NovelTrueChapter 1666:
The compulsion to flee had overwhelmed all else, driving her to abandon the hotel with such precipitous haste
that she hadn't even left a whispered explanation for Ernest.
The bitter irony that now twisted like a knife in her gut was that years later, Ernest would confess that during
those sfateful hours when her world had imploded... he had unknowingly shared an intimate encounter with
Elissa! The parallel violation of their trust and bodies had occurred simultaneously under the sroof,
orchestrated by unseen hands!
The horrifying revelation yanked Linda's thoughts back to the present moment with brutal force.
Linda leveled a penetrating gaze at Ernest, her voice wavering between accusation and desperate hope.

“That night, my violation—was | merely collateral damage in someone's vendetta against you?”
“Yes.” Ernest expelled a heavy breath as his shoulders sagged with the weight of guilt, his nod barely
perceptible.
The ugly truth he had concealed for years now stood exposed between them, raw and festering.
“It was...” Linda's eyes flooded with crimson as blood vessels burst from emotion, her voice hollowed by the
revelation. “Your business rivals who orchestrated our destruction?”
“Yes.” Ernest confirmed with a hesitant nod, as though the simple gesture might shatter what remained of her
composure.
That fateful evening, a crucial meeting with MK Capital's executive board had been meticulously arranged—a
potential partnership worth millions.
Ernest's competitors had resorted to the darkest tactics of corporate espionage, deploying pharmaceuticals
rather than legitimate business strategies to ensure his absence from negotiations.
The meeting represented a singular, unrepeatable opportunity to court MK Capital's notoriously selective
leadership. Ernest’s unexplained absence would inevitably convey disrespect, effectively transferring the
lucrative opportunity directly into his competitors’ waiting hands.

In the end, their machinations succeeded with devastating precision. Ernest’s conspicuous absence from the
negotiating table had cost him the partnership, diverting millions to undeserving hands.
What these faceless corporate saboteurs could never have anticipated was how their calculated schwould
spiral beyond their intentions, leaving a trail of broken lives in its wake, including an innocent newlywed couple
celebrating their union.
Of course, even had they been confronted with the collateral damage they'd inflicted, such ruthless operatives
would have regarded human suffering as an acceptable cost of business advancement.
The sordid tapestry of manipulation and chance now lay fully unraveled before them—the complete, unvarnished
truth exposed at last.
As Ernest's final word hung in the air, the atmosphere crystallized around them—dense, oppressive silence
entombing the three figures as though they had been flash-frozen in the middle of this terrible revelation.
Eric's gaze traveled deliberately from Ernest's haggard face to Linda’s devastated one, absorbing both
expressions before averting his eyes, the weight of unspoken knowledge pulling his shoulders downward.
