Chapter 46: Congratulations
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
David shouted at Linda, placing his hands over his head. His eyes were bloodshot and were shifty as his legs were fidgeting and he looked really stressed.
Talia was herself a little scared to be alone with them. She turned to look at the door and was relieved to see Arthur still standing by the door.
Linda was still holding her arm and David was in deep thoughts and Talia used the distraction of those two to get her purse and took a step back.
"Talia... You are Talia Brunton, the heiress of Northern Star, aren’t you?" David asked and his eyes looked a lot tired.
"What? Impossible!" Linda cried.
How is this possible? The one who always looked dead in the eyes and has no redeeming qualities is an heiress? Come on!
"She is...! She is. A friend on mine showed her picture when she was young. And Talia is not a very common name. Her name ’Talia’ and those purplish blue eyes... She is Talia Brunton," David looked at Talia and this time there was clarity in his eyes.
He knew! He always doubted it. But she never let any doubts arise and never showed herself to be even related to Esteria. And he believed her.
How is this possible? How could she lie so well??
How could he have let go of this goose that lays golden eggs. All for that Linda?
