Chapter 333
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
His laughter was tinged with anger as he approached her, his towering figure casting a shadow over her.
âLet me ask you.
You knew Sumner is Paigeâs godson and sheâs keen on you being Sumnerâs girlfriend.
She invited you to the hot spring resort.
Given the Likelihood of Sumner being there, why did you still go? Why didnât you ask in advance?â
Lindsey found herself a bit stunned by his question.
Previously, Paige had mentioned she would be joining a group of prominent female agents in the industry.
She was so focused on getting acquainted with the industry seniors that the thought of Sumner being there hadnât even crossed her mind.
She hadnât considered asking Paige about his presence.
Lindsey never intended to get connected with Vincent through Sumner.
And she always perceived Paigeâs remarks about pairing her up with Sumner as nothing more than light-hearted banter, not to be taken seriously.

It wasnât until today, when Paige orchestrated a scenario to bring her and Sumner together, that she fully grasped just how much Paige liked her.
Yet, even if she tried to clarify, it felt like she was telling a lie.
Lindseyâs mouth moved, but she was at a loss for how to respond.
Seeing Lindseyâs hesitation to speak, Domenic understood that he had hit the nail on the head.
With a hint of irony, he asked, âLindsey, were you eager to see Sumner there? Is that why youâre in a hurry just to meet him?â
Lindseyâs eyes widened as she gazed at Sumner, her eyelashes fluttering.
Raising her voice, she protested, âI never thought about that! I told you before that I had no idea Sumner would be there.
I never even considered it.
He and I are just friends.
Thereâs nothing more to it.
Why canât you have faith in me?
Domenicâs eyes showed a hint of redness.
He pulled out his phone, displaying the photos from
the trending news, and scoffed, âYou were dancing with him and having dinners.
He drove you home late, even tenderly removed a leaf from your hair.
Now you sneak off to the hot spring resort with him while Iâm away.
You claim youâre just friends and nothing happened? How am I supposed to believe that?â
Lindsey was shocked.
How did Domenic know so much about their whereabouts? He even knew that time when Sumner had helped her brush off a fallen leaf from her hair in the neighborhood.
It was such a small and specific detail.
She stared at him, bewildered.
âHow do you know all this? Have you been following me all this time?â
Lindsey realized it wasnât a mere coincidence that she bumped into Domenic so often.
She suspected these encounters were his doing.
Domenicâs chest rose and fell with intense anger.
In a moment of anger, he had revealed the fact that he had someone following her.
Lindsey saw his earlier fierce attitude suddenly vanish, confirming her suspicions.
It was clear to her now; that Domenic had been following her movements, never really trusting her.
Lindsey lost her balance and took two steps back.
She suddenly felt that the man in front of her was a bit frightening to her.
With a shaky voice, Lindsey confronted him, âWas everything you said about believing me just a trick to soothe me? Youâve never truly trusted me.
Youâve been doubting me all this time.
How could you track me like that? It makes me sick!â
Domenic suddenly froze in place.
Tears of disappointment and fear filled Lindseyâs eyes.
The reality hit Domenic like a splash of cold water, calming his anger and replacing it with a sense of helpless panic and a sharp ache in his heart.
