Chapter 276
“I…” Linda stammered with no words forting.
Hades, however, brazenly sauntered over to the sofa and plopped down, crossing his legs. “She’s
my subordinate.”
Upon hearing that, Selena stared at him, her gaze tinged with a hint of anguish and fury. “So, you’ve
never trusted me, and she’s a spy you nted by my side long ago!”
At this, Linda hastily stepped forward. “Selena, please don’t be angry with me. I was just—”
Before Linda could get all her words out, Selena swung her hand and pped her across the face.
“I trusted you wholeheartedly, yet you betrayed me!”
Covering her face with a hand, Linda lowered her eyes, not daring to say a single word further.
All at once, Selena understood a lot of things. I remember Juniper once saying that Linda knows
martial arts, but I didn’t pay it much mind back then. I never thought that she’d betray me when I
trusted her so much! Her chest ached as though she’d been stabbed right through the heart. For the
first time, she felt as though she was a joke. Her head abruptly snapped up, and she looked at her.
“That spy was actually you, no? It was you who ryed crucial information to Hades, yes?”

During herst conversation with Pierre, she was both infuriated and rattled, so she didn’t try
figuring out what he was trying to say. She was indeed a spy, but she was merely a corporate spy;
all the information she ryed was rted to Fowler Corporation’s trade secrets. However, if it was
merely that, he probably wouldn’t have been so enraged. She’d also guessed his other identity, so
what he meant by spy probably had to do with his other identity, and that was why he was livid!
“Selena, I just…” Linda furtively cast a nce at Hades. “I just executed my orders, so please don’t
me me.”
Meanwhile, Hades was still sitting there expressionlessly as though he was carved of stone, his
thoughts unfathomable.
Abruptly, Selena cackled before turning around and staring at Hades. I’d thought that he was a cold
person, but surely, he still has a heart underneath it all. Besides, he treated Juniper so well that I
trusted him and was grateful to him. At this very moment, however, I’ve finally realized that he
doesn’t have a heart! “I’ve risked my life for you, yet I didn’t even get an iota of trust in return. I’ll
never marry such a person.” After saying that, she left the castle in huge strides.
Thus, it was only Linda and Hades left in the entire castle. Despite Selena’s recent outburst, Hades
still sat there on the sofa, aloof. Never had I expected Selena to discover the truth about Linda at
this time. Linda was someone whom he’d nted by Selena’s side at the very beginning. Back then,
Selena had just established JNS Corporation, and he was worried that she would be so
powerful that he couldn’t control her anymore. Hence, he arranged for Linda to join thepany. In
reality, he indeed hadn’t trusted her at that time. He’d never trusted anyone, including every single
one of his subordinates.
After deliberating for a long moment, Linda walked over to Hades. “I’m sorry, boss. I didn’t know—”
“Why?” Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Hades spoke, his expression turning terrifyingly
dark. This is definitely not an ident. Rather, she did it on purpose!
When Linda heard that, she opened her mouth, her gaze darting around. She knew that she
couldn’t pull the wool over his eyes, so she swiftly dropped to her knees on the ground, clutching his
legs with both hands. “I’m sorry, boss. It was indeed deliberate on my part.”
Hades waited silently for her ensuing exnation.
“I’m saddened to be a spy by Selena’s side. She treats me extremely well, so I really don’t want to
betray her.”
Uncrossing his legs, Hades leaned forward and lifted her chin forcefully. “Really?”
Linda’s heart galloped wildly, so much so that even her chin was trembling. “Y-Yes.”
