Chapter 240

Jayleen felt a pang of embarrassment and shock; her guarded secret about her education lay exposed.

How did Lindsey come about it?

Though perturbed, Jayleen maintained a serene smile.

“Lindsey, you’ve outshone me this time.

The new eclipsing the old.

I foresee a brighter path for you!”

With a serene smile, Lindsey opted for silence.

Amidst the impasse, Vincent stepped in, breaking the tension.

“Truth unfurled now.

Selah’s integrity stands.

Time’s precious.

Let’s not waste time on such.

Let the party commence!”

When it was established that Selah was innocent, Vincent felt at last at ease.

He had a happy face now and appeared healthy and robust.

Amidst the guests’ cheers, Vincent and Paige delivered succinct gratitude speeches, ushering in the dinner amidst a romantic, candlelit ambiance.

Adjusting her composure, Jayleen engaged with the tycoons.

Mid-conversation, a waiter approached, nodding at Jayleen.

“Are you Miss Jayleen Archer?”

“Yes, that’s me.

”

“Mr.

Lopez didn’t extend an invite and, due to the recent commotion, requests your departure.

”

The nearby tycoons glanced at Jayleen, stunned.

Her face paled as she stuttered, “Inform Mr.

Lopez I’m here with Miss Chase.

”

“Apologies, but Mr.

Lopez insists on invited guests only.

So you and Miss Kristy Chase must leave.

”

Hearing about Jayleen and Kristy’s uninvited status and their subsequent expulsion, the tycoons left without a word.

With a fleeting glance at Vincent, Jayleen gritted her teeth, leading Kristy out of the party.

Meanwhile, Arturo approached Vincent with a nod.

“Good evening, Mr.

Lopez.

I’ve come uninvited.

Please forgive my intrusion.

”

Vincent beamed.

“Good evening, Mr.

Yates.

Delighted to have you! Had I known of your presence in Morcastle, an invitation would’ve been dispatched.

After a brief exchange, Arturo walked aside and dialed a number.

Domenic had just changed into a custom suit and tie in the office.

His good looks and lofty stature reflected in the mirror.

With grace and nobility, he fastened the blue diamond collar clip onto his collar.

Just as he was ready to head out, his phone rang.

He answered it, arching his eyebrows a Little.

“The issue’s resolved.

Don’t worry,” Arturo reassured, casting a glance around.

“Appreciate it.

”

Domenic’s curt gratitude halted Arturo’s words midstream.

“You owe no gratitude.

I have my own purpose, assisting you incidentally.

Despite your miles away, your concern for Lindsey remains, Domenic…”

“I have something to deal with.

Bye!” Still, Lindsey had Domenic fuming.

Before Arturo could say anything more, he hung up the phone.

Arturo shrugged, bemused.

Suddenly, his countenance froze.

Finally, he laid eyes on the person he sought.
