Chapter 523: Linda exposed

Both Charles and Linda rushed downstairs and headed to the venue. The moment they saw Karl standing across the aisle, both heaved a sigh of relief.

Linda had almost forgotten to breathe when she couldn’t reach Karl. However, all her worries flew away when she watched him stand in front of her eyes.

Composing herself, she looked at her grandfather who too seemed at ease after witnessing Karl. Reaching out his hand Charles motioned Linda to take it and soon the butler announced the bridge entry.

Everyone’s eyes drew to them as they watched Linda and Charles make their way towards the groom.

Linda was smiling to herself as her happiness had no limits. As soon as she stood in front of Karl, her lips stretched wide when Karl extended his hand to hold hers.

Smiling at him, Charles released Linda’s hand and stepped aside, retreating to his seat on the first row, along with the guest.

Linda was over the moon. She couldn’t believe she was finally getting married to her dream man, however, there was this lingering feeling in her heart that stopped her from fully expressing herself.

With her eyes fixated on Karl, they soon walked a few steps and stood in front of the priest.

Linda wanted to ask Karl why his phone was unreachable and how worried she was because of his unresponsiveness. But she let that thought away and looked forward to the wedding.

For her watching Karl standing in front of her was enough. All they had to do was to say ’ I do’

Linda was busy dreaming while the priest recited the prayers in the background when suddenly Karl stopped him midway

Snapping out of her trance, Linda stared at Karl confusingly.

"Karl, what happened" she asked, scanning her eyes secretly all across the crowd, but the reaction answer she got in return left her speechless.

"Before we continue the wedding, there is something I would like to gift Linda" Linda gaped upon hearing his words but watched the people whisper around her she passed them an awkward smile.

"Karl, you can give it to me later. Let’s finish our wedding vows first" Linda muttered holding onto his hand tightly. Don’t know why Karl’s sudden request made her feel uneasy. However, that didn’t stop him.

Letting go of her hand Karl turned to face the guest and said," I am sorry for the interruption, but there is something I would like to present"

Charles’s face paled and he stood up from his seat, ready to rush to Karl’s side when suddenly a voice stopped him on his steps and his eyes flung into the direction of the projector which stood blank at the corner inside the venue.

Blow drew from her body as Linda stood shocked when a video of hers talking to her doctor played on the white screen grabbing everyone’s attention.

It was the same video that Ryan received the other day. However, the video that played next left Charles stunned.

"Never let Ryan find that his child is dead. You have to keep this truth from everyone, even from Karl until I get those shares from my grandfather. He won’t give me a penny unless I marry someone"

Linda stood there motionless watching her sins getting exposed publicly. It was then she understood the reason behind Karl’s disappearance.

As the reality struck her Linda snapped out of her shock and quickly began to whitewash herself.

"It’s a lie... this video is a lie" Linda yelled in front of everyone, but when nobody paid heed to words, she rushed to Charles.

"Grandpa, trust me. This is all a lie" Linda tried to rectify however Charles didn’t react and remained shocked after whatever he witnessed with his own eyes.

He couldn’t believe whatever he saw. Linda faked everything just to get those shares. She stooped so low that she didn’t care about faking her father’s child.

Charles had thought Linda was still innocent to never realized the difference between good and bad. And the day she decided to marry that useless Ryan, he did everything to separate them.

Charles thought by giving her an ultimatum, she would finally give up. But he was wrong, instead of seeing the truth, she schemed everything.

As the realization drew him Charles understood how foolish he was to trust in someone who was never faithful to him.

"If you still don’t believe this, then we have the doctor and Ryan to confirm the truth. They are here with us" Karl stated pointing in the direction of Ryan and the Doctor before seizing Charles’s attention towards them, however, the old man simply chuckled in dismay.

Charles was betrayed by his own granddaughter, the one who grew up in front of him.

"There is no need for enough proof. I have already seen and heard everything" Charles could now see how much of a fool he has been to get trapped in Linda’s lies blindly.

But now, everything was clear and there was no need for more explanation.

Taking a moment, Charles then turned to face Karl and apologized. " I know it’s useless but forgive me. I am equally involved in her sin and there is no way for me to rectify my mistake" Charles had a change of heart and he realized how wrong he was to think he would use Karl as a weapon against the Knight.

Karl didn’t say a word but when his eyes moved to see Linda, he watched her glare at him furiously.

Linda couldn’t stand what was happening around her. There was no way Karl would expose her like this and she would lose everything she planned for so long.

As her anger reached the limit, she marched towards Karl to slap him for fooling her into his lies, however before she could reach him, Charles stopped her by slapping her right onto her face.

SLAP!

Linda stumbled on her feet, shocked by the slap she received from Charles.

"I should have known a woman like you should never be trusted. So from this day on I disown you. You are nothing to me and the shares you were trying to steal by cheating will be donated to charity" Charles declared leaving everyone shocked.

"No.. no you can’t do this to me, Grandpa. I am your only heir, how can you disown me" Linda snapped out of her madness and approached Charles. He couldn’t just disown her. She wanted the money to live a lavish life. How can he just give her right to anyone else?

Linda tried to pursue Charles but the disgrace in his eyes gave her the answer.

"You are no one to me" Charles declared and left the venue without sparing another glance at Linda as she slumped down on the floor facing the consequences of her sins.
