Chapter 1565:
“Ernest!” Eric's voice thundered through the room as he jabbed his finger accusingly at Linda. “Today, she’s
coming withwhether she likes it or not! Don’t direct your anger at me—she brought this on herself! She
deliberately destroyed...”
“Everything by revealing this to Hadley! Since she’s proudly admitted her sabotage, why shouldn't she face
Hadley and beg for forgiveness?” As the last word left his lips, he lunged forward again, hands outstretched to
seize her.
“No, | refuse!” Panic edged her voice. Before Eric could reach her, Linda scrambled behind Ernest, clutching his
arm with desperate strength, her head whipping back and forth in frantic denial. “I won't be taken anywhere
against my will! Apologize? For what exactly? | harbor no regrets! If given a hundred chances to relive this
moment, | would make the identical choice every single time!”
“Ernest, are you hearing this?” Disbelief colored Eric's tone as his eyes smoldered with righteous indignation.
“Look at what she’s become! This vindictive creature bears no resemblance to the compassionate, selfless girl
who once risked everything to save our lives—that Linda has vanished completely.”
Ernest stood frozen, eyes wide as he turned slowly toward Linda. “You... Why would you do this?”
Before she could find the words, Eric cut in, his patience snapping. “Enough, Ernest!” he shouted, grabbing Linda
by the arm and motioning for his brother to step aside.
“Let go of her!” Eric insisted. “I'm taking her with me.”
“No!” Linda shouted, clutching Ernest's sleeve like her life depended on it. Her voice cracked as she struggled

dead!”
“Then tellthis...” Ernest's brows knitted tightly, his voice low but sharp. “Why did you go out of your way to
provoke Hadley in the first place?”
His gaze settled on her, filled with a mix of sorrow and frustration. “I already cleaned up the mess you made. But
you can’t keep doing whatever you want and expect someone to shield you every time.”
Linda froze, visibly shaken by the shift in both men’s stances.

Lifting her chin, she masked her panic with defiance, glaring straight at Eric. “So what if you dragto her?”
she said through clenched teeth. “I still have a voice. And I'll say whatever | damn well please.”
Eric blinked, momentarily thrown. What was she getting at?
“Hah!” Linda scoffed, her voice dripping with contempt. “You really think I'll back down and beg for mercy? Keep
dreaming.”
Then, with a cruel twist of her lips, she added, “Hadley’s furious, right? Good. I'll make her explode. I'll tell her
how sweet you've been to me, how you can’t even bring yourself to raise your voice. That'll really set her off—
again.” A cold laugh spilled out of her. “Ha... ha...”
Her eyes locked on Eric, unflinching.
