Chapter 128

“Let them know I only have my mother, and she’s overseas right now.

Kindly ask them to leave.

”

Lindsey ended the call and resumed work, but a mere two minutes later, her phone rang again.

“Lindsey, they insisted they won’t leave until you come out to meet them.

”

Lindsey tightened her grip into fists.

She grabbed the glass of water from the table and gulped it down.

After getting her emotions in check, she went to the first floor.

As soon she stepped out of the elevator, she spotted Benny and Kendra scanning the area near the reception desk.

“What are you doing here?” Lindsey approached and inquired with a straight face.

“Lindsey, your father and I heard you’re employed here, so we decided to pay you a visit.

” Kendra moved closer, gently taking hold of Lindsey’s arm, and asked with feigned concern, “Are you busy with work? Don’t overexert yourself.

Look after yourself.

”

To others, she appeared as nothing more than a devoted mother who cherished her daughter deeply.

It was only Lindsey who truly understood her real nature.

She swiftly withdrew her arm from Kendra’s grasp and impatiently quipped, “You might as well cut to the chase.

What do you want?”

“Lindsey, Kendra’s caring about you, but what’s with the attitude?!

You’re lacking even the most basic courtesy.

What’s got you acting so impolite?”

Observing Lindsey’s continued rudeness towards Kendra, Benny quickly grew agitated.

“No worries, Benny.

Lindsey has some misconceptions about me.

I can understand it.

” Kendra tugged on Benny’s arm and pondered, “What matters most right now is preventing her from making further mistakes.

”

Kendra signaled to Benny to cut to the chase.

Benny agreed with Kendra’s point.

He wasn’t sure how Lindsey might misuse the money, so it might be best for him to assist in safeguarding it for now.

He held back his frustration and fixed his gaze on Lindsey, inquiring, “I heard the guy at your engagement party was paid by you.

You’re not seriously considering marrying him, are you?”

Lindsey’s expression turned somber.

Since her father already knew, there was no point in concealing it anymore.

Moreover, she had made it clear to Domenic.

It was time to set the record straight with her father.

“You are right.

”

When Lindsey confessed, any lingering hope in Benny’s heart vanished.
