Chapter 30

Lindsey, however, was in the middle of a game.

She clamped the phone between her neck and ear and said, “Oh! I was about to tell you all about it.

Ismael was fired and Nina was expelled.

The school not only awarded me with the past three years’ first prize scholarship, but they compensated me with some money.

I think that from now on, they’ll handle the selection of the most outstanding graduate impartially.

”

Upon hearing her joyful account of what had happened, Domenic couldn’t help but smile.

“That’s good to hear.

”

“Thanks for checking in on me.

” Lindsey’s sweet voice tugged at Domenic’s heartstrings, a feeling he had never felt before.

Domenic leaned back in his leather chair, feeling as though the exhaustion that had accumulated over the past few days had dissipated, and there was a tenderness in his eyes that even he didn’t notice.

Just as he was about to say something more, he suddenly heard a man’s anxious voice from the other end of the line.

“Linds, focus! We can’t afford any distractions right now!”

The voice had come from Lindsey’s laptop speakers.

In the game, she was in the middle of a fierce battle together with Sumner and some other teammates.

It was inevitable that her performance would be affected if she stayed on the call.

Everyone had been preparing for this competition for a long time.

Not wanting to drag the entire team down, Lindsey hurriedly said goodbye to Domenic.

“Mr.

Walsh, I’m in the middle of something

important.

Let’s chat another day!”

With that, she hung up on him.

Domenic’s expression darkened as the dial tone droned into his ear.

Who was the man she was with?

Why did that man ask her to focus on what they were doing?

And what on earth were they doing in the first place?

Many undesirable notions appeared in Domenic’s mind.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt.

Had she been pretending to be simple and innocent all this time?

Indeed, they had shared a passionate night together in the hotel, but when they met again, she acted like a totally different person.

Mulling over the duality in Lindsey, Domenic’s eyes turned cold.

How many sides did this woman have?

Lindsey didn’t have class on Friday afternoon, so she made it back home before dinner.

As soon as she entered the house, she found Chayce and Benny sitting on the sofa, chatting with each other pleasantly.

What on earth was he doing here? Seeing her repulsive boyfriend, Lindsey couldn’t help but frown.

“Lindsey, you’re finally here!” Chayce got up and trotted over to Lindsey, a gleam of joy shining in his rat-like eyes.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier that your father finally agreed to our marriage?”

Lindsey bypassed him and strode towards the sofa, sitting down next to her father.

She looked up at Chayce and pretended to be confused, asking, “I haven’t even told you yet.

How’d you find out?”
