Chapter 307 A Dispensable Puppet
Chapter 307 A Dispensable Puppet
Charles Mu didn't see anything wrong, so he didn't say anything. But he was still suspicious of her
intentions. He could sense that this meal was more than just getting together to eat. However, it would
be rash for him to make a move. Haste would accomplish nothing.
Lisa Xia ate quite a few mouthfuls and then got ready to leave with Charles. She thought that Charles
would treat her as he did before, so she held his arms as she naturally would. But Charles shook her
hands off unconsciously.
Petrified by his gesture, Lisa was at a loss.
The crowd of onlookers cast curious glances at what just happened.
Wasn't Young Master Mu here to pick up his fiancée?
How come he brushed her off like that? It didn't make any sense!
The crowd was whispering, but none dared speak out loud, afraid of being heard.
Charles didn't mean to do it, since even he was unable to explain why he acted that way. Maybe he just
hated to be intimate with Lisa.
Charles realized at that moment that his feelings wouldn't change even if Lisa looked like Linda.
Linda was unique. Without her character and personality, her looks wouldn't suffice. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
He missed Linda so much at that particular moment. He missed her smiles and her glances.
The woman by his side was incapable of doing the little things that Linda used to.
Noticing the startled Lisa, Charles became irritated and gave a perfunctory excuse. He said that he was
under the weather, and it would do her good by keeping her distance with him because she might get
infected given her weak condition.
Lisa nodded her head upon hearing his response and followed him obediently.
Any sensible man could tell Charles's intentions. His rejection had a deeper meaning than just having a
cold.
In a dark room of the Xinyi Hotel
A gloomy set of eyes stared outside the window until Charles drove away with his car. He kept his sight
outside, staring blankly now, Gazing for a very long time…
Charles Mu… 'You would pay for what you had done. Linda's death was only the beginning. I'll make
sure that you enjoy this ride...'
After a while, someone knocked at the door. This time, the door was unlocked, so the person went
straight inside.
"Master Adam, Lisa was telling the truth. It seemed that Charles had lost interest in her. He cared less
about her. Maybe he had noticed something. Just now, Lisa tried to hold his arms as they left, but
Charles shook her off."
"Shook her off? Did he say anything?" Adam Huo turned his head, had a sip of tea, and asked.
The strong tea tasted bitter.
"Charles said that he had caught a cold. Since Lisa had just gone through a miscarriage, she would
easily be infected. But in my eyes, Charles was perfectly healthy. He was clearly making an excuse."
Upon hearing this, Adam wrinkled his brows and nodded his head, "Go downstairs, and have someone
transfer the ownership of the hotel to another person. Make sure to leave no traces and destroy the
past records. Do not let Charles find out that this hotel actually belongs to me."
Charles had smelled something off about Lisa's identity, or he wouldn't have acted like this.
"Who should I transfer this hotel to?" He asked, not daring to make the decision on his own.
Adam thought for a while and put on a smile, "Hmm… Transfer it to Amy."
The certificate of property ownership for half of the Qi clan's properties was already in his hand. Adam
wasn't bothered to deal with it now, so he was delaying it. Anyhow, it wouldn't disappear before his
eyes.
This hotel would serve as a rather generous favor for Amy, given that she gave half of her family's
wealth to him.
When Charles looked into this hotel, Amy would be all he could find. He wouldn't worry if anything bad
would happen to the Qi clan. That was none of his business.
Adam always took pity on Amy, a pathetic woman in his eyes.
Amy had loved Charles for more than a decade. What was the point of holding on to unrequited love if
that person could never be yours?
Adam knew Charles. He wouldn't spare a glance for Amy when she was young, so he certainly
wouldn't change his mind now.
Moreover, anyone who was in love with Charles was Adam's enemy! He wouldn't tolerate it.
It would be fun to witness Amy being tortured by Charles, her dearest love in the world...
If Charles had known that the woman he loved most had died in the hands of Amy, what would he do?
Adam couldn't wait to see his reaction, the thought of it excited him.
Lisa was surprised that Charles left again without saying anything soon after they arrived at the Villa.
She was overwhelmed with the extreme feelings of desperation.
But Charles remembered to send someone to hand over her phone.
"My lady, this is your phone. Young Master Wu ordered me to give it to you."
Immersed in her thoughts, Lisa took it and asked, "Did Young Master say anything else?"
The servant lowered her head and said, "Young Master wishes for Lady Linda to take good care of her
phone, so it won't be lost again."
"All right, you may leave."
The message with the address had already been deleted by Lisa. The phone now only had some spam
messages. Charles couldn't have found anything on it.
However, it didn't occur to Lisa that Charles would go as far as to check her location and rush to Xinyi
Hotel to find out who she was meeting!
But Charles still left without saying a word.
Saddened by this, she still tried to comfort herself by thinking that Charles was just too busy with his
work.
Also, despite his busy schedule, he still took time to pick her up at the hotel, so he definitely still cared
for her!
Lisa tried to convince herself that Charles was tied up with business stuff. That was why he had
overlooked her and didn't come home for a whole week.
Maybe she was getting paranoid. Now, she was not sure if she should continue what Adam had told
her to do, or if she should stay still and consider her own interests first. After all, she would be naive to
believe that Adam treated her with sincere intentions. She was just a dispensable puppet at his will.
After returning to the company, Charles kept quiet. Paul knew that he was waiting for information. The
WSS organization had conducted a quick research and sent over the information as fast as they could.
"Young Master, they found that the owner of Xinyi Hotel is Amy."
