Hide Your Identities Or Inherit Millions-Chapter 30

Chapter 30

Friends immediately understood when they heard, playfully teasing Linda.

“When did you meet President Berney?”

“President Berney looks so handsome. Are you going to marry him or something? No one else has managed to invite him, yet he’s here at your coming-of-age ceremony.”

“What a special occasion—your coming-of-age ceremony!”

“The Williams family is here, too. Linda, you have some pull.”

At this age, young people love to joke around. They didn’t really think that Linda and President Berney had any special relationship. However, since he came to her coming-of-age ceremony, they must know each other, right?

Linda was also puzzled when she saw Peter and Sir and Lady Williams.

It was only when she heard the envious comments from those around her that she wanted to clarify the situation but simply smiled instead, “I’m not sure either, but my dad has a partnership with the Fortune Law Group. I think I saw President Berney once when I went to pick up my dad from there. I didn’t expect to see him here.”

Hearing this, her friends automatically filled in the blanks, assuming that Peter had taken a liking to Linda at first sight and had intentions toward her, hence his presence at the ceremony.

The girls, who initially took it as a joke, now had some doubts.

That’s President Berney. Did he really take a liking to Linda?

What a stroke of luck from the heavens!

Lily said enviously, “You’re so pretty; it’s only natural for someone to be smitten with you. This is like something that only happens in novels—so romantic.”

Linda awkwardly laughed, “It’s not that exaggerated. I’m not that familiar with President Berney.”

“Get to know him better, then.”

“If he’s really here for you, you should seize the opportunity.”

“Exactly, you can’t let your sister get there first.”

“Speaking of which, has your sister been bullying you?”

“By the way, why haven’t we seen her? Is it true that she used to live in the countryside?”

The conversation somehow shifted to Elizabeth, and some people seemed to look down upon her past life.

Linda interrupted them, “My sister is not like that. Don’t talk about her like this. She’s a good person. When she first came back, she even brought me a gift. Though it was just a two-dollar bracelet she bought from a roadside stall, the fact she brought me a gift shows she accepts me.”

Lily hesitated, “I feel like she’s mocking you. No matter how poor she is, she wouldn’t have to give you something that only costs two dollars.”

“Huh?” Linda looked surprised and firmly denied, “Impossible! Even though she doesn’t talk to me much, I don’t believe she did it on purpose.”

“Are you sure she’s not ignoring you deliberately? You’re too kind-hearted; can’t you see the obvious targeting?”

Someone who couldn’t bear to see Linda being bullied spoke up.

Pretending to be angry, Linda said, “Stop talking, or else I won’t talk to you anymore.”

The group of pampered young masters and mistresses showed complicated expressions. Linda was too kind and easy to deceive.

At the same time, they mentally labeled Elizabeth as a rustic, tasteless person who likes to play mind games and bully Linda covertly.

Initially, because of the Wilson family, they wanted to make friends with Elizabeth. Now they completely gave up the idea.

She’s not their match.

Emily had to pass this group on her way upstairs. Hearing them pity Linda, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Stupid idiots.

She had seen it with her own eyes before; Linda was a two-faced person. From that moment, she knew Linda was not as simple as she appeared.

Emily stomped upstairs to tattle to Elizabeth: Someone is trying to create a rift and isolate you.

Before she could find Elizabeth’s room, she heard the door click open.

“Elizabeth, someone is bad-mouthing you.”

Emily heard the noise and looked up, and the next second, “What the hell!”
