Married a Secret Billionaire

“He got locked up because of me!” Linda could no longer hold herself back and cried.

Cordelia was stunned, and her mind blanked out. It was after a long time that she heard Linda’s soft voice.

Linda had only told half of her and Nicholas’ story to Cordelia the last time. This other half was devastating. It was also a memory that she did not want to look back on.

“Actually… my parents were already divorced when I was very young,” Linda recounted. “The court gave me to my mom, but she was only a regular doctor back then. She was busy and had to take care of a child. She could barely make ends meet with her monthly income. In order to give me a better life, she found me a stepfather.”

Cordelia had met Linda’s stepfather before. He was a kind and friendly man who ran his own small business. The man was not rich, but everyday life was not an issue for them.

“I panicked so much that I went blank. I only remember blood everywhere. Nicholas kept stabbing him, and he had blood on his face. My brother twitched in his pool of blood… until someone passed by and called the police.”

Cordelia sucked in a cold breath. “So, he was sentenced because of this?”

Linda looked at her quietly, her pale face wearing a grieving expression.
