Chapter 39

However, just as everyone was slandering and cursing her, Domenic suddenly showed up like a knight in shining armor.

As soon as he climbed onstage, he smiled at her, put his arm around her shoulders, and said gently, “Sorry, I’m late.

”

Lindsey snapped out of her daze and shook her head lightly.

“No, you came just in time.

”

It was then that Nina recognized Domenic, exclaiming, “It’s him! He’s the man Lindsey’s having an affair with!

The banquet hall erupted into chaos once more.

“Oh, my God! That guy’s gorgeous! If she has him as her sugar daddy, why bother getting married?”

“Lindsey’s boyfriend is nowhere near as handsome as him!”

“Hmm, I beg to differ.

Since she has a boyfriend, she should be loyal to him.

But I guess I can see where she’s coming from.

Now that she’s found a better suitor, why settle for the inferior man?

Besides, I heard that Chayce’s family is very poor.

Maybe he’s only trying to marry into the Stewart family to get a leg up in life!”

After casting a scornful glance at the cheap ring in Chayce’s hand, Domenic fished out a delicate velvet box from his pocket and opened it in front of Lindsey.

Inside lay a delicate silver bracelet densely inlaid with several rows of diamonds that sparkled so brightly.

“Oh, my God! It’s a limited edition Cartier bracelet!”

“I know that piece, and it costs over a hundred thousand dollars!”

All the guests shifted their focus to Domenic and Lindsey, claiming that the two of them looked like a perfect match.

It was as though Chayce, who had just proposed to Lindsey, had faded into the background, forgotten by everyone.

Nina, who had been so arrogant just a moment earlier, now clenched her fists, her eyes burning with jealousy.

Under the envious gaze of the crowd, Domenic held up Lindsey’s hand and carefully put the Cartier bracelet around her slender wrist.

Only then did Lindsey notice that he was wearing an expensive Patek Philippe watch.

Startled, she looked him up and down in surprise, only to find that he wasn’t wearing the suit she had bought for him, but a high-end designer suit that would’ve cost ten times as much.

What? This man was supposed to be desperate for money, wasn’t he? So, where did he get all

these expensive Luxuries?

Noticing the puzzled look in her eyes, Domenic leaned over and whispered in her ear, “I rented these to keep up appearances.

”

His warm breath tickled her ear, causing Lindsey to shiver subconsciously.

Shyly adjusting her hair to cover up her bright red earlobes, she murmured, “It must’ve cost you a lot of money.

”

There was a tinge of guilt in her voice.

After all, he had spent so much money just to help her, which made her feel bad.

“You’ll cover my expenses, won’t you?” Domenic straightened up and asked in a low voice.

Lindsey nodded in relief.

At least she didn’t have to feel guilty anymore.

Besides, the money was well spent; it had the desired effect, judging from furious expressions of Kendra and Chayce.

Now the most important part of the plan was in place, Lindsey began her counterattack.

With a bright smile, she held Domenic’s arm intimately and said to the guests, “Everyone, today is indeed my engagement party.

However, the hero who has won my heart is not Chayce, but this gentleman beside me.
