?Chapter 1263:

    They drove directly to Silver Vis.

    “Who’s there?”

    As the doorbell echoed, the caretaker moved to answer the door. Linda, still awake, overheard the caretaker say, “Miss Harris, Mr. Scott is here…”

    Eric?

    A wave of excitement passed through Linda as she maneuvered her wheelchair from the room.

    “Eric, why have youe sote? I…” Her words trailed off, and her weing smile froze.

    The reason was clear—Eric wasn’t by himself; Hadley apanied him.

    “Hadley, you’vee as well?” With a strained smile and a hint of acidity, Linda said, “Thiste? Did your evening out just end, and you thought you’d stop by?”

    Hadley, paying no heed to Linda, directed her gaze towards Eric.

    She was anticipating his move.

    Her eyes were on him, eager to observe how he would manage the situation.

    If he dealt with this adeptly, she considered, perhaps… she could then reveal the wrongs she suffered five years back and her own struggles in the.

    She was silently praying he wouldn’t let her down!

    Eric nced at Hadley, gave her a subtle nod, and then shifted his gaze to Linda. “Linda, do you know a security guard from Gnt by the name of Remy Deleon?”

    “Remy… Deleon??” Linda echoed, brows knitting together as confusion flickered across her face. “No. I don’t know anyone by that name.”

    “However…” Eric’s face remained unreadable, though a heavy note crept into his voice. “He insists he knows you. Said the two of you crossed paths not too long ago.”

    “That’s impossible.” Linda’s frown deepened as she shook her head more firmly. “I have no idea who he is…”

    Eric interrupted, “Maybe you’ve seen him before but just can’t ce the name. Ever think of that?”

    Wasn’t that exactly what had happened with Hadley?

    Stories live now on galnσ??????????o??

    “Cordell!”

    “Here, Mr. Scott!”

    Without missing a beat, Eric pointed behind him. “Bring him in.”

    “Right away, sir!”

    There was a rustling of movement as Cordell directed the bodyguards, and momentster, Remy was escorted in and shoved in front of Linda. Eric pointed at him. “This is the guy. Look again. Does he seem familiar now?”

    “Him?”

    Linda studied Remy’s face, her gaze lingering on his features. After a long moment, she shook her head. “I have never seen him before.” She looked up at Eric and asked, “What’s going on? Am I supposed to know him? Have I met him before?”

    “Humph!” Hadley let out a cold, mirthless chuckle. “What a brilliant performance!”

    Eric’s gaze dropped to her, his thick eyebrows drawn into a frown.

    “What’s that supposed to mean?”

    Linda suddenly whirled toward Hadley, her voice rising as she clenched her teeth in frustration. “Hadley, if you have something to say, then spit it out! Stop dancing around it with your sarcasm!”

    “Alright!”
