I decided to stop locking and turned off my phone. I even cleared off my browsing history angrily
Mr. Webb's call came through at that moment. "I've looked into it, Ms. York. Mr. Jeremy Linden is a veteran shareholder of Linden Group. He's probably a distant relative of the Linden family who invested in Elijah's father's company." No wonder he insisted on involving himself when Elijah and I wanted to divorce.
Mr. Webb continued. "He's quite capable. He made his fortune early on before moving to Ercenia for other invements. He's been living there for many years and rarely comes back here."
Perplexed, I asked, "Why does he insist on seeing me if he rarely comes back here,
Mr. Webb passed before replying, "I'm not too sure about that. Perhaps he doesn't want to
to see Linden Group sutter because of the divorce case. His goal might be to convince reconcile with you."
I firmly said, "That's impossible. Doesn't he follow the news? Jocelyn is already pregnant

Mr. Webb replied helplessly. "This kind of thing doesn't matter much to successful people from his generation who made their fortune early. They've probably experienced marriage alliances back when they were young as well."

If you have his support, you might be able to get buck your rightful shares, or at least sell them at a good price."

Mr. Webb nodded. "You should go listen to what he has to say, but I can go with you as well, Ms. York
"Alright," Lagreed.
Mr. Webb relaxed. "Il my guess is correct, perhaps Mr. Jeremy Linden wil

Mr. Lewis left an address. I quickly got changed and hurried over to his school.
