Chapter 178

Jacob’s undertone was obvious: Lindsey was only an agent in the entertainment industry, while he, the vice president of Ray Films, held some clout in the field.

Lindsey was well aware of what needed to be done.

She flashed a smile and replied, “If Mr.

Perry asks, I’ll consider it a favor.

But Mr.

Perry, I’d appreciate it if you could look out for your girlfriend and discourage her from causing any more problems for me.

You know, if she continues to create issues on your behalf, it might end up reflecting poorly on your reputation.

”

With that, Lindsey and Domenic headed into the arena, leaving Shelia and Jacob behind without a backward glance.

Jacob’s expression turned icy.

He turned to Shelia, discontented.

“Try to stay out of trouble.

”

Unconvinced, Shelia protested, “Don’t take her words seriously.

She’s sowing discord.

”

But Jacob’s stern look silenced her.

She retreated, muttering, “Fine, I get it.

”

Still, she couldn’t help but shoot a glare in Lindsey’s direction.

Once inside the arena, Lindsey released Domenic’s arm and offered him a regretful look.

“I’m sorry, Mr.

Walsh.

This mess is my fault.

”

Domenic paused and faced Lindsey.

“Why would you think that?”

“Just now, Shelia made that comment to get under my skin…”

Lindsey was still fuming over Shelia’s earlier jab, calling him a failure.

Dominic offered a slight smile, his thin lips curving as he ran his fingers through Lindsey’s hair.

“I’m your man, after all.

Your words are the ones I listen to.

I don’t bother with what others have to say.

”

Lindsey’s eyes grew wide, struck by her own words.

She had claimed him as her man without a thought…

A blush crept up to her ears.

“I meant to say…”

Before Lindsey could finish, Dominic gently grasped her hand.

His smile was soft as he said, “You’ve already put Shelia in her place swiftly.

That’s enough for me.

Now, let’s focus on what’s next.

If we don’t hurry, you’ll be late for the competition.

”

Lindsey glanced at the clock.

“You’re right.

” With that, she dashed off towards the area for post-game preparation.

Glancing back at Dominic, she called out, “Mr.

Walsh, when I’m done, I’ll be looking for you in the stands!”

The main event of the competition was an obstacle course challenge.

Competitors had to guide their horses over a range of obstacles scattered throughout the course.

These obstacles varied in height and complexity, all intricately decorated.
