No! Impossible! How can her parents sell their property out of the blue? Her dad is the chairman of Benett Corporation. How could they have fallen to such a stage with his position? She immediately said, “Liz, you're talking nonsense again!” Although Linda's voice was critical at that moment, her heart was suspended. She held her breath and listened with rapt attention. She didn’t want to miss what Elisa said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElisa chuckled. “If you say so, Linda. | don’t know if it's true. After all, | haven't personally verified it. | just heard rumors from others.” Linda was stunned.
If Elisa was sure of it, Linda would be suspicious. But Elisa's ambiguity made Linda doubtful. The worry in Linda's heart increased.
How can this be? She wasn't in the mood to speak to Elisa any longer. Elisa said compassionately, “I see you still don’t know about it, Linda. Let's not talk on the phone any longer. You should ask Uncle Norman what he’s been up to recently. | heard that nineteen levels of Wickam Group's classified information were breached not too long ago.” Linda was about to end the call, but when she heard what Elisa said, she gripped her cell phone tightly and said worriedly, “What do you mean by that?” “Nothing.” Linda asked again, “The breach of Wickam Group's confidential information should be a private affair. Why would they tell you about it?” “I'm a part of the Wickam family. Don't you know that Grandma loves me a lot?” She spoke with a smile in the corner of her mouth.
In an instant, Linda felt the pit of her stomach clench. She didn’t want to speak to Elisa any longer and wanted to hang up, but she didn’t understand. She asked again, “Why did you tell me that nineteen levels of Wickam Group's classified information were breached?” “Someone breached nineteen levels of their defense but couldn't get through their final level. Since | brought it up, it obviously has something to do with your family selling your house. For the big picture of Benett Corporation, | advise you to talk to Uncle Norman. It'll be bad if someone takes revenge over this.” “Tell me clearly!” Linda was now starting to panic. She didn’t want to believe Elisa, but Elisa was describing everything so vividly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLinda couldn't ignore her.
Linda took a deep breath. She knew that no matter what she asked, Elisa wouldn't answer. Before Linda could say anything, Elisa said, “I have another call coming in. I'm going to hang up.” After that, Elisa ended the call.
Linda's heartbeat quickened, and her face was unbelievably pale. It was no wonder that they were staying in such a place for this period of time.
Her parents had covered it up by saying that she couldn't meet outsiders in her condition, but when she thought about it, why couldn't she? She had no problem meeting anyone since she had been cleared of suspicion. She was now working as usual in her office. No one dared to do anything to her, and everyone was respectful toward her.
Furthermore, she wouldn't see much of anyone in the villa! And her parents had been looking haggard lately. Her father wasn't in his usual high-sprits. What on earth had happened? How were twenty levels of Wickam Group's confidential information related to her father selling off their house? Linda was in a frenzy at that moment! She suddenly rose to her feet. She wanted to go to her father’s office to look for him, but she felt it wasn’t appropriate. She gritted her teeth and could only suppress the apprehension in her heart. She planned to talk to him at home.
As for Elisa, she was playing with her cell phone at that moment. She didn’t have any other incoming calls.
