DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 94 A Pain in the Ass
From a distance, Linda saw a dim figure standing at the entrance and quarreling with the security guards.
It seemed he was shouting and swearing.
Derek Xie.
Though his features were vague, from the manner Linda could tell he must be Derek Xie.
Not long ago, at the order of Linda, he was tied up by Bun, and thrown out of the hospital.
Now again?
What a pain in the ass.
Linda's brain was racked with pain. Today it is her engagement ceremony. Why would Derek Xie come and try to ruin it?
Most importantly, the media are here today.
They may come up some exaggerated titles to distort the fact, which may undermine the reputation of both the Mu and the Xia clan.
And scandal was the public's favorite.
Linda was stuck within a dilemma, for she couldn't kick him out of the hotel in front of everybody.
It was true that Derek was her uncle, the brother of her mother, Donna. Though Linda was not Donna's biological daughter, she was raised by her since childhood.
Nobody cared about how Derek treated Linda. They would only say Linda was ungrateful.
Now that she managed to return to the Xia clan, and marry into a rich family, how could she turn her back on her uncle, or even, kick him out?
Linda guessed Derek may come for that 400 thousand.
At this time, Paul, along with Donna and Anna, reached the entrance of RO Hotel.
Donna felt a sense of helplessness, when she saw Derek was making a fuss there.
"Derek, it's Linda's engagement ceremony. Don't do this. We can talk later." Donny was about to pull Derek out of there, and prevented him from further disputing with the security guards. But ungrateful as Derek, he couldn't understand her kindness.
Abruptly he shook off Donna's hand, "Back off, Linda Xia. Come out quickly!"
It was 9 o'clock in the morning. Inside the hall, the reporters, hearing the commotion, were all wondering what it was about.
Who dare to ruin the engagement ceremony of Charles Mu?
A lunatic?
They flocked to the entrance to see what happened.
"What a psycho......"
Linda's brain was still throbbing with pain. She felt the grip on her waist was tightened. Charles said, "I'm fine. Let's go." She raised her head and looked into his eyes. They were calm, without disturbance, which also cooled Linda down. She nodded, "OK."
"Derek, what's wrong with you! Don't do this."
Though pushed away by Derek, Donna, seeing reporters pouring into the hall with cameras and microphones, hasted to drag him away. This time, Derek couldn't bear it any more.
"Did you hear me? Back off! Where is Linda Xia? She still owes me 400 thousand. When's she going to pay?"
Hearing his words, reporters started to whisper to each other.
"What does he mean? Did Linda Xia borrow a lot of money before Xia clan found her?"
"I have no idea. But the guy looks so angry. It doesn't look like he's lying"
"Outrageous! Since she's returned to Xia clan and will marry Charles Mu, why didn't she pay the money back? Shame on her!"
"I guess she did not have the courage to tell Charles Mu. But rich as the Xia clan, even in the middle of a business crisis, it should be able to spare 400 thousand." They were whispering, and Linda heard them all.
She had assumed Derek was coming for the money, for he must have thought that, with so many people watching, she would have no other choice but to lend him the money.
But she didn't expect him to be so shameless as to sling mud at her.
What a vicious man!
Donna was angry. She knew Derek was never a nice guy.
Yet she never expected him to say something like this.
Donna was dizzy with rage and so when shoved by Derek, she immediately fell backward.
Fortunately, Anna was standing behind her, and at the sight of her falling, she hasted to lift her up, "Donna, watch out."
Seeing this, Linda couldn't bear it any more. What the F**k?
However, the walk from the hall to the entrance had calmed her down as the situation became clear to her.
People always say something irrational when they are angry.
If Linda started to squabble with Derek, she would play right into the hands of those who conspired all these.
By connecting what Amy said in the washroom, with the fact that Derek had owed 300 thousands to an underground casino, Linda finally came up with the reason why Derek was standing here. Maybe Derek had lost another 400 thousands.
"Who sends you here? Vincent Zhou?" Linda's question was concise and right to the point, and it took Derek aback.
"I don't know any Vincent Zhou. What I know is you owe me 400 thousand." Replied Derek with a vicious tone.
Linda cast an indifferent glance at him, "Don't know him? What about Ju Cai Casino?"
"Shit! What does the casino have to do with anything? I said I don't know him. Hurry up and give me 400 thousand. You are engaged with Charles Mu, aren't you? 400 thousand is nothing to rich people like the Mu clan." Behind the crowd, Amy was holding her swollen forehead. She had piercing eyes and a grin was hanging on her mouth.
Her thigh still hurt. she had sprained her ankle on her 4-inches high-heels, and her ankle had swollen to the size of a steamed bun.
But regardless of all the pains and her wretched appearance, she still got out of the washroom to see the drama she orchestrated.
Attendants couldn't help looking at her when she came out of the washroom, with messy hair and terrible makeup, yet at the sight of her vicious look, they dared not to approach her and ask if she needed any help. They all lowered their heads and walked past her. Amy mumbled to herself, "Linda Xia, this is my first present for your engagement. Do you like it? We're not done yet...... This is mere appetizer....... Main dishes are still to come......"
"You don't know him, huh?" "Fine. Bun, take him to the police station. There are security cameras inside the ward of Mu's hospital. Fetch the footage and send it to the police. Also get the footage of the drive recorder in Charles' car and give it to the police. Derek Xie owes me 300 thousand, and it's due tomorrow. If you can't pay me back by then, your house will be taken away."
