Chapter 269

Was this man the one Lindsey ran to that night after being drugged?

They had been in cahoots all this time? But why he had the nerve to show up at the engagement party?

The truth hit Chayce like a brick.

Lindsey had played him for a fool, and he was the last to know.

He’d been made to look like a complete idiot.

Brushing off his hand, now dirty from the scuffle with Chayce, Domenic returned to Lindsey’s side and offered his hand.

“Let’s head back.

”

Lindsey, still reeling, glanced at Domenic and placed her hand in his.

They vanished from view as Chayce slowly picked himself up, tasting blood in his mouth.

That was when he heard applause and saw Shelia approaching from a distance.

Lifting his gaze, he saw her.

Shelia had driven by, spotted them, stopped her car, and watched in secret.

She hadn’t anticipated such a dramatic revelation.

She couldn’t contain her laughter.

“What a show I’ve stumbled upon.

”

Chayce got to his feet, bloodied mouth and all, and fixed his gaze on Shelia.

“What are you doing here? Where’s Kendra?”

“Mom’s under tight watch by Dad at home.

You won’t be seeing her.

”

Shelia stared at Chayce with a hint of disdain.

“Chayce, forget about my family.

Don’t you see who you should really be worrying about? I thought you weren’t interested in Lindsey, but it turns out you’ve been made a fool by her.

That’s just sad.

”

Shelia burst into a loud, mocking laugh.

“Shut up!” Chayce, feeling offended, yelled, “She’s such a bitch.

I can’t believe she’d cheat on me.

”

With her arms folded, Shelia let out a scornful snort.

“They’re in love, and they’re successful.

Look at yourself.

You’re out of work.

But then again… You got cheated on and beaten up.

Deep down, you don’t really hate her, do you?”

Chayce balled his hands into fists.

Of course, he hated her.

He despised Lindsey with every fiber of his being.

It was all Lindsey’s fault that his life was ruined.

Now, he had nothing to hold over Lindsey anymore.

He couldn’t get any more money out of her.

“If I were in your shoes, I’d make whoever hurt me suffer double.

If I’m going through tough times, I’m not going through them alone.

But then again… I doubt a coward Like you could ever do that.

”

Shelia’s biting words felt like a knife in Chayce’s heart.

Through gritted teeth, he said, “I’m not going to let Lindsey get away with this.

But she has that new guy with her…”

“He’s just a pretty face, nothing to worry about,” Shelia remarked with contempt.
