Chapter 542

Listening to Lindsey, Juanita’s face darkened.

“So, he’s basically just an opportunist?” she said.

“Mum, it’s not like that.

Back then, he was just trying to help me out… And ever since, he’s really been there for me.

We’re sharing a rented apartment, but he never asks for rent money.

He even handles all our living costs.

I…”

Lindsey was in the middle of defending Domenic when Juanita cut in, looking at her intently.

“Linds, from what you’ve told me, are you living together with this man?”

Lindsey paused eating, her lower lip caught between her teeth.

A mother always knows her daughter best.

Juanita, seeing Lindsey’s reaction, understood her suspicion was correct.

Setting her fork down, Juanita sat up straight and said to Lindsey with a serious tone, “Linds, you should move in with me.

”

Lindsey stared at Juanita, taken aback.

Before Lindsey could say anything, Juanita cut her off.

“You’re living with a man without being married.

It’ll look bad if people find out.

”

“Mom, he’s my boyfriend.

”

“That’s not enough.

” Juanita raised her voice and scolded Lindsey.

Then Juanita softened her tone and said, “Back then, I wasn’t there for you, and your dad was no help, so you had to leave.

And someone took advantage of that.

But now I’m here.

This is where you belong.

Pack your things today.

I’ll send a car for you tomorrow.

”

In her heart, Juanita was convinced that Lindsey had gotten herself involved with a man who was just after her money, similar to how Benny had deceived Juanita.

Juanita was determined not to let her daughter walk the same path she had, and she would use any means necessary to end Lindsey’s current relationship.

At least Juanita was set on not giving them any opportunity to grow closer.

Seeing Lindsey remain quiet as she stirred her food, Juanita understood that Lindsey was unhappy with her plan.

After a moment of thought, Juanita looked at Lindsey with a softer expression.

“What’s the matter? I ask you to stay with me for a few days and you hesitate? Now that you have a boyfriend, you don’t even want to be around your mother.

”

Lindsey was taken aback by the sudden shift in Juanita’s tone.

Knowing Juanita had just returned from overseas, Lindsey felt she should spend more time with her mother.

She was okay with visiting as long as Juanita didn’t insist on her moving back in.

“Mom, I’ll come over tomorrow and spend some time with you.

”

Juanita felt a surge of happiness when Lindsey agreed.

She believed that if Lindsey came over, she would find a way to keep her here.

But Juanita knew this wasn’t enough to address the root issue.

A crafty smile played on her Lips as she plotted her next move.

Elegantly taking a bite of her food, Juanita casually mentioned, “By the way, Linds, I’ve returned for another reason.

I’m looking for a brand ambassador for Cherish.
