It had to be Eric. He was finally back. He had come… for her.

“Yes, Miss Harris.” The caregiver rushed to the entrance and pulled the door open.

A tall figure stepped inside.

The smile on Linda’s face slowly withered, replaced by a cold, flat stare.

Looking at the visitor, Linda said nonchalantly,

“It’s you.”

“Miss Harris,” Phillips said with a polite nod and smile. “Mr. Flynn sent me.”

He wasn’t alone. Cristian was with him.

“Hello, Miss Harris.”

“Hello, Mr. Haywood.” Linda’s brow creased slightly, though she maintained a faint smile. “Is there something you need?”

Phillips nodded.

“There are a few formalities that require Mr. Haywood’s involvement. Let’s talk inside.”

“Alright.”

Once they were seated in the living room, Cristian opened a folder packed with documents and laid them out in front of Linda.

“Miss Harris, please review and sign these.”

“What are these?” Linda scanned them. “Property transfer?”

“Yes.”

The villa she was currently living in at Silver Villas had been a rental. Now, Eric had bought it outright and transferred the ownership to her.

“Additionally, he has deposited a significant sum into your account. That requires your signature as well.”

A villa. And a large amount of money.

Most people would be overjoyed by such gifts. However, Linda couldn’t bring herself to smile. It was just strange.

She turned to Phillips and asked,

Step into new worlds at g ? lnσ ν ?s?conn

“What does this mean?”

Phillips was momentarily caught off guard but eventually shook his head in response.

“I’m just following Mr. Flynn’s instructions.”

“Miss Harris,” Cristian added,

“There’s no need to overthink it. Isn’t this a good thing?”

The assets laid out were enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.

Eric had always been generous with women. First Hadley, now Linda.

A good thing?

Linda let out a faint, cold laugh. “Hang on. I need to make a call.” She wheeled herself to the side, picked up her phone, and dialed Eric.

This time, he picked up almost immediately.

“Linda, have Phillips and Cristian arrived?” he asked right away.

“Yes,” Linda answered with a forced smile. “Why did you suddenly decide to buy the villa?”

With his voice unusually deep, Eric responded, “I’ve just taken over the Scott family business. I’ll be very busy for a while, and I may not have time to look after you. I just want to make sure you’re taken care of.”

Really?
