Chapter 566

Benny, feeling thoroughly disregarded, dined in silence, engulfed by despondency.

Shelia tugged at her mother’s sleeve.

“Mom, what’s with dad? He’s been indifferent for a while now.

”

Kendra gazed at Benny and bit her lower lip.

“He must rue divorcing that woman years ago.

”

“How do we maneuver? Lindsey’s mother wields immense influence.

How shall we navigate this?” Shelia asked anxiously.

Gripping her cutlery tightly, Kendra regarded her daughter with a hint of envy.

“I have my stratagem, Shelia.

You needn’t feel overshadowed.

In terms of stature, you eclipse her by far!”

Shelia was taken aback.

“What do you mean? I don’t comprehend.

”

Kendra offered no further explanation, slicing her steak and consuming it.

At that moment, Kendra’s attention was abruptly seized by a pair of figures at the banquet hall’s entrance.

It was Lindsey and her boyfriend!

In the past days, Kendra had failed to capture any photo of Lindsey and her boyfriend, and she hadn’t anticipated the man’s presence at the banquet.

Abruptly, she set aside her utensils, rose from her chair, and swiftly departed.

“Where are you heading?” Benny furrowed his brow and shot a quick look in Kendra’s direction.

“IT need to use the restroom.

” Kendra kept her displeasure toward Benny, maintaining a gentle outward demeanor.

Benny didn’t respond, and Kendra quickly left, following Lindsey and Domenic.

Before getting into the car, Domenic placed his hand on Lindsey’s waist and grinned, saying, “When will you return and shower me with your affection? I’ve already experienced the challenges of being on my own.

”

Lindsey blushed and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze.

“I’ll talk to my mother about it tonight.

How about next week?”

Domenic was on the verge of stepping into his car when Kendra chased over to the door.

She grabbed her phone, aiming it at him and Lindsey.

Just as she was about to snap a photo, an unexpected collision with someone caused her phone to tumble to the ground.

She raised her gaze and found herself face-to-face with a man dressed in black.

That man uttered in a frosty tone, “My apologies.

” With that, he made a hasty exit.

Despite her anger, Kendra didn’t have the luxury of arguing with the man.

She hurriedly retrieved her phone, intending to take photos, but Domenic had vanished.

Lindsey strolled over and asked, “Kendra, why are you here alone?”

With a guilty conscience, Kendra swiftly stashed the phone in her handbag and met Lindsey’s gaze.

“Oh, nothing much.

I just needed a breather.

Lindsey, were you saying goodbye to your boyfriend?”

Lindsey wasn’t in the mood for conversation.

“Yes,” she replied and headed inside.

Kendra hastened to catch up and flashed a smile.

“You’ve been with your boyfriend quite a while now.

Why don’t you bring him home with you, and we can all have dinner together? We’re family, and I wouldn’t want that bond to be strained.

”
