup tomorrow, and I'll tell you."

Chloe felt Linda was playing games again. This wasn't the first time she used her pregnancy to manipulate her. Chloe retorted coldly, "If you won't tell me, fine. I'll figure it out myself."
With that, Chloe didn't want to exchange another word and turned to leave. Feeling a bit irritated, she reached the door of the private room, ready to enter, when her arm was suddenly grabbed.
Someone pulled her into a nearby private room. Chloe knew who it was and didn't resist. Inside, she shook off the person's hand.
"Wow, you two must really love me, taking turns to talk to me like this?"
The person who pulled her was Lucas. His eyes turned serious at her words, "Linda came to see you?"
Chloe crossed her arms, "Lucas, cut the act. Aren't you two in this together? Enough is enough. I may not know what you're up to, but my patience has limits. Push me too far, and can make sure neither of you has a place in Riverbrook. Believe it of not?"
Lucas knew she meant it. Chloe was now the lady of Sartori Corporation. One move from her could make life difficult for him and Linda. He
