Chapter 657 Back to Despair
Since Linda had seen Aston, she had been distracted for the next few days.
That day, Suzy noticed how distracted Linda was at work. Hence, she invited Linda to head downstairs to buy some desserts for
their colleagues as afternoon tea.
Linda walked around and chose a cake shop, thinking of buying some cupcakes.
She was just waiting for the staff to finish putting the cupcakes in a box when a hand hugged her around the waist all of a
sudden.
Linda jumped in fright. She immediately pushed the hand off of her.
When she turned around, she saw Aston’s sleazy smile.
“Linda, I thought you used to like me doing that to you? Didn’t you say it was very romantic?”
Linda was disgusted by his actions.
“I was blind before. Don’t bring the past up anymore! If you harass me again, I’ll tell Ms. Solace about it!” She glared at him
furiously.
“Oh?” Aston raised an eyebrow.
*It looks like you were there at the office the other day after all. I thought you weren’t there.”
He added, “By the way, aren’t you Stephen Anderson’s sister? Why is your surname still Mitchell? Is the Anderson family
refusing to accept you because you’re the illegitimate child who grew up in the slums?”
It had been a few years since Aston had returned to Qynea. He’d always been paying attention to the news about the Anderson
family.
But he had never once read the news of the Anderson family’s long-lost heiress returning home.
He’d only found out that Linda was working here through the company’s website. He’d been trying to help Isabel pick an
investment company when he’d come across it.
If Linda was truly the heiress of the Anderson family, why did she still need to work?
‘Linda, il the Anderson family doesn’t want you, you can still be with me. I have some money right now. I’ll make sure you have a
comfortable life.”
Aston leaned in closer and sniffed her. “I still miss you, after all.”
‘Fuck you!” Linda swore at him.
“You might want to be a sugar baby, but don’t drag me down with you. I still have my principles.”
Aston retorted through gritted teeth, “How ungrateful. If it weren’t for our past, I wouldn’t have put my money with Finspatial. If
you really offend me, I’m going to see how you answer to your boss!”
Just as he finished speaking, someone kicked the back of Aston’s knees. He fell to the ground, kneeling.
Seeing Yvonne behind Aston, Linda’s eyes brightened. “Yvonne!”
Aston swore, “Who the fuck would be so nosy? 1-”
He immediately shut up when he turned to see Yvonne.
He watched as Linda ran to Yvonne and held her arm affectionately. “Yvonne, he’s a jerk. We don’t have to waste our time with
him.”
Then, Linda led Yvonne out of the shop without even taking her cupcakes.
After walking for a while, Yvonne frowned and retracted her hand. “Is he the one who owed money at the casino that time?”
Linda nodded and smiled bitterly. “You have a good memory.”
“Why was he looking for you?”
“..
Yvonne calmly said, “If he harasses you like this again in the future, you can call the cops and take him to court for harassment.”
Then, Yvonne looked up and saw Nicole waving to her nearby. “I’ll have to go,” Yvonne said, leaving.
Linda remained in the same spot, looking at Yvonne leaving.
It was sunny and warm outside, but all Linda felt was cold and darkness.
For a moment there, she had felt like Aston would pull her back into despair once more.
Yvonne got in Nicole’s car and turned to look at Linda.
If she hadn’t thought of buying a cake for the road, she wouldn’t have run into them. She’d seen Aston getting closer to Linda.
She’d instinctively kicked him without hearing their conversation.
Thinking back about her actions. Yvonne felt as if she had meddled in other people’s affairs once more.
However, she soon put that thought about Linda aside. She had more pressing matters to attend to.
