Chapter 484

Lindsey couldn’t help but find it ironic that her dad and stepmom saw her as the troublemaker, pretending they were the innocent ones.

Back in the day, when her dad said no to violin lessons, she didn’t kick up a fuss or complain, understanding his struggles.

But now, why was she being blamed?

She had always been kind and reasonable, yet now it seemed to count for nothing.

Her heart, once tender, was now immune to the swings of emotion.

She felt none of it was worth her effort anymore.

“I’ll get someone to drop off some clothes.

” Noting the determination on Lindsey’s face, Domenic figured she had her own agenda for attending this family dinner.

Just as he was about to reach for his phone to dial, a sophisticated and graceful female voice interrupted.

“No need for that.

You don’t have to go anywhere.

Mrs.

Evelyn Perry and I go way back.

I’m sure she can spare some clean clothes for you,” Monica stated as she approached.

Kendra’s face tensed up at once.

“Ms.

Hughes, but.

.

It wouldn’t be right for Lindsey to wear Mrs.

Perry’s clothes.

We shouldn’t let her dirty them.

Maybe it’s best if she just goes home.

”

Monica’s gaze on Kendra was icy as she retorted, “The dinner tonight is to honor the Perry family’s guests.

Lindsey fell into the pool at their place, so they should take care of it.

It’s only a dress.

“Would Mrs.

Perry really mind? Or do you think Mrs.

Perry Lacks generosity?”

“I didn’t mean that.

It’s just…Kendra’s lips quivered as she forced a strained smile.

”

She had everything mapped out in her head, yet she never saw it coming that Monica would go to great lengths for Lindsey.

People of such wealth and status were usually aloof and self-centered, uncaring towards strangers unless it served their interests.

Why was Lindsey always so lucky?

“What’s going on here?”

A sharp voice sliced through the air from the villa’s entrance, drawing everyone’s attention.

They turned to see Jacob’s mother, Evelyn Perry, poised and regal in an elegant evening gown.

A hush fell over the crowd; no one wanted to get involved.

They preferred to stay out of it and just watch the drama unfold.

Upon seeing Evelyn, Monica approached her with a respectful nod.

“Mrs.

Perry, there was a small mishap.

This lady accidentally fell into the pool, and her clothes were soaked.

Her friend jumped in to rescue her.

Could we possibly get some dry clothes to prevent them from catching a cold?”

Evelyn glanced over at Lindsey and Dominic before softly gripping Monica’s arms, her stern expression melting into a warm smile.

“Certainly.

Ms.

Hughes, you’re acquainted with this lady?”

Monica returned the smile thinly.

“Yes, we go way back.

”

Kendra’s eyes went wide with shock.

The idea of them being acquainted long ago appeared hard to believe.

Evelyn confirmed with a nod.

“It all makes sense now.

You wouldn’t stand up for someone you didn’t know.

Since you’re acquainted with her, I’ll make sure she’s treated well.

”

With those words, Evelyn instructed her servants to escort Lindsey and Domenic to the dressing room.
