Chapter 1796 Take You as My Wife?
"Just pick any shirt," Will motioned toward the wardrobe in front of Linda.
Without hesitation, Linda stepped into his wardrobe and picked out a black shirt for him.
As she emerged from the wardrobe, she couldn't help but notice that Will's gaze had been fixed on her
the entire time.
"Uh…Why are you staring at me like that?" Linda nervously held onto the shirt, feeling uneasy under
Will's fiery gaze.
Will quickly shifted his gaze and calmly explained, "Your silhouette reminds me of her."
Linda was puzzled, "Who? Liz?"
"Mhmm."
Will didn't deny it because those words were a calculated and intentional move.
Considering how Linda willingly stayed and consistently offered her assistance with various tasks,
didn't that hint at her romantic interest in him?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince she's so keen to stick around… why not flirt and playfully tease her a bit? It won't hurt anyone,
right?
With her head slightly lowered, Linda put on a coy expression. "Maybe it's because we're around the
same age and get along well, and also... Mr. Darcey, your strong feelings for Liz."
Will's profound affection for Elisa left Linda feeling envious and speechless. How could Liz, a divorced
woman, capture Will's attention and deserve his love for her?
However, the following moment, Will's tone turned cold as he remarked, "Ms. Garner, are you planning
to play dress-up with me since you're holding onto my clothes?"
His eyes held a touch of frostiness.
"Oh?" Linda's openness and directness in approaching intimacy startled him.
No wonder Elisa had warned him to be cautious around Linda. Elisa was right about Linda's cunning
and flirtatious nature. He couldn't help but scoff, "Don't you think such words belittle your self-worth?"
Linda swiftly redirected the conversation, her voice slightly choked up, "You're right. I have no self-
worth... Even though I'm the youngest daughter in the Garner family, I hold no significant position within
the Garner Group. But if Mr. Darcey is willing to extend a helping hand, things can change, and I would
be immensely grateful!"
With her head bowed, Linda adopted a pleading expression, portraying herself as a victim of
mistreatment by the Garner family.
It was undeniably audacious for her to harbor such bold ambitions, using her 'adopted' identity as the
youngest daughter of the Garner family as a means to quickly rise in status overnight.
Will discerned her agenda and sarcastically questioned Linda, "Your status or relationship within the
Garner family is none of my business. I allowed your participation in the western suburbs project solely
due to Liz's influence. And for the same reason, you were included in our meal discussions at my
house. While I appreciate your eagerness to assist me, what's next? Are you planning to offer yourself
to me and ask me to take you as my wife?"
Will didn't hold back. He confronted and criticized Linda, believing that if she genuinely embodied the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGarner name, she wouldn't stoop so low and compromise her self-respect.
Will had underestimated Linda's shamelessness. Fueled by deep-rooted hatred and resentment
towards Elisa, she was driven solely by selfish desires.
Linda had no inhibitions in her cowardly pursuit as long as it helped her achieve her goals!
So, why would Linda concern herself with shame or worry about being judged?
Linda lowered her head and said, "If Mr. Darcey is willing to lend a hand, I would be grateful..."
"Well, too bad. I don't have an imperial throne waiting for you to inherit. I don't need you to sacrifice
yourself or prove your loyalty in service of me. If you find yourself with spare time, why not channel
your efforts towards self-improvement and increasing your value?"
Before Linda could finish speaking, Will rudely interrupted her, his words cutting and harsh.
Despite the intense humiliation she experienced, Linda refrained from retaliating and maintained her
silence.
She resorted to forcefully pinching her hand, discreetly coaxing her tear glands to swell and tear up.
