Chapter 22 Lucinda's Scold
As soon as the phone rang, Sarah's name jumped on the screen.
"Sarah." Linda's voice was still gentle and sweet.
"Why did you lie to us?" Sarah asked angrily.
"Sarah, why can't I understand what you said?"
"Who is Roslin?" Sarah said in a deep voice.
Linda's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad premonition, asking, "Have you heard someone say anything?"
Hearing the sobs in Linda's voice, Sarah, who was furious on the other end of the phone, couldn't bear to continue to question her.
"You should check it out on the Internet yourself. I think everyone in H City knows what's going on about your family now."
After hanging up the phone, Linda hurriedly checked the latest news online. Seeing the headline on Facebook and other major mainstream media about the true and false daughter of the Smith family, her heart sank to the bottom instantly, and a sense of shame spread all over her body. She would rather evaporate than face the ridicule and pity of outsiders.
Everyone in the upper circles of H City should know it, and those people in the school must know it too. Linda felt ashamed and angry at the thought of her having to face all kinds of strange looks from everyone.
Roslin, why did you come back? Why did you come to take away my identity and my things?
It was all her fault. She was the one who put her in such an embarrassing situation.
"Roslin!" Linda put on a ferocious face, her eyes full of resentment.
The next day, Roslin learned from the servant that Linda was ill and had a persistent high fever, which made Lucinda very anxious. After the family doctor checked on her, Lucinda stayed by her side and never left her.
Mary reminded Roslin, "Miss, will you go and see Miss Linda?"
