Chapter 163

With Jacob’s backing, the Stewart family weren’t facing ruin anytime soon.

Suddenly, Shelia and Jacob were the stars, showered with compliments and attention.

“Lindsey, didn’t you bring your boyfriend?” Shelia asked, her smile a challenge.

Shelia’s words triggered a memory for those around her.

“Right, isn’t Lindsey engaged? Why didn’t she bring her fiancé here with her?”

“I recall the man who was engaged to Lindsey appeared wealthy.

Probably from some well-off family, I think.

”

“The two daughters of the Stewart family are set to marry into some rich families.

Quite a bright future ahead for them.

”

Listening to these conversations, Shelia’s joy grew.

She was determined to humiliate Lindsey today.

“You’re all mistaken.

” Shelia scanned the crowd and declared, “The man who got engaged to Lindsey was paid to act as her fiancé.

Her ex -boyfriend’s a notorious womanizer.

You can’t blame her for trying to pull one over on everyone.

Lindsey, you might want to clarify things for everyone to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

What’s your take on that?”

The crowd looked at Lindsey with scorn.

“What? So, Lindsey hired a man to play the part of a wealthy man at the engagement party? What possessed her to do something like that?

She’s just overly obsessed with appearances.

No wonder she fell out with her family.

If she were my daughter, I’d give her a couple of good slaps.

”

“But Shelia managed to secure the Perry family’s son, a_ true gentleman.

”

Listening to these discussions, a gentle smile graced Lindsey’s Lips.

She didn’t get mad.

But her reaction triggered anger in Shelia, who felt like her efforts were in vain.

“Yes, given that you all know my ex-boyfriend’s a jerk, why would you expect me to be engaged to him?” Lindsey scanned the room and spoke calmly but promptly turned the situation around.

Kendra explained, “Lindsey, we only learned of this at your engagement party.

There was still a serene grin at the edges of Lindsey’s lips.

“Is that so? I remember that Chayce went to see you before the engagement party and even wanted to molest you, didn’t he? He claimed he had too much to drink that night, but I have a question for everyone.

Which husband would do something with his mother-in-law just because he was drunk? Doesn’t this say a lot about his character? Yet, Kendra, you never mentioned it to me and went ahead with the engagement party as planned.

Are you daring to claim that this wasn’t intentional on your part?”

Kendra’s face paled.

She had aimed to embarrass Lindsey, but now she was entangled in the mess.

All eyes shifted to Kendra.

Lindsey’s words held some weight.

In situations like this, Kendra should have questioned Chayce’s moral character.

If Kendra genuinely had Lindsey’s best interests at heart, she should have looked into Chayce to some extent.

Considering Lindsey uncovered Chayce’s true nature, how could Kendra have missed it?

It seemed clear Kendra chose not to delve into Chayce’s background.
