Even though she was technically from the town, she rarely interacted with them. 

But… 

Her gaze suddenly landed on an old woman sweeping the ground. 

For some reason, she felt like she’d seen her before. 

“Ms. Spencer, what’s wrong?” 

10 free calm 

Emma had exchanged a few words with the people at the mourning hall. When she turned around, she saw Alice staring ahead. 

So, she followed her line of sight. 

Then, she frowned. 

“Strange. I don’t remember this person at all. Since when did the town have someone like her?” 

Emma didn’t think too much of it–she’d been away studying for years, and the town had changed a lot. 

Besides, that old woman left quickly, as if she was only here to help out temporarily. 

Alice slowly withdrew her gaze. 

A young woman’s face surfaced in her mind. 

The Spencers‘ residence. 

That night, Linda was discharged from the hospital. 

Forced to leave. 

Because the police needed to question her. 

Les‘ case had already been filed for investigation. 

She was considered one of the witnesses and had to be interviewed. 

Of course, the hospital wouldn’t lie about her condition. Once they confirmed she wasn’t seriously ill, they discharged her. 

Then, she was taken to the police station. 

She didn’t get out until late at night. 

The police personally escorted her home.

She opened the door and stood at the moment she saw her five brothers, her eyes turned red. 

Right now, she really wanted to cry. 

But no sound came out–only tears streaming down her face. 

Gary wanted to say something, but when the words reached his lips, nothing came out. 

Then, Linda dropped to her knees with a thud. 

All five brothers jolted, immediately standing up. 

“I know I dragged all of you down this time. 

“Actually, when I found out I wasn’t the real heiress, I kept thinking about how I could stay–how I could keep being with my brothers. 

“So, I kept working hard, and harder. As long as I could help, I would give everything. 

“Les… I mistook him for someone else. 

“This is my fault. I even caused the Spencers to lose all your liquid funds. 

“Brothers, go ahead and hit me if you want.” 

Her five brothers didn’t speak. 

But the way they looked at her was no longer as cold as before. 

Linda sobbed and continued. 

“Today … I actually planned to come back and pack my things. 

“I know I’m not part of the Spencers. I’m not worthy of taking anything. 

“But I’m begging you–on the fact that we lived together for more than 20 years–please let me take a few outfits, at least.” 

She wiped her tears. 

“I’ll also find a way to help you resolve this crisis. 

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I never expected it to turn out like this.”

Boston couldn’t stand it anymore. He walked over and helped her up. 

“It’s such a small thing. Why are you making such a scene about leaving?” 

To be honest, he did resent Linda a little. 

When he first learned she was connected to the Reeses, he’d been even more upset.

But he hadn’t expected Linda to have been kept in the dark the whole time–she didn’t know what was going on between Les and Clayton at all. 

Now, he felt relieved. 

A little sister he’d watched grow up–how could she possibly have a filthy mind? 

Charlie turned his face away and said nothing. He didn’t object either–he simply accepted it. 

He accepted forgiving Linda. 

Only Scott snorted coldly and went upstairs to his room. 

The other four said nothing more and let Linda stay. 

Linda finally exhaled, returned to her room, and rested. 

The moment she went in, she received a phone call. 

“So, you finally made it back to the Spencers. Congratulations.” 

It was an unfamiliar number, and the voice was unfamiliar too. 

She instantly became alert. “Who are you?” 

“Who I am isn’t important. What matters is that your parents have been released. Do you miss them?” 

Linda froze. 

Weren’t her parents overseas at a research institute? 

But she quickly reacted. 

Those weren’t her parents–those were Alice’s parents. 

Her real parents were hill town farmers, and supposedly they had committed crimes and gone to prison. 

When Alice first came back, she’d looked into it. 

Because it involved her reputation, she hadn’t publicized it. 

But this person said… they were out?

Her nerves snapped tight immediately. 

Les had already destroyed her reputation. 

If convicted–ex–con parents showed up too, she’d be completely finished in Mapleford. 

“What do you want?”

“I know what you care about. If you still want to keep the life you have now, do exactly what I say.” 

Linda’s guard shot up. “Why should I listen to you?” 

“In a moment, a gift will arrive. You’ll still be the Spencers‘ most beloved little sister. 

“This is my welcome present.” 

With that, the call ended. 

The next second, there was a knock on her bedroom door. 

When she opened it, it was Charlie. 

Charlie’s face was full of excitement and disbelief. 

“Linda–did you really bring in 500 million in funding for me? How did you do it? Why didn’t you say so earlier?” 

Linda was so blown away that she was speechless for a long time.
