The truth was, Linda didn't have a choice.
When Leona had run away, she had taken her ID card, her passport, and all other important
documents with her.She glanced at Cecil and said calmly, "You're right."
All of a sudden, the look in Cecil's eyes sharpened.
"Once Leona comes back, we will get a divorce.That's the fate you deserve, to become a divorced
woman," he sneered.
Linda could barely swallow the poison in his words.She couldn't believe that he had brought up this
matter just as a way of punishing her.
After all, there was no reason for him to get a marriage certificate with her.
However, she had no choice but to agree to his demands.
While she was still chewing over his words, Cecil left the dining room.
The next day, Cecil ordered his driver to take him and Linda to the Ye family's house.
He had prepared a large number of gifts, as if he was really accompanying his newly-wed bride to her
home.
Despite the elaborate show, Linda was well aware that if Leona didn't show up today, the whole Ye
family would suffer greatly from now on.As she sat in the car, she unconsciously clenched the hem of
her dress with her fingers.
After a few minutes, she turned her head to look at Cecil, who was resting his eyes.
"Mr.Bo, can't you just wait for her without causing trouble for my family?"
Cecil opened his eyes, revealing the displeasure in them.
He glanced at Linda coldly and sneered, "Are you being serious?"
Linda bit her lower lip and tried to gather her courage as she continued, "Maybe she had an
unspeakable reason for doing what she did."
"Maybe she did, and maybe the whole Ye family did too.But I'm the one who was stupid enough to be
fooled by all of you," Cecil spat.
Linda remained silent, digging her nails into her thighs.She didn't know how to respond.
Even from observing him from a distance, she knew that Cecil had never been a lenient man.
Moreover, after becoming the CEO of the Bo Group, he had become more domineering than ever.Now
that he had been tricked into a fake marriage, it was reasonable for him to be so angry.
Although Linda knew that she wouldn't be able to get Cecil to agree to leave her family alone, she
couldn't help but try to convince him whenever she got the chance.
After another twenty minutes, the car rolled to a stop outside a villa.Cecil asked the driver to carry all
the gifts he had bought into the villa, and then entered with Linda.
Upon their arrival, Martin rushed to the door and smiled.
"You're back."
He carefully avoided addressing Linda by name, and when he cast his gaze on Cecil, his face paled
slightly.He knew better than anyone else that today was a special day.
Mrs.Ye also walked into the living room and greeted both of them before taking Linda aside.She talked
to her daughter about trivial matters, but the whole time, there was a worried look on her face.
Soon, the four of them sat around the dining table for lunch.
While eating, Cecil didn't say anything unpleasant, but the whole Ye family was on edge and barely
able to swallow their food.
After lunch, they sat in the living room to drink tea and eat some fruits.
Since Cecil didn't bring up Leona's name, their parents pointedly ignored it.
Linda carefully refrained from mentioning it, too, but she could see that her parents were prepared to
receive Cecil's order and criticism at any time.
The Ye Group was a huge company.
The crisis they were facing recently had been caused by poor management, and a few greedy directors
who had deliberately cut corners to get a bigger cut of the profit.
But the Ye Group had a solid foundation, so the current crisis was nothing that couldn't be solved with a
bit of money.
If Cecil was generous enough to absorb the Ye Group into the Bo Group, it would definitely be a good
opportunity.
While taking a sip of her tea, Linda subconsciously looked up at him.
After meeting her gaze, Cecil's thin fips finally moved.
"Uncle Ye."
