Puzzled, Jane asked, “What might they be dealing with?”
Meanwhile, Linda had arrived at the Murrays’ house. After Jerry moved his family and belongings to Yucaria, he bought the famous Vince Manor when he gradually gained more foothold in Yucaria.
Vince Manor was a romantic place. Other than the fact that it occupied a larger area, it could hardly compare to other manors. Therefore, it didn’t cost Jerry much when he bought it. After acquiring it, he began refurbishing it. Aside from setting up a beautiful garden, he even repaired whatever that remained of the maze that was left behind by previous owners.
By now, Vince Manor had become a place that was filled with a romantic and artistic atmosphere, which was exceptionally loved by girls. Reportedly, tourists who came to Yucaria would love to visit the place, but it wasn’t open to the public due to the fact that it was a private manor.
Linda had heard of the manor when she arrived in the city. Back when she first started going after Jason, she used to fantasize about becoming the lady of Vince Manor. She never expected her fantasies to come true in such a manner.
“This way please, Miss Dunn.” The servant had been waiting for a while. It wasn’t until Linda entered the manor that she bore witness to the romantic air and the enchanting sceneries within the manor. With every turn, she found herself being surprised by the architecture, which made her yearn for the place even more.
Jerry and his wife, Lindsay Davis, were already waiting at the entrance while supporting each other. Despite the tears on their faces, they were smiling. Jason already explained to them that their daughter, Jessica Murray, had passed away, but she had left behind a daughter. Although they were grieving over Jessica’s passing, the fact that they still had a granddaughter was solace to them.
After taking a deep breath, Linda approached them with tears in her eyes. Jerry was a man who had gone through the ordeals of life, so he straightened his posture without a word in a show of forbearance.
On the contrary, Lindsay walked up to Linda to hold her hand. “Child, I’ve been wanting to see you.” She couldn’t help but shed tears. In order to take a better look at Linda’s face, she kept on wiping her tears away. “You look just like her! You’re almost identical to her!”
All the while, Linda was rejoicing internally. This must be a show of benevolence from the heavens, she thought. Back when she decided to go for plastic surgery, she showed an image of Selena’s face to the doctor as Selena was the most beautiful woman she had ever met.
Although Linda’s original face looked nothing like Selena, a few tweaks to Linda’s face was enough to make her resemble Selena, owing to the advance technology and techniques in the plastic surgery industry. In a twist of fate, it turned out that the semblance she bore also made her look more like Selena’s mother.
“Alright, let’s not stand here. We should have a chat inside the house.” Lindsay was all smiles when she held Linda’s hand. “It’s my fault that we are standing here. I was so engrossed in checking out my granddaughter. Come on, in we go.”
Although Jason was also there, he thought he shouldn’t be disturbing them, so he left straightaway. After that, Jerry and Lindsay brought Linda to the reception hall. Lindsay refused to let go of Linda’s hand even when the three of them sat down. Then, she asked curiously, “Why is she so quiet?”
Like a wounded bunny, Linda glanced at both Jerry and Lindsay with fear written in her eyes.
“I suppose she is just too frightened. Child, you have nothing to worry about. We are your grandparents. Has your mother never mentioned to you about us?” It wasn’t until then that Jerry finally spoke.
“Are you really my grandparents?” Linda’s voice sounded full of timidness as she questioned them tentatively.
