NovelGoldChapter 938:
But as his eyes landed on someone ahead, his steps halted.
Just beyond the steps, near the edge of the flowerbed, stood Linda. Her eyes were wide, stricken with shock and
disbelief, as if the wind had been knocked out of her.
Ernest's expression hardened. He strode down the steps without hesitation and went straight to her, gripping her
wrist firmly.
“Let's talk. Outside.”
Still dazed, Linda allowed herself to be pulled along, her mind spinning and her heart pounding. She couldn't
speak—could barely breathe.
Then, suddenly, reality hit her like a slap. “Ernest! Let go of me!” she shouted, jerking back.
He stopped and turned to face her, his voice low but steady. “Calm down. Whatever it is you want to ask—
whatever answers you’re looking for—I'll give them.”
“Will you now?” Linda scoffed, her voice trembling. Her eyes brimmed with tears, and a bitter laugh escaped her
lips. “Now you're ready to talk?” she sneered. “After all the times you lookedin the eye and swore you

Ernest's brows furrowed, his silence heavy with tension.

Ernest was more confused than concerned. “How did you even find this place?”
Caught off guard, Linda’s eyes filled with even more tears. “Is that what you're worried about right now? Ernest,

“Apologize?” Linda’s response was incredulous as she wiped away her tears. “Do you think saying sorry will fix
everything? | want answers, Ernest! What's going on with you and Elissa? How did this happen? Did she lure you
in?”
“Linda!” Ernest's expression hardened, and his tone grew grave. “You shouldn’t speak about Elissa like that.
She's not involved.”
“Oh?” Linda scoffed, her laugh bitter. “So you're protecting her now? Claiming she’s unaware? She drew in my
partner, and yet she’s blameless?”
Overcwith emotion, Linda released Ernest and hurried toward the house. “I need to confront her myself to
see if she has any integrity left!”
“Wait, Linda.” Ernest caught her arm just in time.
He sighed deeply, shaking his head. “It'swho's at fault here, not Elissa. She’s blameless. I've wronged her.
She had Locke at such a young age. She's suffered too. Any anger you have should be directed at me.”
Linda’s shoulders shook as she cried uncontrollably.
