?Chapter 1077:


    Harold’sposure shatteredpletely. Sobs wracked his body as all pretense of dignity abandoned him, leaving only raw desperation.


    “I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Please, just let me go!” Panic struck him as a memory surfaced. “Elva… she’s home! My brother took her there for me.”


    Tears streamed down his face as the words tumbled out. “I never meant to harm Elva. She’s my daughter too. I could never hurt her. I just thought… if I brought her home, Shari would have no choice but toe back as well.”


    “You’re using Elva as a weapon against Shari!” Fury twisted Linsey’s features as her jaw clenched tight with rage.


    She pulled back her hand and swiftly retrieved her phone, fingers flying across the screen as she typed a message to Collin.


    Within moments, Collin’s response appeared, confirming he would dispatch a team immediately to retrieve Elva safely from Harold’s residence.


    “You’re lower than scum! Mistreating your own wife and daughter!” Linsey put her phone away, anger still radiating from every pore as she continued her verbal assault. “That little girl is fighting for her life, needing expensive treatments that could save her. Instead of working to provide for your daughter’s medical care, you sabotage Shari’s efforts to earn money and humiliate her right in front of Elva!”


    Linsey’s breath came in sharp bursts as she spoke, her chest rising and falling with the intensity of her rage toward Harold’s vile actions. Without meeting Shari’s eyes, she shuddered to think how much more torment Shari and Elva would have suffered in silence.


    And without Collin’s help, would she have ever found the strength to deliver proper justice for Shari?


    Her teeth clenched behind closed lips, while tears of grief and fury gathered in her eyes, threatening to spill.


    “You did what needed to be done, and every one of us stands behind you! Rest assured, we won’t call 911. Even if the police came here, we won’t breathe a word to them.”


    “Exactly! Scum like him earned every bit of punishment he got!” Each witness to Linsey’s confrontation with Harold voiced their support with passionate conviction.

    Harold burned with the desire to unleash a string of curses at these hypocrites. Obviously, they were just kissing up to Linsey because she was engaged to the founder of CR Corporation. What a bunch of shameless bootlickers!


    Linsey kept her eyes downcast, offering only a polite “thank you” rather than encouraging their enthusiasm.


    The fruit knife ttered as she tossed it aside carelessly, then turned on her heel and walked out with purposeful strides.


    Behind her, the strangers continued their animated discussion about her connection to Collin. She walked in silence, their chatter stirring an ufortable knot in her stomach.


    The moment she cleared the ward’s threshold, someone grabbed her arm and yanked her aside.


    “Linsey!” Blinking in confusion, Linsey turned to find Dolores approaching with urgent concern written across her face. “Jeffery just filled me in on what happened at the restaurant. Tell me, did you manage to find Shari’s daughter?”


    Dolores had only met Shari a handful of times years ago, so she barely knew the woman personally.
