Hide Your Identities Or Inherit Millions

“Linda told me. She wouldn’t lie,” Lily firmly believed in Linda.

Jack was silent for a long time, and finally said, “I see,” before hanging up the phone.

He closed his eyes, thinking back to the conversation he had with Linda earlier that day.

For some reason, he took a detour and headed back home.

After Jack hung up, Lily felt something was off. So, she called Linda to inform her.

Lily thought, “Even if the Wilsons don’t cherish you, at least Jack cares about you. He even personally called to ask about your plan to move out.”

In the meantime, Jack knocked on Ray’s study door.

“Dad, I need to ask you something.”

Ray took off his reading glasses. Seeing Jack’s grave expression, he asked, “What is it?”

Jack looked distressed, “Were you planning to donate a building to Sunny Heights High School?”

Ray nodded, “Yes, we did have that thought.”

Relief flashed across Jack’s face, at least confirming Linda hadn’t lied.

“But it didn’t work out. Sunny Heights has huge backing. They don’t need us, ” Ray shook his head.

Jack’s heart sank again. He couldn’t help but say, “Dad, please tell me everything all at once next time.”

Seeing his eldest son leave and close the door behind him, Sir. Wilson was left perplexed.

Jack was filled with regret. He had misunderstood Elizabeth again!

He thought she was trying to sow discord and even doubted her qualifications to get into Sunny Heights.

After calming himself, Jack went to Linda’s room and called her into the study.

Sitting in his office chair, with a deep, serious gaze, he looked intimidating, especially as he stared at Linda.

He had never been one to blindly indulge his family. At that moment, he knew Linda didn’t truly accept Elizabeth as it appeared on the surface, and he realized they must clear things up.

“Jack,” Linda looked confused, “Why aren’t you speaking?”

Jack broke his silence, “Linda, tell me, what do you really think about Elizabeth? I want the truth.’

“I…” Linda hesitated for a moment and then lowered her head.

“Of course, I like her.

Jack observed her closely, sensing something was off.

“Is that really how you feel? As I said, I want the truth.”

Linda looked conflicted and pressed her lips together, choosing not to speak further.

Jack watched her nervous demeanor, moved by it, but quickly suppressed his emotions, “Do you dislike Elizabeth?”

Linda lowered her head, neither denying nor admitting.

Suppressing his emotions, Jack continued, “Did you tell your friends you wanted to move out just because you didn’t want to ‘get in Elizabeth’s way ?

How would people view Elizabeth hearing that?

Would they think that because of Elizabeth’s return, Linda’s life in this family had become unbearable, driving her to want to move out?

Linda looked pained, shaking her head vigorously, “I don’t dislike Elizabeth…”

Disappointment flashed in Jack’s eyes. He said in a helpless tone, “I always thought you liked Elizabeth a lot, but it seems… you’re actually repelled by

“You can talk to me about any grievances. I don’t want you speaking ill of Elizabeth outside. She’s my little sister too.”

Jack said, forcing himself to be stern.

“I…” Linda’s face went pale, her eyes filled with despair.

After a moment, tears started to trickle down her cheeks as she sobbed softly.

Her sobs broke Jack’s heart into a million pieces..
