Chapter 565

Domenic, seated upright with hands resting on the sofa’s back and his tie slightly askew, exuded an air of unruliness.

“Come out.

” Juanita shot her daughter a piercing glance, turned around, and strode away.

Sulking, Lindsey pursed her lips and hurried to catch up with her mother.

Juanita stopped in a secluded nook, turned abruptly, and cast an angry glare at Lindsey, saying, “This man purportedly intended to escort you to rest.

I sensed his intentions were nefarious.

Did he lack control in the lounge? If I hadn’t intervened, would you have dallied in carnal affairs? You, as a young lady, ought to grasp self-preservation.

Don’t give yourself casually to an undependable man.

”

“Mom, you’re misconstruing the situation! Mr.

Walsh is not the man you perceive him to be,” Lindsey hastily explained.

“Mr.

Walsh?” Juanita frowned.

“Walsh, you say?”

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Lindsey queried, perplexed by Juanita’s reaction.

“ihat precisely is his name?”

“Domenic Walsh.

”

Juanita had never encountered this name before.

However, the Walsh family, preeminent among the four clans in Morcastle, crossed her mind momentarily.

The Vitality Group, founded by the formidable youngest scion of the Walsh family, held an enigmatic status in the business realm.

Notwithstanding his face, even his name was scarcely recognized.

On reflection, Lindsey’s boyfriend was merely an ordinary company employee.

How could he possibly be associated with the Walsh family?

Many people bore the surname Walsh, prompting Juanita to dismiss it as a coincidence.

As Juanita pondered this, Domenic advanced toward her from the corner, his pretty face and perfect building accentuating why her daughter was smitten with him.

“Ms.

Lopez, Linds, I’ve just received an urgent call from the company.

I regretfully must leave now.

” Domenic resumed his composed demeanor, a faint smile gracing his lips.

His words and comportment were faultless, but the more impeccable his behavior, the more disquietude gnawed at Juanita.

How profound must a man be to disguise himself so flawlessly.

“Very well,” Juanita consented, but she didn’t look at him.

“Let me walk you out.

” Turning to face Domenic, he nodded at her.

“Linds.

”

Unable to bear Lindsey’s meekness, Juanita yearned to intercede, but Lindsey paid no heed to her reservations.

Firmly clasping Domenic’s arm, she exited the banquet hall with him.

Fuming with ire, Juanita retrieved her phone and dialed her assistant’s number.

“Conduct an inquiry into a man by the name of Domenic Walsh.

I need to know about his employment and superiors.

”

Meanwhile, Benny, Shelia, and Kendra sat in a corner, oblivious to the scene unfolding.

After learning that Benny was the head of a tiny business, the bigwigs around Benny showed little interest in speaking with him despite his desire to make friends with them.

This gathering exuded an air of utilitarianism and purpose.
