The sardonic smile on Cecil's face made Linda suddenly realize that from the moment he had found
out that she was not Leona, he had looked at her with mockery and disdain in his eyes.
‘If...we had met each other for the first time under a different circumstance, would he still treat me like
this?’ she wondered bitterly.
She pursed her lips and looked down.
"I'm sorry, Mr.Bo.I jumped to conclusions."
After saying that, she bypassed the man to enter the gate.
But before she could, he grabbed her wrist.
Linda frowned.
Twice, she tried to tug her hand away, but to no avail.
Cecil pulled her in front of him and bored into her with his piercing gaze.
"Either my ears are damaged, or I just heard you say that I won't dare to announce the Ye family's
scam to the public."
At first, Linda kept struggling and trying to take a step back from him, but when she heard his words,
her heart stopped, and she froze in place.
‘‘He really overheard me just now” ' she thought in a panic.
Shaking her head frantically, she explained, "I was just saying that to comfort my father.Don't take it
seriously.I didn't mean it."
Cecil sneered, "How can I know that you're not saying this now to comfort me?"
"Mr.Bo, I know how powerful you are.There is nothing that you won't dare to do in Los City.But my old
father was worried.As his daughter, I had to say whatever I could to comfort him.Don't take it seriously,
please."
"And...what if I do?"
Hearing the ambiguous question, Linda bit her lip and finally raised her head to meet his eyes.
"What do you want?" she asked nervously.
Cecil smiled and looked at her with an unreadable gaze.
"What can you do for me?"
Linda's mind went blank.
There was actually nothing she could do for him.
She knew that he wouldn't want to sleep with a woman he didn't like, and she didn't want to sleep with
a man who didn't like her, either.
Not knowing how to answer him, she just lowered her head and pursed her lips.
Growing impatient, Cecil gave her wrist a small jerk and growled, "Don't act like you're dumb when I'm
talking to you, okay?"
"Mr.Bo, I don't know what you mean," Linda said shakily.
"What I mean?"
Cecil sneered.He raised his free hand and slowly caressed Linda's cheek with the back of his finger.
"Miss Ye, are you still a virgin?"
Hearing this, Linda immediately clenched her fists, digging her fingernails into her palms.
Unprecedented tension swept over her body because of the man's question.
‘How...How could he ask such a question?’ She blushed and trembled with embarrassment.
A tiny smirk of amusement tugged at the edge of Cecil's lips when he saw her reaction.
"Haven't you ever slept with a man?"
"No, never," Linda answered without skipping a beat.
Cecil's smile grew wider.
"In that case, why don't you sleep with me tonight? Since you look identical to Leona, I can pretend that
you're her.If you can serve me well in this regard, I'll be kind enough to let the Ye family go for your
sake."
Without meeting his eyes, Linda shook her head.
"You won't."
Cecil's eyebrows rose in curiosity.
"And what makes you so sure about that?"
Linda bit her lower lip.
After a few seconds, she raised her head, trying her best to maintain a neutral expression on her face.
"Mr.Bo, although you don't parade around in front of cameras, media outlets in Los City are always
reporting about you.You have never gotten into a scandal involving women.In other words, you are
basically the poster boy of abstinence.”
