All of a sudden, Linda regretted coming to the study to talk to Cecil.
If she had just minded her own business, the downfall of the Ye Group wouldn't have come so soon!
Gritting her teeth, she took one last look at him before walking out of the study.
Looking at her receding figure, Cecil casually drawled, "Miss Ye, remember to tell your father the news
now.Maybe he'll be able to avert a crisis...at least for now."
Linda paused without turning around.
The moment he was finished, she continued to walk away.
After entering her bedroom, the first thing she did was dial her father's number.
As long as he could come up with a contingency plan, the Ye Group could be saved, at least for the
time being.
After three rings, the call was answered.
She hurriedly said, "Dad, Cecil just called a manager with the surname of Lin and asked him to cut off
the supply of the latest goods of the Ye Group.Please see if you can come up with a solution."
"Okay.Linda, remember, what Cecil wants to deal with is the Ye Group.You are innocent, so if he tries
to bully you, don't be afraid.Just come home.Your mom and I will take care of you and protect you,"
Martin said seriously.
"Dad, don't worry about me.He hasn't done anything to me so far,"
Linda said as reassuringly as she could.
Martin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly hung up so that he could do something about the oncoming
crisis of the Ye Group.
Linda's shoulders slumped, and she felt like a weight had been lifted off of her.Before she could calm
down, however, she heard Cecil's voice come from behind her.
"You sounded disappointed when you said I haven't done anything to you yet" Linda froze.
She slowly turned around and looked at the man leaning against the door frame of the room.
His expression was nonchalant and unreadable, but his eyes were so sharp that they made her heart
race.
It took her a while to steady her breathing.
She didn't want to entertain this line of conversation, but she couldn't ignore him completely either, so
she said, "I'm going to bed."
Before she could turn around, Cecil said, "Stop."
Perhaps it was because of his authoritative tone, or because she was curious about what he would do,
but she stopped right away.
Swallowing nervously, she turned around and looked at him.
"Mr.Bo, what else can I do for you?"
For a moment, Cecil regarded her without saying anything.
Then, as if making a decision, he walked towards her and ran his eyes over her from head to toe.
Under his scrutinizing gaze, Linda couldn't stop her heart from beating uncontrollably.
She could hear the servants busy working on the first floor of the villa, but all that noise seemed to fade
with every step Cecil took towards her.
Soon, it was as if there was no one in this world except for the two of them.
Their faces were close enough to touch.
Then, without warning, Cecil held her waist and pulled her into the master bedroom.
As they entered, he swiftly closed the door and pressed Linda against it.
His arms were on either side of her face, leaving her with no room for escape.
Linda tried to look away, but he lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his burning eyes.
She couldn't help but hold her breath as his face approached hers.
"Mr.Bo...what are you doing?"
Cecil withdrew his long fingers from her chin and ran them up her cheek.
Linda parted her lips subconsciously.Her mouth went dry as she looked at him warily.
With a smirk at the corner of his lips, Cecil replied, "Miss Ye, you and I have gotten our marriage
certificate.Legally, you are my wife now.So why don't we do something that a husband and a wife would
do?"
