Let's Get A Divorce, Mr. CEO

Chapter 25: He Asked Her To Come Back Just To Torture Her 

After leaving the Bo family's mansion, Cecil turned his head to look at the woman beside him and said, "My mother slapped you really hard, didn't she?"

"It's okay," Linda replied calmly.

Looking at her indifference, he frowned.

"Doesn't it hurt?"

Linda pouted slightly as she looked up into his eyes.

"It does.So what?"

At this moment, Cecil found that her eyes had turned red.

For a moment, he froze, feeling as if his heart dropped.

When he opened his thin lips again, though, his tone was nonchalant as usual.

"You didn't say anything.Are you just going to hate her in your heart?"

"No, it's my fault.I deserved it."

When Cecil heard those words, an unreadable look flashed in his eyes.

'What kind of woman is she?' The rest of the ride back to their villa was spent in silence.

When they reached the villa, Linda looked at the man walking in front of her and called out, "Mr.Bo..."

Cecil stopped and turned around.

"What?"

"I'm still a student at Los University, so I can't do housework all the time.Can I attend my classes?" she asked tentatively.

Cecil stared at her without saying anything.

Linda hurriedly added, "If necessary, I can do housework after my classes are done."

"No need.Just attend your classes."

It was only after hearing this that she inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay.Can I...live on campus?"

Cecil's face soured a little.He took a step forward and looked at her coldly.

"Miss Ye, don't you think that's too much?"

Linda nervously took a step back and shook her head.

"No.It's normal for students to live on campus."

Cecil reached out and raised her chin with his long fingers.

In a low voice that was somehow sexy and frightening at the same time, he asked, "Things are going to get interesting for the Ye family.As the daughter of Martin Ye, aren't you curious to see what will happen?"

A trace of panic flashed through Linda's eyes.

"What are you going to do?"

Cecil smiled lightly.

"What am I going to do? You'll find out soon."

After saying that, he let go of her and added, "You can attend your classes, but come home by eight o'clock every night."

Then, he went upstairs and disappeared into the study. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

As Linda watched his receding figure in a daze, her lips trembled.

Of course, she knew that he asked her to come back every night just to torture her.

He wanted to vent his anger and resentment by punishing her and seeing her unhappy.

But she was in the wrong, so what choice did she have? She had to be obedient.

After calming herself down, she went upstairs to her room and dialed her father's number.

As soon as Martin answered the phone, he asked, "Linda, did Cecil bully you?"

"No, Dad, don't worry.He said he'll allow me to go back to university."

"That's good," said Martin with a slight sigh.

"But Dad, the Ye Group may be in trouble in the future. Cecil is going to take revenge on us..."

"Don't worry about that," Martin said gently.

"I already expected him to do that.The Ye Group has a solid foundation, and it can't be destroyed overnight.I will try my best to hold on until Leona comes back."

Out loud, Linda agreed, but in her heart, she knew that these were just meaningless words to comfort themselves.

Whoever Cecil wanted to deal with would be doomed.

'And Leona...Where on earth is she?' Linda wondered.

Thinking of that, she suddenly realized that she could ask Cecil to arrange someone to look for her.

As a powerful man, he definitely had connections that were as good as Martin's, and perhaps even better.
