Chapter 121

This was her vulnerability, a secret she kept locked within her heart.

She feared Domenic would judge her if he ever found out.

Contemplating this scenario, Lindsey’s fragile complexion grew pale.

Upon hearing Shelia’s words, Domenic’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He remembered the night he and Lindsey had been intimate.

It was clear that it was her first time.

Following that incident, he had his associates watch over Lindsey but didn’t observe her getting too close to other men.

So, the night Shelia brought up was when he had been with Lindsey.

“What? Are you ashamed of your actions but can’t stand others mentioning it? You have lost the right to play the innocent!”

Shelia’s confidence grew as she saw Domenic’s interest.

She Looked at Lindsey with scorn.

“It was because of your-“

Lindsey couldn’t control her trembling and came close to revealing what had occurred that day.

If it hadn’t been for Kendra’s scheme, how could she have contemplated giving her first time to a stranger?

They may have taken something precious from her but also sought to shame her on moral grounds.

How could they?

But Lindsey stopped herself.

Admitting to what happened would also mean confessing she once spent a night with a man.

No one would believe she hadn’t consented.

What would Domenic think of her then? Lindsey didn’t want him to perceive her in that way.

She straightened her posture and drew a deep breath to regain her composure.

“Shelia Stewart, no matter what, I’m not like your mother.

She cheated on her husband with a younger man and is now expecting his child.

”

“Lindsey, how dare you!” Shelia retorted with a scoff.

“As the saying goes, just like mother, like daughter.

Are you really any different? You put on an act of purity, but behind closed doors, you’re nothing but a shameless bitch!”

Lindsey’s words hit a nerve with Shelia, dredging up memories of her past in college.

She even pondered whether Lindsey had been aware of her past.

Shelia suddenly felt a pang of guilt, and her confidence faltered.

Olivia, her lunch companion, was also a fellow actress.

If Olivia were to let these words slip and Jacob got wind of them, it could spell trouble!

“Lindsey, if you don’t stop defaming my mother and me, I’ll make you regret it!” Shelia reddened with rage.

She yearned to charge forward and give Lindsey a stinging slap across the face!

Lindsey stood her ground, unafraid, with a defiant smile.

“Go ahead.
