Chapter 1012
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Despite their efforts, the reporters persisted, eager for more answers.
In the tense atmosphere, the sound of an engine roaring cut through the air.
All heads turned instantly towards the source of the noise.
A flashy red Lamborghini pulled up outside the recording hall, instantly grabbing everyoneâs attention.
When the door swung open, a stylish man sporting black sunglasses emerged-it was Mercer!
âHey, itâs Mercer! Whatâs he doing here? Is he a guest on the show?â
Reporters swarmed towards Mercer in a flurry of excitement.
Seated in the passenger seat was a commanding figure.
As he stepped out of the car, his tall frame and confident demeanor drew all eyes to him.
Standing tall, with a regal posture and a strikingly handsome face, the man had deep, mysterious eyes and sharp jawline, which exuded an undeniable charm under the sunlight, making him impossible to ignore.
Who was this man? The reporters exchanged puzzled glances, but their quest for the next big headline drove them forward, cameras at the ready as they closed in on Mercer.
Lindseyâs eyes darted to the side, catching sight of Domenic amidst the bustling crowd.
A sudden shock rooted her to the spot, as if lightning had struck her.
âLinds, whatâs wrong?â Sumner asked with a concerned frown, following Lindseyâs eyes.
His eyes widened in surprise.
Why was Lindseyâs boyfriend here?
âLinds, whyâs your boyfriend with Mercer?â
Sumnerâs curiosity got the better of him.
In a soft voice, Lindsey replied, âEx-boyfriend.
We broke up.â
But her gaze eyes fixed on Domenic, distant yet unmistakable.
As if sensing her stare, he turned, their eyes locking across the bustling crowd.
For a moment, time seemed to stand still as they held their gazes.
Lindsey gazed at Domenic and curled her lips into a bitter smile.
She recalled their first encounter at Champs Le Bar, where Domenic and Mercer had claimed they were meeting clients on behalf of Domenicâs boss.
It was all lies.
The memory made Lindseyâs hands clench into fists, the pain throbbing anew in her heart.
âLindsâ¦â Nancy noticed Lindseyâs discomfort.
Recalling the stories Lindsey had shared about Domenic, she gently pulled at her sleeve.
âAre you okay?â
That question pulled Lindsey back from her anguish.
She forced a smile, shaking her head as she tried to mask her true feelings.
As she cast a gentle glance at Sumner, she murmured, âI donât understand why heâs with Mercer.
He never mentioned their relationship before.â
After speaking, Lindsey moved to push Sumnerâs wheelchair.
Sumner looked at Domenic with disapproval, indignant over his unreliability.
