Chapter 96 Why Would I Want to Kill My Own Daughter


    "I''m terribly sorry. Please, please pull me back into the room. Then I can tell you the whole thing."


    "Tell me first."


    "I went to Mr. Zhou''s casino and won 50, 000 at first. Then I thought I can continue to earn more


    money, maybe another 50, 000. But from then on I began to lost and in the end the money I lost was as


    much as 300, 000."


    "Who brought you to his casino?"


    Linda did not believe what he said. She knew how Derek Xie was, a person who would quit the game

    as long as the money he lost was up to a few thousands. There''s no way he could gamble away such a


    fortune.


    Someone must have put him up to it.


    "It''s Mark Wang. He told me it''s pretty easy to win money in that casino and he had earned a fortune. I


    believed and followed him in to the casino."


    Mark Wang, a heavy gambler, who used to be Derek Xie''s neighbor, He gambled away everything


    including his house.


    His disappointed wife divorced him and left with their son.


    After hearing what Derek said, Linda''s curling eyshes fluttered and she understood there was


    nothing useful she could get from Mark Wang. There''s no point in further interrogating him.


    "All right. Pull him back in. So it is Vincent Zhou who told you to do all of this today?" said Linda as she


    shook her head and waved at Bun.


    Bun did what she was told and pulled Derek Xie back into the room.


    As he was just brought back from the brink of death, Derek Xie was ashen-faced and gasping for air.


    "I have no choice, you know. I was told that they would force Lily to be a whore to make money for


    them if I can''t pay their money back. How can I let them do such horrible


    Thing to Lily? Maybe she is not a bright kid, but she is my daughter!"


    After hearing what he just said, Linda frowned with an unreadable expression on her face. Lily was a


    well-behaved girl even if she didn''t do well in school.


    Derek Xie always used Lily as an excuse for the inexcusable things he did to his family. He had once


    throwed Donna Xie and Cindy Xie out.


    At first Donna Xie did not dare let Linda know that.


    It''s Lily who came to Linda and told her the whole thing after school.


    So Linda thought Lily was a pretty good kid.


    "Stopping using Lily as an excuse. I can let you off this time. But I would report what you did to the


    police if you dare to appear in front of me again. Now, get out!"


    After finishing those words, Linda left the room 1802 with Bun, leaving Derek Xie alone there.


    He fell back onto the floor and his legs shrived with fear.


    It took him half an hour toe to himself and then he left the hotel with his limp legs.


    Linda felt pretty sorry for Lily to have such a father. But there''s no way she would pay Derek Xie''s


    debts.


    It was a matter of principle.


    In the past years, Derek Xie had did so many horrible things to them that Linda never wanted to meet


    him again.


    Linda wanted to be a kind person, but not a softie.


    Softie was always the victims of bullies.


    Finally, the problem caused by Derek Xie was solved.


    Linda''s engagement party was about to begin soon.


    But Linda didn''t feel relieved because she was sure the "present" Amy Qi mentioned could not be


    Derek Xie.


    After Linda went downstairs, she met her father who looked pretty energetic after having some good


    rest.


    "Linda, you''re getting engaged today. I am so happy for you."


    The Mu n was so rich and powerful. Johnson Xia felt really happy that Linda could marry Charles


    Mu.


    "Thanks, father. By the way, my foster mother Donna Xie is here now. You want to say hi to her?" Linda


    smiled and her sparkling eyes narrowed like two crescent moons.


    Johnson Xia''s face brightened and said, "Really? It''s good. I have been wanting to thank her face-to-


    face. But it seems that she was reluctant to meet me. So I gave up."


    "Father, does the name Donna Xie ring a bell to you?"


    Johnson Xia thought for a second and shook his head, "No, I don''t think I know her."


    "How about people with thest name Xie? Is it possible that my mother knew someone with thest


    name Xie?"


    "Well... let me think... I remembered a servant from your mother''s home had thest name Xie. Your


    mother always called her Miss Xie. But she resigned and left soon after you''re born."


    So what Donna Xie told Linda was true.


    But Linda didn''t me Donna Xie for taking her away from her parents. Had it not been for Donna Xie''s


    help, there''s no way Linda could survive and grow up.


    People in the Xia n schemed against each other and many of them wanted her died.


    Linda''s d she didn''t grow up in such environment. If so, she could not have had a happy childhood.


    She wished Donna Xie would not feel sorry for her parents and avoided her father.


    "OK, let''s go meet her."


    "Really?" Johnson Xia hesitated.


    Hum?" Linda knew what''s worrying his father and nodded to him.


    Linda walked Johnson Xia to the room Donna Xie was in. Anna was helping her take the medicine.


    She had to take her medicine before every meal.


    Upon seeing Johnson Xia, Donna Xie went into a panic and the cup in her hands fell to the floor, water


    spattering everywhere.


    "Miss Xie?" said Johnson Xia with his trembled lips.


    "My Lord..."


    Donna Xie''s eyes became moist. She held onto a table and sat down. Donna Xie always felt dizzy


    when she suffered from violent mood swings and had to sit down.


    "Miss Xie, why have you be Linda''s foster mother? So it is you who took Linda away from me?"


    Donna Xie shook her head and said, "No, it''s Vincent Zhou. He brought Linda to me...


    ... Butler Zhou! It''s him again! Johnson Xia clenched his hands into fists.


    Johnson Xia had been pretty nice to him.


    But he betrayed Johnson by having affairs with May Shen and had Johnson raise his daughter, Lisa


    Xia. On top of that, he took Linda away from Johnson.


    "My Lord, I feel terriby sorry for what I had done to you. I am too shamed to face you. I will be gone."


    Donna Xie wiped her tears and began to leave.


    Linda stopped her and said, "Mom, you don''t have to feel sorry. My father didn''t me you. We know


    it''s not your fault."


    Johnson Xia signed, "Miss Xie... tell me the whole thing."


    "Butler Zhou brought Linda to me and told me that you got pretty angry because Lady Nn failed to


    give birth to a boy for you. So you wanted to kill Linda. Butler Zhou instructed me to leave SH City with


    her and nevere back."


    Johnson Xia wept bitterly, "I have never got upset about her delivering a girl for me and there''s no way I


    would want to kill my own daughter. Miss Xie, you had been with us for many years. Didn''t you know


    what kind of person I am? Why would I do that?"
