PopularNovelChapter 792: Linden had even entertained the thought that Daniela's disappearance would go unnoticed.
Yet, in this moment, he realized his misconception. A woman who had climbed to the CEO position of a top global firm must possess significant personal strength.

Though Linden was driven by desire, he valued his life above all. Desperately, Linden explained, “Ms. Harper, I assure you, I had no part in this. I wanted Nina. I was clueless about why Elyse dragged you here instead. Elyse is greedy, but I am not involved." Daniela's expression did not waver. She idly played with a knife, her lips curving into a mysterious, subtle smile. "Ms. Harper, what are you implying? Please, I'm telling the truth. Check my phone. It was Elyse, that deceitful woman, who couldn't locate Nina and substituted you because you were available. This wasn't my plan." Only in his underpants, Linden shivered as the cold air rushed in from the open window. Daniela had tied him to a chair.

Linden gave a frantic nod. Without a word, Daniela pulled out her phone and began to play back recordings of every conversation Linden had shared with Elyse and Natalie.
Linden's eyes bulged with realization as he faced Daniela "You've tela known everything all this time! Then why...?"
With a soft laugh, Daniela replied, "Why did I allow myself to be brought here today? I was curious to see whether you were behind the attempt on my life or if it was those two women."
A cold shiver ran through Linden. Stuttering, he insisted it wasn't me, I swear. Would never dare."
