Chapter 567
Daniel was unwilling to let Gwen be embarrassed in front of so many people within the organization, which put Linus in a very dangerous position. Looking troubled, Daniel said, "Linus, I don't want to force you into anything, but Gwennie has been set on you for many years. I can't bear to see her like this. Can't you just... play along? Gwennie is a stubborn girl, and I'm afraid she might do something stupid."
Linus remained silent, pressing his tongue against the top of his mouth.
He did not want to agree to what Daniel was proposing.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
If Daniel were to assign him a dangerous mission right this instant where he could potentially lose his life, Linus would not hesitate for even a second. However, on this matter, he would not relent.
“Linus, consider it... Perhaps you could..."
"Mr. Zimmer, I believe Gwen will find the right person for her. I can't agree to this."
If he was going to refuse anyway, he might as well be decisive about it. Being hesitant would not teach Gwen to let go. For his and Gwen's sake, it was better to rip the bandage off quickly.
Daniel was stunned by Linus's firm rejection. He did not expect Linus to refuse even when he personally intervened.
"Never mind... I knew that it'd be impossible even if I talked to you myself. I know how stubborn you are. Once you've made up your mind about something, you'll never turn back."
“Mr. Zimmer, I'm truly sorry, but I really..." Linus lowered his head. The emotions on his face were hard to read. He continued, "I really can't do this. I can't lie to Gwen, or she'll only be more heartbroken."
"You're right." Daniel loosened his grip and leaned back on the couch. He said, "Since you find it too difficult, I won't force you. I'll talk to Gwen myself."
"Thank you..."
"No need to thank me, Linus. Go on now. It's the celebration banquet today. Get some rest and recharge yourself." "Yes, sir."
When Gwen saw her grandpa come down, she rushed toward him anxiously.
"Grandpa, what did Linus say?"
Gwen was out of breath after just a few steps. Daniel could not bear to see her like this, so he tried to soothe her emotions first.
"Why are you in such a hurry? It wouldn't have made a difference even if you were to take your time."
Gwen wanted to approach him
calmly, but deep down, her feelings were far from calm. Just the thought of Linus ignited a sense of urgency within her, and she was eager to

"Grandpa, you know how I feel about Linus. Otherwise, I wouldn't

really have no other way..."
"Gwen, I know you went through a lot when you were younger, and it was Linus who protected you. But you have to understand that Linus only sees you as a little sister. He can't stand bullies and those who prey on the weak, and that's why he's been so caring toward you."
If it were not for Linus back then, Gwen would have perished in that harsh environment.
"Grandpa, you know that's not what I want to hear..."
Gwen suppressed her rage as she hated being lectured by others. What she felt for Linus was not love.
She knew exactly what her feelings for Linus were, and she did not need anyone else to tell her that. Meanwhile, Daniel looked at her with unrelenting sorrow.
