Female Novel
Chapter 678 Linda Started to Change
Thinking that her daughter had grown up and would marry a man, Shirley felt a sharp pang in her heart.
Mya’s face when she was little flashed through Shirley’s mind. They were so clear and close.
She still couldn’t believe her baby girl had grown up and would love a man.
She had to admit time flew too fast.
Clarence heaved a sigh and continued, “We’re her parents, so we shall not stop her. Instead, we need
to help her filter the boys. Finnley is decent. After all, he works for Ivan.”
Shirley wondered if he was calm because it was Finnley.
If it were another man, Clarence would skin him alive.
“He’s decent, but it doesn’t mean he’ll be a good husband or a perfect match for Mya.” Shirley has a
different point of view. “Think it’s like doing business? Anyway, we cannot allow them to be together so
easily. Mya shouldn’t have hidden it from us.”
“They haven’t been to register in the City Council secretly, have they? They are still dating.”
Shirley looked at his wrinkled face in confusion. “You...” Her gaze became harsher and harsher.
“What’s wrong? What did I say wrong?” Clarence asked patiently.
“Honey, to be honest, have you known this long ago?” The more Shirley wondered, the fishier it
seemed to her. “You’re close to Ivan, so you know his special assistant well. Did you know they were
together long ago?”
“No way! You wronged me.” Clarence stood upright. “Absolutely not.”
They locked eyes. Clarence didn’t feel guilty, so he calmly looked into Shirley’s eyes.
Shirley stopped suspecting him and continued to wait, wishing to see if Mya would leave the man’s
apartment this evening.
The dust in Arkpool City was gorgeous today. The sunset glory was like burning flames.
After leaving the Marsh Group, Linda didn’t go home directly. With Catherine’s bank card in her
handbag, she went to Arkpool City’s biggest shopping mall.
Instead of taking a bus, she hailed a taxi.
After getting off the bus, she watched the sparkling lights inside the mall, feeling dizzy.
Linda sucked in her breath, stood upright, and strode into the shopping mall.
It was her first time coming here. In the past, she often bypassed the mall and watched things in the
showcase window in envy.
Patrons in this mall were mainly fashionable from affluent families.
Couples in polished outfits bypassed her. Pretty girls held wealthy men’s arms, looking shy and sweet.
Watching them, Linda was envious, wishing she could have such beautiful love.novelbin
Then she decided to look for some clothes.
She went to a woman’s clothing store. A tall saleswoman walked up to her warmly. “Good evening,
Ma’am. What can I do for you?”
When she saw Linda’s outfits, she looked embarrassed, wondering if such a poor girl in shabby clothes
could afford their branded outfits.
“Ma’am, are you window shopping here?” the saleswoman asked kindly. Then she whispered to Linda,
“We’re a luxury shop. Each piece costs over one thousand dollars.”
Suddenly, a mid-aged man entered with a young woman. Another saleswoman walked up to them
attentively.
Anger surged in Linda’s heart. “I know you are a luxury shop, but so what? Think I cannot afford things
here? You are too snobbish!”
The saleswoman smiled at her awkwardly in response. She reminded Linda to show her kindness so
Linda wouldn't be embarrassed.
“Don’t worry. I have money. Just do your job.” Linda looked around and browsed the styles she liked.
The saleswoman followed her gingerly. Seeing the leather shoes on her feet and their broken heels,
she was still uncertain if Linda could afford anything in the store.
Another two saleswomen served the mid-aged man and the young woman enthusiastically.
“Miss, you are so beautiful. Do you want to find shoes or dresses? We have new arrivals in our store.
You have a perfect figure. Everything fits you well.”
“Darling, choose whatever you like,” the mid-aged man said generously.
The young woman holding his arm was overjoyed. “OK. I will buy a lot today.”
Her words caused pain in Linda’s ear. Linda looked back and noticed the mid-aged man was at least
thirty years older than the young woman.
“Life only bullies the poor, and so does love.” Catherine’s words reechoed in her ears again.
