Chapter 563

Juanita’s face grew even darker.

This wasn’t what she was usually hearing from Lindsey.

With furrowed brows, she carefully examined Domenic again.

All she could see was that he exuded an inexplicably elite aura.

However, Juanita still wasn’t thoroughly convinced.

After all, she had already encountered the type who was seemingly brilliant and eloquent, but all they could do was empty talk.

Hence, she thought that though Domenic could deceive Lindsey and these big shots, she shouldn’t be affected.

Besides, even if he didn’t tell them who his boss was, there should be a way to find out.

When she finally found out his real background, she would let Lindsey see his true colors!

Walking up to those big shots, Juanita raised her glass and proposed a toast to them.

She smiled and declared, “Sumner has signed in Lindsey’s agency.

Now, the two of them are working together.

Please take good care of them in the future.

”

As soon as Domenic heard this, the look on his face suddenly became serious.

He looked up at Juanita and the two people beside her—

Lindsey and Sumner.

Wanting to be polite, Lindsey smiled and raised her glass as well.

Her cheeks had become rosy from having drunk too much.

She clinked glasses with those big shots and was about to drink when Sumner stopped her.

“Linds, you already drank too much tonight.

Let me take that one for you.

”

But as soon as Sumner said that, Domenic stood up from his seat and swiftly took the goblet in Lindsey’s hand.

Domenic looked at Sumner with a neutral expression and said with a smile, “I’m her boyfriend.

I’ll take this one for her.

”

Sumner watched silently as Domenic downed the champagne in one go.

After setting the glass down, Domenic turned to Juanita and said, “Ms.

Lopez, Lindsey isn’t much of a drinker and she’s getting a bit tipsy.

I’ll take her for a rest.

”

Sensing a change in Domenic’s expression, Lindsey gently tugged at her mother’s sleeve and whispered, “Mom, I really can’t have any more to drink.

”

Noticing that Lindsey’s cheeks were indeed red, Juanita’s tone softened as she consented, “Go and rest.

”

With her mother’s approval, Lindsey softly took hold of Domenic’s arm.

Domenic, wearing a subtle smile, addressed the gathering with poise, “Please excuse us.

”

He then left, guiding Lindsey with him.

The two of them found their way to a lounge near the banquet center.

Domenic requested a glass of lemonade from a waiter and handed it to Lindsey, then casually inquired, “Is Sumner working at your company now?”

Holding the glass, Lindsey nodded and confirmed, “Yes, he initially auditioned as a singer for Vitality Entertainment.

I promised to be his agent back then.

Later, when he learned I was running a company, he joined us.
